As promised, today’s outfit features leopard spots and a double dose of polka dots.  After eyeing this coat for ages, I finally pounced when I saw it go on super duper discount for just $19.  Three cheers for the Old Navy clearance rack!

Since this jacket is somewhat lightweight, I decided to go full-throttle with the winter accessories. My friends sometimes make fun of me for wearing mittens, but they really are soooo much warmer than gloves.  And because my pony puff refuses to be confined under a hat, I figured earmuffs and a good snood were in order.

At just $18 in the store, I couldn’t pass up this skirt… plus it has pockets!

I orginally thought I’d wear it with either a black turtleneck or a white blouse.  But then I realized I haven’t clashed done any pattern mixing in a while, so I went for my plaid flannel blouse (which is super warm and soft) to play up the green in my skirt.  Stay tuned for tomorrow’s outfit where I mix two kinds of spots (of the leopard and polka variety).

I was organizing my sock drawer (for fun… on a Saturday… ‘cuz I’m weird like that), when I unearthed these fishnet stockings.  This particular pair is double-layered, so there’s a solid sheer base with a fishnet overlay.  I love how they give the look of a bare leg, but with a bit more coverage and a dash of retro-sexy.  Now if only I could find a pair with a backseam, we’d be in business!

Since my hosiery had me feeling all ladylike, I decided to go full-on girly with a pink blazer and pink patent-leather maryjanes.  And presto! ladies and gentlemen, the perfect spring outfit… in January.
