What to Wear: Cold October

It’s hard to believe it was in the 80’s just a few days ago. The weather here in the city has taken a dramatic turn for the cold. It’s time to start thinking about layers, tights and boots again. Here’s one outfit that would work:

• Long Sleeved Tee – Almost works like long underwear underneath a thick sweater.
• Wool Skirt – This skirt has an unusual amount of flair.
• Sweater – Hooray for whoever writes Boden’s marketing copy. “Imagine yourself on a beach in mid-winter” totally sold me on this chunky cardigan.
• Purse – It’s my white Michael Kors bag with a red poppy pinned to it for a little color.
• Boots – From J. Crew and paired with festive red socks.
• Headband – With a buckle from Nordstrom.

This color scheme is inspired by my recent fascination with art nouveau designs. Stay warm out there today!
