Sweater Weather

Cropped cable-knit sweater with mockneck, Sheinside. Spray on skinnies in charcoal corduroy, Blank NYC. Woven scarf, Sole Society. Tan wool hat, H&M. Double-zipped ankle boots, Steve Madden. Large bucket bag in Cammello, Mansur Gavriel. Gorjana twist cuff, rental from Rocksbox. Metro watch, Kate Spade.

The temperature's been dropping and though I tend to hate the cold, I'm actually pretty thrilled about it. After a non-existent winter last year and another overly-long summer, it's so refreshing to experience a bit of a chill. Although 50 degree days may seem warm to most of the country, I've been wearing scarves and ankle boots nearly every day, which in my mind justifies the purchase of some new ones. I loved the tones in this textured scarf from Sole Society and knew it would be the perfect bit of color to add to my outfits. I really love how it tied this otherwise neutral-colored look together. The overall effect is warm and earthy.

And I'm realizing that when it comes to black ankle boots, you really can't have enough too many. Is there any other shoe style that is so versatile? I mean, how much have I worn the pair in my last post? Those have got to be at least three years old. Maybe more. So when I found this pair I loved from Steve Madden, I was quick to bite the bullet. So happy, because they're quickly becoming my favorite!

I also recently started a subscription to Rocksbox, which is basically like a Netflix for jewelry. For $19 a month, a stylist personally puts together a little box of jewelry for you based on your preferences, and you can send the box back as soon as you're ready for a new set. It's a great way to experiment with pieces of jewelry without making a big commitment. If you like the pieces, you can purchase them at 20% off! I received this twisted Gorjana cuff in my first box, which I've been eyeing for a while. After trying it on, I'm a bit disappointed with how large it fits on my wrist, but I'm definitely excited to see what will come in my next box!


Anyway, I hope everyone has a happy, fun, safe, and beautiful new year! See you back here in 2015! ^_~
