Pink Peplum and House of Cards

Goodness it's Monday already. I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. Besides brunch and window shopping on Saturday, I did not leave my apartment. The reason for the self-imposed house arrest:

I am a huge fan of political dramas and an even bigger fan of Kevin Spacey so I pat myself on the back for only taking 1.5 months to get to watching the series. Without giving too much away, it is about Frank Underwood (played by Spacey), the House Majority Whip, who gets passed over as Secretary of State by the newly elected President and then decides to exact revenge on those who betrayed him. While you can expect Frank to be rather evil, no one else on the show is anywhere close to endearing either. Each character has secret agendas of their own which makes the show absolutely riveting. Season 1 is only 13 episodes long, so I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend a cold and snowy weekend. 

Anyway I lied - I did in fact leave the house for a quick grocery run yesterday and decided to put on a new purchase: 

I picked up this vibrant pink blouse on Friday evening from H&M and couldn't wear it quickly enough.  There are so many things going for this top - the subtle peplum is very flattering, the colour screams Spring (no kidding!) and most importantly, the quality of the lace is far superior than what you would expect of H&M.  

My only gripe - the back zip doesn't go down far enough on the top, which results in a bit of a wrestling-wriggling action to get it off! I just call it exercise.. 

H&M top, DL1961 Nina denim, Target Kaelyn boots (they are real suede not faux!), Morning Birds Sweatercoat

Regardless I look forward to the day I don't need to hide this top under a thick coat (albeit a really snuggly one..)

Have a great week!
