inspired by: Fall to Winter

Alright guys, I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but y'all, winter's coming. 

Don't worry you're not alone in breaking into hysterical crying. 

Deep breaths.

(I know there might be a few of you, and let's hope a very few, who genuinely like winter for reasons other than shiny snow and hot chocolate. 

That's alright. 

I still love you. 

But I won't pretend to understand you.)

For the rest of us who enjoy the occasional ski trip and love snow on Christmas Eve and day, 

but understand that the rest of the year snow just makes driving scarier than it already is;

to those of us who recognize that hot chocolate can be drunk any old time,

and who dream of heated blankets and fireplaces and wool

(all at the same time, please,)

here's at least one reason to look forward to winter:

  

layers!

I put together an outfit to get you into the season-changing spirit, because in spite of daylight savings time, it's getting darker and colder in my neck of the woods.

1. Velvet Blazer, 2. Mustard Belt, 3.Chambray Shirt, 4. Grey Socks, 5. Heeled Loafers, 6.  Purple Corduroys, 7. Grey Sweater, 8. Mustard Gloves, 9. Navy Coat

Here are the deets:

the shoes are on super sale (please budget-fairy raise my shoe allowance!);

corduroy is warm, comforting, and winter worthy when it comes to covering up;

mustard yellow is awesome, transition it into your winter wardrobe too;

and last, I love a dressy coat that's as versatile as this one, or this one or this one.

So what do you think? 

Would you wear this?

What do you love, what do you hate? (Concerning this outfit; although if you're having a hard day feel free to share that too. I really do like getting to know you.)
