Nostalgia over holiday sparkle
Snow has been a constant companion in Calgary as of late. After shovelling it again and again today, I gave up and headed for the indoor comfort and some homemade chicken noodle soup.
The holidays are sadly done. My nostalgia inspired me to wear some sparkle in a kid-like effort to recreate at least a bit of their joy and magic. That and I was long looking for an excuse to wear a beaded skirt again 
You’ll recognize the sweater from the previous look – sweaters are my “comfort clothes” and I always look for ways of adding them to any outfit – dressy or not.
Thank you for reading !

Who said playgrounds are for kids only?

I would wear a sequinned skirt anywhere! I love how you teamed it with tights and a sweater for winter. Skirts don’t need to be saved just for the warmer weather. Nice
Thank you! I searched for this skirt all over Barcelona, combing through 5 Zara stores to find my size. Now each time I wear it, it feels great
Very cool skirt. I love how you styled it for daytime! I feel your pain about the snow. Ottawa has also had tons of it this winter.
Thank you! It sounds like Ottawa can compete with Calgary in the weather department. I’ve been showeling snow steadily here over the last few days. On the bright side, I think my arms are going to be well toned after this Canadian winter
