So the best place to get natural light in our flat is by the bay window. That also happens to be the coldest spot in our flat. The glass acts less like a barrier to cold weather and more like a conduit (“See these cute cracks, wind? Just sneak through here!” Damn you, window). It was roughly 3°C (that’s about 37 °F), so I would guess our bay window area is about 4°C with wind gusts of 10 mph. Hence the lovely I’m-so-freakin’-cold pose:
Another classic pose (“Matt, I swear I can actually see the wind whistling through the window frame”), but I had to include it because it shows the actual gorgeous color of this paisley shirt jacket I picked up at vintage clothing store Armstrongs the other day.
Jacket from Armstrongs • H&M turtleneck • Next pink trousers • Frye boots • thrifted leather bag (Finders Keepers, Atlanta) • necklace from Snoozer Loser
Isn’t that a lovely use of paisley? I think someone hand made this shirt/jacket because there isn’t a label and certain bits look hand-stitched.
I added my Eugenia Kim hat and snood before piling on my jacket and coat (four layers!):
Below is an outfit photo of my kitchen chair. S/he decided to wear my other Armstrongs purchase: a floral printed shirt. I personally wouldn’t wear it open like that, and I would pair it with skinnies instead of a beige pillow, and put my hair in a top knot. To each their own, Chair.
Oh and look at our lovely prezie last weekend. More snow! Snow, I love. Wind, screw you! As I type this the wind is attempting to batter down my kitchen window and is succeeding in giving me palpitations.
Sorry AsianCajuns has been so Lar heavy this week. Cath has been wrapping up a hectic week at work and getting ready to come visit us – yipppeeee! I promise we’ll have more Cath posts post-Paris!

Ahh your pink skinnies are awesome and I can FEEL the cold just by looking at that first picture. Oh man, so much snow! Perhaps you’ll have a white christmas this year Lar? Also.loving your newest thrifted purchases!
that jacket is fantastic!!!
I love that jacket, Lar. And I dunno. I think the chair is wearing that other GORGEOUS jacket pretty well right now Tough competition you got there.
I absolutely love your whole outfit. That paisley print is not something i would have picked out myself but it just works so well with your pink pants. Maybe it’s time to give paisley a try!
wow those pink pants and boots are incredible! xx
