Valentine’s Day / Winterlude / Family Day outfits

I cleared my schedule this weekend of work and volunteering obligations and it was suuuuuuuuch a treat to make time for my Ottawa family and friends. The festivities involved a staycation, food and variety of winterlude activities, providing ample opportunities for outfit changes, and you can find a photo summary of the latter below.

Outfit 1: 9 to 5 and beyond

Work often bleeds straight into personal engagements and having outfits that serve both purposes is essential. This Femme de Carriere combo has been one of my go-to’s for many a winter season.

Version 2

This Karl Lagerfeld dress is easily dressed down with a Betsy Johnson coat.

Outfit 2: Formal evening wear

For more formal celebrations, long dresses and heavier gowns are expected but for a bit of fun I went for long layers of tulle with this boutique 1861 number.

Outfit 3: Fun evening wear

Party dresses in winter are tricky and I tend to choose longer sleeves and versatile layers (easily added or removed) to stay warm. This Marciano party dress checked these boxes for me.
