blues and greys

Cardigan and hoodie: Men’s clearance H&M. Leopard print leggings: Strawberry. Boots: Chloe. Men’s Fedora: Thrift. Bag: Thrift (DIY studded). ps: For those that ask, you can order studs from the Suds n Spikes.com site. Wool scarf (not seen): Love Quotes
Luckily there was car access to get around earlier today since it’s still cold (thank God for heated seats). The oversized grey cardigan is from the men’s clearance section from H&M. It’s huge and the sleeves go way past my hands. Perfect.
I layered up with thermals (from a ski shop). The boots are by Chloe. I had always wanted the short version, but when the tall ones popped up on ebay I took the plunge.
Even though I love brown leopard prints, I’m really liking the blue/grey versions ALOT. My scarf here is becoming a fixture on my neck (on top of a wool scarf). Layers, layers, layers…

    I was actually a little freaked out when I read the title of your post because I literally just painted my nails blue and grey, haha. Maybe that’s the color theme of the cold because being in the city lately definitely influenced my nail polish choice. The sweater looks ridiculously comfortable.
