The Style Files : Stripes & A Pop of Color

It's been a while since I have posted an outfit of the day, and also since I have posted. Today I attempted to capture my outfit as I put it together and there it on. Things have been and will be CRAZY in my life in the coming weeks so I will attempt to post whenever I am able to. :)

The Basics

Any cute outfit begins with the basics; a dress, a top, slacks, a skirt, shorts etc. In this case my basics were black leggings and one of my favorite striped sweaters. 

I added my Persimmon colored cashmere scarf for a pop of color and to accent my stripes. There's something about stripes and bright colors that I just love! 

To top it all off I wore my Burberry raincoat. I bought this jacket a few months ago and it has become a wardrobe staple. It's a great length, not too long - not too short,  & it  can easily be dressed up or down. I The quilted pattern, over sized pockets & toggle closures are details I adore.  

Accessories

I consider shoes to be accessories as the ways in which they are able to transform and or compliment an outfit are nearly limitless.  Color, shape, style & texture are just a few of the assets shoes contribute to an ensemble. 

While our weather has been sunny and warm for the last few days today it became cold and rainy and so I brought out my quilted boots. These are great because not only do they contribute a little texture to any outfit but they comfy,  cute & warm. 

I've been in more of a boho chic mood as of late and so I layered my favorite watch & bracelets. My sister recently gave me the pink Kate Spade bracelet, not only do I love it but it also goes really well with my green beads :) 

I tend to change handbags pretty frequently and a few days ago I pulled out my Celine bag, I've been using it ever since.
