OOTD: Azzurro

I don't know if it is the same with the word "blue" in English, but the word "azzurro" in Italian immediately triggers images of summer and Mediterranean sea, mostly thanks to a famous song by Paolo Conte that is a classic of the Italian culture.
In any case I hadn't really planned to wear a total blue outfit the other day but in the end I did. I just wanted to try on my new Liberty perfect shirt in assorted florals (blue/white combo) that I had just picked up with the 40% off. Actually I wanted to try it with a new pink bra (am I the only one who buys her bras in January?) that was supposed to take care of a bit of gaping (I decided to go with a 0 instead of a 2 even if the 0 just fit). Well, I hadn't realized that the color would show through that much! My boobs are almost neon-y!

Obviously the bra goes back but at that point I was inspired and started to try other things with it. So I decided to cover the neon-y boobs with a sweater that is almost the same exact color of the pants. I tend to categorize my clothes in "summer" and "winter" and the V-neck cashmere pointelle sweater came out in the summer so it didn't occur to me before that I could wear it in the winter too. Granted the pointelle weave is not the warmest but the yarn is thick and soft and with a layer it can be worn in the winter (I have it in the succulent green color too and I wore it in the summer directly on the skin). I was feeling a bit constricted (as I usually do when I wear a button down with a sweater) so I got rid of the Liberty shirt and wore a white tissue turtleneck instead:

It was a gorgeous day (if cold) so I decided that this would be my outfit for the afternoon (it was the day of my Opera mom's night out so I went for a manicure before picking up my daughter at school). I only changed the shoes because I want to save these white leather ballet flats for the spring. They are one of those early morning crazy popbacks. I had actually ordered them once before (in the summer) but my order was cancelled and they never popped back again in my size until last week. I was really sad to miss on them because white shoes are really hard to find (for a reason totally unexplicable to me. Shouldn't the majority of summer shoes be white?)

Speaking of popbacks, look who's back. The terrazzo jacket! In a size 2! Again, an early morning random popback that shipped. You might remember that I returned the 0 that I had paid full price in the summer because it was uncomfortable in the shoulders and I was afraid that I wouldn't reach for it as often as I hoped. I stalked the 2 for a little while, then lost interest in a tweed jacket (it was the middle of the summer when it's so hot that all you want to wear is a bikini), but regretted ever since.
The 2 is perfect in the shoulder, but a bit looser in the body (although not so loose as to be unflattering):

Do wear "azzurro" in the winter? Any crazy popbacks for you?
