Winter in Los Angeles is anti-climatic for sure. While the rest of the country (and other parts of the world) get to enjoy the brisk cold, we're lucky if we get to pop on a hat and scarf for a couple hours a day. With dark blue and faux fur as my wintry base, here's my version of an L.A. winter with a flash of color that you just can't miss.
I pulled out my favorite skirt from when I was pregnant, and used it as the inspiration for both of our outfits. You can see all the outfit details below…
Mama outfit / 1. Target tank, 2. Zuzii faux fur pom hat, 3. Lauren Moffatt jacket (past season) – similar, 4. Loeffler Randall boots (past season) – similar, 5. Calypso skirt (past season) – similar.
Babe outfit / 6. Target faux fur vest (past season) - similar, 7. Ban.do buttons, 8. Gap Kids tights (past season) – similar, 9. Two Els dress, 10. Zuzii shoes.
And, if you're in L.A., this Taschen Gallery is pretty amazing!

Love the neon pink! But I must say that I giggled a bit seeing Ruby’s bare arms as winter wear (it’s 20 degrees in Ohio right now!). I’m just jealous of your California living. 🙂
awesome photos! love your pink skirt!
so fun. i bought a faux fur vest for my daughter because they look so cute on toddlers except she refused to wear it! but we do like neon pink a lot 🙂
You two are so adorable! I just adore that bright fuchsia color. I’m sure that anyone who saw you two that day got a big smile on their face!

Hi Joy,
I love your skirt! I’m pregnant now and will be due in the middle of summer and would love to find a piece like that. When you’re choosing a size from a non-maternity item to wear while you’re pregnant did you size up on the skirt? Also, did the skirt come with that adorable bow? Love your style!
So cute and fun – I love the pink!! I’m def not enjoying the brisk cold here in NYC, but i’m contemplating a bright puffy jacket. I’m so tired of dressing like a garbage bag.
Hey Becky!
Congrats on your babe to be! We did a whole Dressing the Bump series that talks about sizing and how to choose non-maternity pieces.
You can see the whole series here:

Ha! I know how you feel..I lived on the East Coast for 30 years!

I love that pop of pink! So so adorable!
Lovely! That’s a great pink color! I adore dressing my daughter in outfits that are similar to mine without being over the top matchy matchy.
Do you mind if I inquire about the size skirt you chose and how tall you are? I’m hoping to find this one on ebay!
adorable! love the pink.
happy weekend~
Love that pop of pink! You make having a baby girl look so fun and joyful. I will soon be inspired to get one of my own to style with 😀
I love the matching tights to the dress. The hot pink looks great!

Hi Becky!
I normally wear a size XS or S, but I got the skirt when they were mostly sold out and only had a M left. It has a tie around the waist, so that helps it fit okay. But I would have gotten a smaller size if it was available. I am 5’3” and have to wear it higher on the waist so the length fits.
Best!
Joy
Loving those pops of fuchsia! Such a gorgeous color, and a fun way to add color to a winter wardrobe.
