MAC clutch - courtesy of Rebecca Minkoff
Sunday morning brunch is possibly one of my favorite things in the world. Breakfast food and good company = best combination. On this particular day, I asked Bobby what the weather was like (since he walked Miku). "Not too cold; it's actually really nice out." He told me I would be fine without a coat, in fact, because it was that nice out.
LIAR.
It was freezing and windy and I could have used not one but three or five coats. Luckily for me, the scarf I wore is approximately the size of a large blanket, so I wore it wrapped around me as such. Plus, Benchmark had lobster bisque. The moral of this story: Always check the temperature yourself and go to restaurants whose chefs understand the importance of hot soup on a cold day.
Unrelated, but I would like to apologize to all of the people with aversions to velvet (and I know there are many). I grew up in the 90s; velvet was practically a way of life. Nirvana lyrics fit all aspects of this post, so that worked out beautifully - a 90s miracle, if you will!
p.s. I made a small run of these velvet jackets for the site, and variants in other fabrics for Emerging Thoughts - just waiting to get my computer back!

I adore this look! Your scarf and jacket are amazing.
sunday brunch is pretty terrific except im afraid i dont get out for it enough! the jeans look great on you!x
You really look fantastic. Usually I don't like those skinny jeans but your look is great. And I love the scarf.
Wow, your hair looks amazing! Did you do something different with it?
I LOVE velvet! But I am a 90s child, too. Maybe that's why. Scarfs that can also funtion as blankets are the best!
I like that you are singlehandedly bring back the crushed velvet! I totally had several dresses for school dances that were crushed velvet! I love all your layers and textures!
your hair looks so pretty in these!
Every time I see your hair down, I am surprised by how LONG it is!
Ha! I grew up in the 90s too, which is why I'm having trouble coming back to velvet ;)
I love this outfit! the pop of color from your purse is perfect...
lobster bisque!! yes please!!
Comme d'habitude so beautiful !
crushed velvet is actually really growing on me now after seeing your beautiful posts. and i'm glad you were able to get some hot soup to warm you up!

Absolutely gorgeous! You are such an inspiration, you make me lust after velvet when I'm usually quite averse to it! I adore the jeans and booties too!
Btw, good lesson learned with checking the weather yourself! My other half constantly makes the weather seem mild when it's freezing... thank heavens for scarves and soup!
I love the gray color palette of this outfit with the pop of pink from the purse. Your scarf looks gorgeous on you!

I don't know if I could wear a velvet jacket but, I can't avoid my love of velvet pants for cooler weather occassions, you're not alone. Love those shoes!
I enjoy the velvet that you've been styling up! I think velvet is just intimidating for some people - me including. I get a little uneasy on how to style it and not end up looking like Stevie Nicks on crack. But you have great ideas and always look very chic. Keep it up!
Nice bag, love the colour :)
loving this outfit esp the perfectly fitting jeans & scarf!!
I love velvet - I'm worse than you though as I own a pair of velvet leggings! They're really warm though.
Yes velvet was big in the 90's, I had a pair of green velvet converse low tops. And I wish they would bring them back.
Remember the velvet chokers with the frilly blouse look?
I LOVE this. All the layers and patterns look chic and cozy, especailly with the hat (I'm always cold too). Those skinnies look amazing on you. Saved in my inspiration folder.
great style, amazing shoes, you wear it so well!
best outfit EVER. i need that velvet jacket in my life. it reminds me of something stevie nicks would wear, i love it!
I love the velvet! Fabulous
I love velvet! But maybe it's because one of my first formal dresses my mother ever bought me was velvet :P
