A couple of days ago, I found myself wondering what’s the story behind the fashion faux pas of wearing white after labour day. #schooled

Can Never Have Enough Cheetah
It feels so weird to be writing an outfit of the day post. It’s been four weeks since I last took photos of my outfit. FOUR. WEEKS. I don’t think I’ve ever neglected my blog for that long before. But there was nothing I could do it about it. This past month was torture. And lemme tell you, the polar vortex was a very real thing in Edmonton. We experienced the coldest February in 40 years (Global, 2019). Yes, I cite my sources. The average temperature was -19.4°C. That doesn’t even include how cold it was with windchill. So, folks, that is why I didn’t take outfit photos for four weeks. I could not even imagine taking standing outside for a second let alone 15 minutes trying to get a shot of my outfit. The blog just ain’t worth it.
But, I am very excited to be sharing all my new clothes with you! The outfit ideas have been building up during my absence from ze blog so I will definitely be sharing some cute outfits with y’all over the next couple of weeks. So I recently turned 24 and my parents got me this cheetah fur coat from Ralph Lauren. It’s so bougie and over the top and a lil’ ratchet. But that basically sums up me so it’s the coat for me. I know I already have a cheetah coat (see in this ootd here) but as I told a lady who complimented my coat, you can never have too much cheetah (or leopard). That’s a fact.
Because this coat is such a statement piece (cheetah AND faux fur), I knew I had to be a lot more subtle in the rest of my outfit which is a hard thing for me to do. I wore my favorite black turtleneck from Aritzia with a pair of distressed Citizens Rocket jeans. The turtleneck is called the Seaton top and it’s seriously the best turtleneck. I own it in 3 different colours but my fingers are crossed that they will be bringing it back in dozens of new colors for the fall next. Because I need 20 of them.

A Very Canadian Toque For a Very Canadian Winter
Doesn’t it always seem like winter is 8 million months long? Maybe that’s an exaggeration. It’s more like 2 million months long. I bet all you California and Florida and Texas (heck, even Vancouver) peeps are reading and nodding your heads pretending you know what a long winter feels like. Why oh why do I have to live in Edmonton where I’m permanently cold. Well, Taylor, you could just move. Yes, yes I could. And I plan to do that one day. Then I can finally stop complaining on ze blog all the time how cold I am.
When it stays so cold for so long, it becomes really hard to keep picking out cute outfit. All I want to do is throw on the biggest, thickest sweater I can find, wrap a blanket scarf around my neck, throw on Uggs and a parka and call it a day. But no, I can’t do that. Because I have to look “cute” and “stylish” and not like a potato. But I really want to be a potato. Ya feel?
Luckily, my new toque from Nordstrom combines my wannabe potato tendencies and a high cuteness factor into one. I picked up this hat when I was in Vancouver because they have the most glorious Nordstrom. When will Edmonton get a Nordstrom? I really need one. But for now we have Nordstrom Rack which is as good as it’s gonna get apparently. Anyways, Nordstrom is great and I found this cute pink faux fur pom pom toque (American translation: beanie) there. I have been searching for a new pom pom toque as cute as my Topshop cream one that I got a few years ago (see here) but it’s a lot harder to find the perfect one than you’d think. Topshop still makes the pom pom toques in a variety of colors but they’re not the same as my old one. They’re a lot bigger now. I have the world’s smallest head so no beanie fits quite right and thus the Topshop ones are now a lil’ bit too big for my pinhead. But the Nordstrom BP ones are perfect for all my small head friends
The rest of the outfit isn’t even worth talking about, to be honest. I’m wearing my favorite Kit and Ace peacoat over a cream sweater, black jeans and my black patent Kendall and Kylie boots. And, so we don’t die of boredom over my outfit, I’m carrying my pink Michael Kors purse that matches my pink toque because we all know I like to be matchy-matchy with my colours.

Famous Last Words
“They don’t have the pink colour in this coat at Club Monaco anymore because it was last season’s but they do have it in a gorgeous camel colour as well as a grey! I’m seriously debating getting the camel colour but my shopping has been out of control lately. But if you see the camel version of this coat on the blog next week, you will know I couldn’t resist it any longer.”
Ahh, famous last words.
When I got the pale pink Club Monaco Daylina coat last winter (ootd here), we all knew it was only a matter of time before I bit the bullet and bought it in two more colours. I tried to hold out as long as I could but when Boxing Day rolled around and the coats went on sale for more than half off, I just couldn’t wait any longer. So now, I have this coat in not one, not two, but THREE different colours. Light pink, camel and grey. What more could a girl need? Maybe the coat in black as well? Yes, I definitely need that. So, if Club Monaco releases this coat in black next winter, we all know what I will be buying.
After wearing my camel Topshop coat for years (see here), I figured it was time to invest in something warmer and nicer. This one is such a thick wool so it keeps me toasty warm even in the coldest of Edmonton winter days. Plus, it’s quite a bit longer than the jackets I’m used to, hitting me around mid-calf so that helps keep me warm as well! Underneath the coat, I’m wearing one of my favorite blazers from Zara. It’s an oversized boyfriend fit with no lapel so it’s a super easy piece to either dress up or down! I’ve been loving the whole layering coats and blazers look lately and as an added bonus, it helps keep me even warmer!
