Gap Sale, Long Sleeved White Tee, Over the Knee Suede Boots, Plaid, Shirt Dress, Statement Coat, Studded Belt, Vince Camuto, Winter Layering

Okay, this might be the last plaid outfit for a while. No promises, though. 🙂

This day was filled with volunteering at the school. Library in the morning and helping with a reading event at lunchtime. Comfortable yet nice was the goal. An easy shirt dress to the rescue! This one is from that smokin’ GAP sale (the same one where I got this parka–60% off clearance price). If you are going to get one, I recommend you go smaller than usual. Gap runs big. I am usually a small, sometimes a medium, and for both the parka and the dress I went with the extra small. The dress came with a matching fabric belt, but I liked this studded belt (from my vast collection) better. It gave the outfit just a little more interest. Layering is a must to battle this frigid weather. This plain, white, long sleeved tee has a beefy quality (thick cuffs and collar) that brought a more casual feel to the outfit. Black tights and my ever present suede boots finish the look and for coat, I went with the Vince Camuto Boucle I bought at Marshall’s earlier this year (also seen here).

Am I Wrong?

Black riding Boots, Camo skinny, Gap, Quilted Leather, Vince Camuto

Is it wrong to be excited for colder weather? I am so ready for it, because I can finally wear my new coat! I got it at Marshall’s, $99, Vince Camuto. So much to love. The quilted faux leather sleeves, the zipper detail, the boxiness of it, raglan sleeves… LOVE. And let’s face it, when you live in a climate with many months of cold weather, your coat is as important as any outfit. Sometimes that’s all anyone sees! Today, I’m wearing it with a black wool beret. I totally forgot I had it until I went digging last week. Fall hat problem solved. I also found an ivory one and a little black cloche hat. So cute.

These Camo Skinnys are another one of my favorite pairs of pants. They are neutral without being ho-hum. These are no longer available but a quick search and I found plenty of options! I bought them last year from Gap because one of my fav bloggers (and the first blogger I ever started following) inspired me to buy them. If you are looking to add to your blogger list, I highly recommend What I Wore. The shirt is an old one I bought at TJ Maxx, probably 4 years ago, but a striped shirt isn’t too hard to find these days. Black riding boots are Anne Klein.

Can you tell I am desperate for a new place to take my pictures? I am on the hunt!
