Checked Out

This coat was another find on last week's magical trip to the front hall closet, and I wish I had known it was sitting there sooner. What better way to add to a simple monochromatic outfit than to throw on a checked coat? It adds something special to the boring old jeans and white blouse combo. Had I known about this coat's existence sooner it would have no doubt made a frequent appearance in my winter wardrobe. Fortunately, though, or unfortunately, there's still time to wear it now. 

Boy Meets Girl

Today I've decided to work some of my favorite pieces in a totally different way. I've taken some inspiration from the boys for a look that's pretty different from my usual style. There's something so cool about menswear influenced womenswear though, the slouchy, laid back nature of it all just feels  effortless. So to create this look I've taken my pinstripe trousers and paired it with a basic white blouse and Zara's take on a Givenchy sweatshirt. Now, if everything went the way I wanted it to I would have been wearing these with this outfit, but of course they were too narrow for my feet. So while I'm still on the hunt for the next best sneaker, (because let's face it the sneaker trend is everywhere right now) my trusty converse do the job for now.

Double Down

Winter is all about layering, however, I wanted to try something new. We've seen layering a button down with a sweater plenty of times. But what about layering a button down with another button down? It was kind of just this idea I had in my head for a while and I decided to give it a try. And I must say I love it. I think it works well because of how different the two shirts are though. The crispness of the white shirt against the laid-back nature of the denim shirt adds a fun contrast. And since it was sunny out on Saturday, instead of an impending snow storm as it is now, I got to roll up my sleeves. 

Cashmere & Leather

What I'm Wearing: Pants Mother Denim | Blouse Tildon | Sweater Equipment | Shoes Vince | Beanie BP.

The greatest thing about winter? Easy, cashmere. And this oversized, burgundy, Equipment cashmere is my new go-to sweater to keep snuggly and warm during this ridiculously cold weather. Perfect on its own, even better when dressed up with a button-up underneath. Add suede slip-ons (yes, not ideal when there's snow on the ground but I just love them), and then nothing completes an outfit like leather pants and a slouchy beanie.
