Closet Confection: Brown Check Skirt + Cream Cableknit Sweater

Growing up, no one ever mistook me for a tomboy.  Nevertheless, I do like to occasionally dabble in menswear-inspired fashion.  Take this skirt, for instance.  It’s made from the loveliest mini-check tweed and reminds me a little of one of my husband’s blazers.  I was eyeing it for over a month when I finally scooped it up at my local J. Crew for almost half off the original price.  After that, it was a no-brainer for me to pair it with soft angora-blend sweater and sleek ankle boots.

Closet Confection: Black & White Houndstooth

Cozy sweater dresses like this are a mainstay in my closet this time of year.  They’re just so easy to toss on with boots and pair of tights. And if you find the right style, they work just as great for the office as they do for a dinner date or brunch with friends.  The bold graphic print and shawl neck collar are what sold me on this one.

In other news, I’ve been slowly rebuilding my jewelry collection after my fiasco with the movers earlier this fall.  I can’t even tell you how excited I was when my nameplate necklace finally arrived.  I was surprised at how much I missed having this little guy around my neck.  Hopefully, Santa will be kind this year and send me a replacement for my diamond pendant.  A girl can dream, can’t she?
