smart fashion for the ambitious woman
The weather has been utterly insane this week, at least for those of us on the East coast. Monday was brutal and freezing, Wednesday was 50 and mild. Wardrobe logisitcs are just one of the many challenges, along with not getting frostburn on all my extremities. I once read that Scott Schuman (The Sartorialist and god of all fashion/street style bloggers, for the uninitiated) said that even though he bundles up for those cold NYC winters, he never really covers up his ankle or stops rolling his jeans because his ankles don't get cold. Well, except in the most extreme circumstances, I tend to agree. So, to brave this indecisive weather, I stick with ankle pants all through the winter while adding sweaters and my other go-to pieces of the season. P.S. I should also say that, while I make an effort to swap out cheapies for investment pieces as I get older, some things I stand by. Case in point: H&M will always have the best sweaters, IMHO. I bought two of this divinely chunky cozy turtleneck and I have not stopped wearing them. Stay warm y'all! P.P.S. A disclaimer about these pants: If I wear something on my blog, it's an implicit endorsement of the thing. It means I love the garment, it fits, and I think it's well made/ good value for money. However, in this case, I put a caution on these pants. I'll be blunt: the fit in the crotch is weird. I only discovered this after ordering 3 pairs on mega clearance and hence, final sale. The print is great, and they're fun, but you've been warned. Maybe it's just me with my oddly short legs and long torso. I don't know. Just sayin' Photos by Emma McAlary @ www.emcalaryphoto.com
Outfit Details: Shoes, bag, and bracelets, see My Staples Trousers: Old Navy (no grid print at the moment, but I also have a pair in the leopard print that's available. The fit on those also seems to be a bit better, for some reason.) Sweater: H&M (nearly sold out) Coat: ASOS (old, but they still have tons of great outwear and a few piece similar to this)
