Winter Blues

I guess I decided to break away from the "romantic vintage" look and do something a little more modern. I think black is a great way to start any outfit, if you have a solid black skirt, or blazer, or pair of pants, the rest of the outfit will just fall into place. I've had this black long sleeved shirt for some years now and its always around when I find myself in a style block. 

I paired it with a super chic belt and a very creatively patterned skirt I purchased at a thrift store. I was thinking of doing a summer shoot with it, but felt drawn to the colors this morning.

I'm actually wearing knee high boots with this outfit, it really made the look for me when I added them into my styling.

I also wore my new fuax fur vest that I bought at H&M a few weeks ago to give the look a more "winter" feel. I really love how the black of the fur blends in with my look, it's very classic and elegant, rather than in your face fur. 

The necklace and earrings are from Target and I'm simply in love with them. I said in a previous post about how I very rarely, if ever, go for jewelry that's bold and out there, that I'm typically more dawn to intimate accessories, but I think I'm finally getting to the point where I feel comfortable enough to wear "big jewelry"

Did I state how ready I am for Christmas? I really am, I can't wait to do more winter styles, there's simply so much you can do! And the layers!
