Grey and Pink; soft winter colours

grey coat pink pants, pastel, soft colours for winterOne of the colour combinations I am really excited for this winter is a soft pink and grey. Grey is one of my favourite non colours and with all this gorgeous snow we got over the weekend I think it is a beautiful pairing.

I scored them while jeans & cords were 50% off at Loft so they were a steal. This is the first time I have bought a pair of pants at Loft. They fit quite large. I was told by the sales staff that this is because they are North American sizing. I am not sure how that works since I have lived in North America my whole life but apparently as Canadians we are used to European sizing in a North American sizing convention? Not sure. All I know is that Loft pants fit large. I was one size down from my usual in the 6/8/10 sizes and two sizes down from 27/28/29 sizes. I find usually a 32 is equivalent to a 10 but at Loft it was equivalent to a 14.

I had grand plans of heading to a park to take outfit pictures but after shoveling a path from the house to the car I didn't really feel like having to dig the car out as well! I hope that the snow stays for Christmas. Then it can melt. HA!

After doing these outfit pictures I put on my snow pants and parka and stomped around in the snow with the kids for a while. They made snow angles, I made sure the sidewalks were walkable again.
