Ahh! This time of year is always busy with the start of the holiday season, but especially now because I’m styling so much. I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve done an outfit post and I thought this would be perfect for kicking off the more wintery weather we’ve been having.
Living in the foothills this time of year is always a plus with cooler temps, so I’m embracing my warmer pieces! And somedays, I just want cozy, but need functional, yet I love upping the simple factor a bit to keep my outfits chic and interesting. With errands, style appointments, chauffeuring my daughter to activities, and Christmas shopping it’s important to stay comfortable and stylish.
I think it goes without saying, but whenever it’s a bit gloomy, I tend to grab for my drabber clothing… maybe it’s habit, but I think I tend to choose pieces that are just comfy and easy to throw on.
I’ve been waiting to wear this scarf EVERYWHERE and the shoes have been a go-to lately.
Style Note: An all black palette {or neutral/solid colors} makes mixing and matching super easy. When teaching my clients to print/pattern mix, I use a basic approach… first, you want your color palette to match, not your prints {neutrals like my black color palette here are the easiest to begin with, but more often than not, if your colors look good together, then you’re prints will too}, next, keeping the prints simple and more graphic makes your mixing easier {I chose this double sided houndstooth and plaid scarf along with the camo print flat because they’re pretty simple}, then you want to spread your prints out across your outfit {this was pretty easy since my graphic pieces were around my neck and on my feet!}. Finally, you want to break up the look with solids {again, my black tee and jeans made this easy}.
