Winter Neutrals

December 14th, 2010

Lately I’ve been wearing a uniform that includes some sort of soft, cropped sweater, a long skirt and boots to toughen it all up. It’s more comfortable than jeans, more casual than a dress and great for those days when the temperature shifts between two extremes.  These are as close to perfection as I’ve seen, and for just over $100, they’re going to be on major rotation throughout the rest of winter.  They’d look equally as chic with a pair of cuffed skinny jeans, opaque black tights and a short leather skirt.

1. Topshop Silver Lurex Pleated Midi Skirt $90
2. Acne Nelli Long Pleat Skirt $450
3. Topshop Pleated Maxi Skirt $90
4. Miss Selfridge Multi Stitch Bobble Jacket $63
5. Topshop Knitted Slouchy Stitch Jumper $80
6. ADAM Cable-knit Wool-blend Sweater $227.50
7. Steven Alan Boatneck Sweater $248
8. Forever 21 Woollen Collar Heeled Boots $35.80
9. Steve Madden Biing $89.95
10. Nine West Donley $103.16

    H&M had a skirt that’s almost identical to the Topshop one, in case you’re looking :)
