With one of the first winter chills making its' way to Miami, I was eager to bring out these tall boots and coat. Of course, my coat is 3/4 sleeves, and the blouse I'm wearing in these pictures is basically sheer, but that's how we do it here!
I also thought it was a great time to run a new giveaway from Stella & Dot. You may not know this, but S&D has branched out into the scarf, wallet and handbag market. This scarf was provided to me by S&D for this giveaway and I couldn't be happier; it's so cute, with its tropical parrot print and vibrant colors.
These boots were part of my Kansas vacation prep, got them on 6PM.com, a really affordable website that I normally use for work shoes, (since I plow through a pair every three months). I usually stick to buying Nine West pumps from their site, but I saw these boots and thought that the price couldn't be beat. Of course, I would love a pair of gorgeous Tory Burch boots, with gold hardware (hint, hint), but for the price of half of one TB boot, I bought two pairs!

My boyfriend and The Fashionable ESQ's VP takes all of my photos. I recently linked him to this blog post from the blog Not Dressed Like Lamb (check her out, she's creative and has a ton of personality that translates into her photos) for photo tips on how to shoot photos in sunlight. The article was very helpful, albeit, lengthy, but definitely filled with great tips if you want to improve the look and feel of your pictures. I loved how he was able to capture the light behind me in these shots.

| Wearing this gold cuff by Kenneth Cole that I got from Piperlime, I love chunky and bold jewelry. |
Lately I've been mixing brown and black, and I'm slowly getting used to the idea. I used to never combine these colors before, mostly because I barely owned anything brown, but now I've been branching out - and I like the color palette of this outfit a lot. What do you guys think?

My favorite way to accessorize a Winter outfit is definitely with statement pieces. These pieces of jewelry help to bring attention to any layered look for Winter or to give an dull Winter outfit that fresh pop of color and boldness.
ReplyDeleteI love black and brown together, and your comfy casual winter look. The hat is the perfect accessory.

I love your floppy hat! And the scarf is so appropriate for Miami. Thanks for sharing that article with us. I found this one back when I started my blog in July. There's a part I and a part II. It was a pretty popular series. Also pretty lengthy, but very informative.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I literally LOL'ed at your "meri creesma" comment!! I hope you had a great Christmas, and I wish you a very happy new year. :)

ReplyDeleteVery pretty scarf. Can't imagine it cold in Miami, but when I was a kid I lived in the Northern Pan Handle and I recall the winters being in the 50s and raining.

I love layering! For warmth, but also for cuteness! I adore anything cashmere from sweaters to hats to scarves, etc. so that's usually in the mix. I often wear boots with slim pants and one pair is over the knee! I make fabric flowers and often pin one to a sweater, hat, or necklace - it lightens up a whole look!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for offering such a lovely giveaway. My favorite way to accessorize a winter outfit is with fun vintage pieces. I love a cute cloche, perfectly worn leather bag and campus boots.
ReplyDeleteclogzilla(at)yahoo(dot)com
Gorgeous look. That dress is so pretty on you!!!
ReplyDeleteProbably boots -- but, since it doesn't get too cold here, I rarely need to wear "winter accessories," the extent of my accessories is usually with jewelry.
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit and that hat! Hopefully I am lucky enough to win that scarf :) :)
