Outfit post: Lots of layers for winter weather
After some unseasonably warm December temperatures, it’s finally getting to be winter around here (that’s the DC area if you’re keeping track).
For a lazy weekend day, I wanted two things: warmth and comfort. So I layered on a loose-fitting grey sweater over a black turtleneck sweater.
Another layer: a black-and-white Missoni knit scarf (thank you, Gilt Groupe!).
Weekend casual means denim to me, so I opted for my Paige Hidden Hills boot-cuts with a bit of stretch in them.
On my feet, perhaps the most comfortable–and unusual–pair of shoes I own, ankle boots from DKNY made of grey … I don’t know what. They’re sort of vinyl, inside and out. All I know is they slide on with ease and fasten with Velcro and don’t rub my feet and are good in the rain and don’t look like anything else I’ve seen.
But all those dark colors were a little dreary.
The answer? Color, of course! I love this bright turquoise Jack coat. It’s especially fun to wear now that I’ve found a matching hat, from the Albertus Swanepoel capsule collection at Target.
The finishing touch: my new favorite bag from Kate Spade, in glowing golden yellow “pollen.”
Instantly I go from “meh” to “yay.” (What do you think?)
