Below is the inspiration for this outfit, found of course on Pinterest.

 

 

I had almost forgotten about this cardigan. It belonged to my mother  years ago, so it's fair to say it's vintage. I used to wear it a good bit about ten years ago, but haven't in a while. It's one of those pieces that I've never considered tossing because it has maintained and still in good shape. When I saw the inspiration photo, I was reminded of it. I needed a good warm outfit to wear Friday, so out came the cardigan. And I said to myself, on look , it's marled... right on trend. LOL

I don't normally consider my outerwear as part of an outfit. Once in a while, a light jacket will be part of an outfit, like a denim jacket or utility jacket, but when it comes to staying warm, the outer piece isn't necessarily part of the outfit. With that said, since it has been so cold lately, I thought I'd throw in a shot of my coat. I do choose a neutral color for a coat that will coordinate with most anything. What are your thoughts on outerwear?

 

The outfit  consists of these maroon pants that I've shown a couple of times before. Here are two other ways I've worn them:

 

 

I also made the necklace I'm wearing. Details HERE on my craft blog.

It rained all day Tuesday, forcing me to take pictures indoors. This is the Target skirt that I was swayed by social media to buy. I first styled it here. It really does have lots more options and I should have worn it again before now. But if I don't wear it again this season, it will get lots of wear in the fall and next winter.  Sometimes I do that. I tend to wear a new item more the next season than when I first buy it. Do you have any quirky clothing habits?

The contents of this post are not graphic. It's just the graphic bird sweater again. A different kind of graphic. This time I paired it with pink pinstripes. The shirt did not make for the best layering piece but I got by.

After a week of pinks and reds, this is what I actually wore on Valentine's Day. It started with a trip to the doctor at the immediate care for a cold/sinus infection. This is the third one in three months so I was not dragging around two weeks trying to fight this off on my own. I caved and got some antibiotics. I quickly shed the scarf too because it wasn't really cold that afternoon, but if I needed to bundle up, this would get the job done.

I created this outfit from scratch, no pinterest or magazine inspiration involved. I started with the cardigan and pulled out the scarf and decided all I needed were some basics like a pencil skirt and white blouse. Done. Since it was cool, I wore boots, but if it were a bit warmer the same outfit could be created with heels or cute flats. I wasn't thinking about Valentine's Day when I put this together but noticed for the first time that this scarf has hearts on it. I received it as a gift last summer and thus far have only noticed the butterflies. Duh. I should pay more attention to patterns.

 

I previously showcased four other ways I've worn this cardigan HERE.

It's finally Friday!!! This isn't my Friday outfit. I'll be out of the office today and wearing something more casual, but I'm still glad it's Friday.

 

This blazer is pretty close to marsala, the new color of the year, although I think marsala has more brown tones. Whatever you call it, I love this color paired with navy.
