I wore this a few weeks ago, but with the red plaid, it could easily be a holiday outfit. There are a ton of ways to style a vest, even a plaid one, so I'm looking forward to playing around with the vest again.  Vests are also a great option if you have milder winters like we do. And they make great gifts!

I think that leggings, a striped tee or turtleneck, and a chambray shirt are all basic pieces that everyone should have in their closet. By now, a utility jacket is pretty much a basic piece too. These pieces can be worn in lots of ways, and when it's super cold, you can layer them all together in one outfit like I did. We went to do a photo shoot Saturday (indoors thankfully) but I had to get to and from it in temps that only went to 38 for the day and 23 mile per hour winds. The hair wasn't going to make it and we were shooting in a gym that I thought might be cold and drafty, so a beanie was in order.
 
I love the little peek of stripes from under the chambray.

Undecided. That's not a good way to start a new year. Most people are full of decisions, goals,  resolutions, etc, yet here I am starting off by saying I'm undecided. You see, I'm very  undecided about this outfit. The one thing I'm sure of is the new Chelsea boots. I eyed them for a while all over the net and then decided I wanted a pair, so these were part of my Christmas gift from my husband. These are so comfortable. Styling them in a way that looks best on me may be a bit of a challenge.
 
I love that this outfit is composed of all basics that most everyone should have in their closet- a black skirt, grey tee, and denim jacket. I've seen looks like this on others, to include the skirts with the Chelsea boots, but my first impression upon seeing these photos was that I look a bit like a bag lady. Maybe the skirt isn't the right length. Maybe I'd like the skirt/boots look better with some tights ( but mother nature isn't cooperating for me to wear tights). I just don't know. Sometimes you just can't put your finger on what needs to be tweeked. So... I welcome your comments and suggestions.
 
I hope you have a Happy and Prosperous New Year!
