Dress: H&M. Striped cardigan: Jacob Connexion. Pear watch pendant: Marc by Marc Jacobs. Black ribbed knee socks: H&M. Black high heel oxfords: Aldo.

While everyone else is donning their lightest summer frocks, I always look like I'm dressed for winter with the dark colours, cardigans, and legwear. But it's always freezing cold in my part of the office (although that doesn't explain the dark colours).

That evening, I went to my second Summerlicious event, this time at 5th Elementt.

What I ate:
Amuse - Green Market Vegetable Bisque with goat cheese canapé
Starter - Salmon Wrapped Scallops with onion relish and soy reduction
Main - Lamb Shank Roganjosh with mashed potato and feta cheese
Dessert - Peach and Lychee Mousse with kiwi-lime sauce

Each dish was quite tasty, especially the mashed potatoes. So delicious.

gosh, this looks so absolutely yummy! I would love to taste the Peach and Lychee Mousee with kiwi-lime sauce. This sounds extraordinary delicious.

I actually wish it was colder here too so I could wear all those pretty cardigans and laced up booties :)

The food looks so yummy!

I know how you feel, I forced myself to buy a few bright things (that still make me feel a little strange) because 90% of what I own is grey & black! I try to punch it up with bright accessories as much as I can.
You look so great in that dress, I tried it on and looked ridiculous!

That food looks and sounds delicious!
I like this outfit and pretty much all of your outfits. I think you just like certain colors. I always want a darker wardrobe, but I guess I am a bit of a magpie, everything bright and shiny catches my eye...

It was good! But I was so full by then that I gave the rest of my dessert to friends to finish.

It's actually quite warm here! But the office blasts the air conditioning.

Thanks! Funny thing about that dress -- I found a knock-off of it today at a Canadian retail chain.

90% of my wardrobe never used to be grey and black. I don't know how they took over my closet!

Here's the thing, until the past few months I didn't have many dark colours in my closet. I don't know when I started accumulating so many dark colours because I used to be all about colour and patterns.

But thank you!
