Olive the Colours!

I am so excited to wear bright, light colours! Mind you, I'm not totally on board with this whole pastel thing, especially mint green, a colour that I particularly loathe (check me out in 2009, ranting about my mother-in-law's mint green walls of her house, ha ha). It's really hard to wear.

Not hard? Olive!
And red and blue! Because I like colour - all of/olive (hee, see what I did?) the colours. Except mint green.

My Ron Leal (namecheck: Canadian high-end designer) jacket, last seen here (2nd outfit) in January.
I've layered it over my red wool dress, which I last wore here in February with a serious multitude of reds. Not sure if I will keep this dress in my spring/summer wardrobe - although it's sleeveless, I have another lighter-fabric red dress (this one) that doesn't get as much love in the cold months.
I built the outfit around the scarf, of course.

The stuff:
My "I [heart] Billy" shoes. Which I never wear. I last wore them in May 2013 (eep!) here with a jacket I passed along. I think it's time to pass these along - they are about a half-size too small, and although I love them, I don't really LOVE them. It's a fine line.

I spotted this scarf again the other day in my closet - I store my scarves in open shoe boxes, and my closet is in dire need of a clean-out so things are getting mess - and thought, "I need to wear this!" I put it at eye level (I'm very visual) and when I was planning my outfits on Sunday, I pulled the dress, shoes and jacket into the scarf party.
Simple accessories do the job.

Jacket (Ron Leal, thrifted), dress (The Limited, thrifted), shoes (I [Heart] Billy), belt (Danier Leather), scarf (thrifted), earrings (Joyce's, vintage 80s), ring (Wendy Brandes).
