Finally a post that properly surmises the weather in most parts of the world given that it's now December and we're all breaking into our advent calendars with gusto. Depicted here is an outfit worn through the back woods of my old highschool where we'd have to take brisk morning runs through for PE class. Ah, youth. Obviously I wasn't running that day but given the terrain, my worn out boots were called for. The amount of cropped tops I own with absurdly long sleeves is getting a little out of hand but I can't seem to stop. This one I spotted while in NY during Fashion Week and it has proven to be a very useful staple. Seen here layered over what I can only describe as a fashionable take on a bulletproof bib that gave my stomach a little more coverage from the chilly winter air. This tweed boucle skirt has been in my closet for years although oddly enough this is the first time it has made a digital presence on my blog. And one last thing, a hurray to parents who had impeccable style & clothes to pass along to their offspring. Way to go.
