Covering two weeks of outfits from my deep winter capsule in one post. Warning: photo heavy!

1-3: navy skirt leggings, black long-sleeve tee, black long cardi, black ankle boots.

One of the things I was aiming for during this week was exploring more possibilities for that signature blue and burgundy color combination. Here’s one with a double scarf, my vintage teacup-print scarf, and new-to-me blue bird-print.

4-5: black ponte leggings, black popover tunic, burgundy long cardi, black patent tassel loafers

Another burgundy-blue combo, with the sweater and scarf. After wearing my gray jeans with black loafers last week, wanted to see if I could wear them with my ponte leggings as well. I have never worn these pants with anything other than boots before!!! But I like it. I wear nude knee-highs for warmth but even so it’s only a look I can sport on mild days.

6-7: medium skinny jeans, white pin tuck popover, camel cardi, tan heeled oxfords

Now I was on a roll seeing what other unexpected footwear I could pull off…if I can wear skinny pants with my loafers, can I do so with my heeled oxfords as well? (Can you tell this is the part of the winter when I’m bored to death of boots?) I think this is reasonably successful, though I prefer the heels with dresses/skirts.

8-10: black knit straight skirt, gray floral sweatshirt, black patent tassel loafers.

Here’s my version of Angie’s pencil skirt + sweatshirt formula. (I don’t have a true pencil skirt, but this merino knit skirt is pretty straight and form-fitting.) I love this and would never have thought of it on my own! I’m having a minor 90s flashback due to the chunky-soled loafers…but I think I am pulling off the look. What say you all?

11-12: gray skinnies, white tuxedo pleat popover, black jacket-y cardi, cognac tall boots

Hmm, I remember feeling like I didn’t like the proportions of the tunic and cardi together but It seems fine in the photo.

13-14: black ponte leggings, gray/white stripe popover, burgundy long cardi, gray tall boots.

Nothing special here.

15-17: medium skinny jeans, white tuxedo button-up, gray jacket-y cardi, cognac tall boots.

This was my Valentine’s Day outfit. Please appreciate the visual pun I have concocted with a brooch that once belonged to my husband’s Grammy: wearing my heart on my sleeve.

18-19: gray skinny jeans, black long-sleeve tee, medium-blue cardi, teacup scarf

I didn’t love the proportions of this outfit, I felt bulky on the bottom and exposed on the top.

20: Outerwear shot.

Including this because I want to show off my new burgundy scarf! It’s made from an old cardi whose elbows wore out. I was sick of the open waterfall style too but I thought maybe the waterfall part would work as a scarf. I am digging it!
