OOTD: The Immediacy of Tartan

Outfit Details
Top: H&M
Cardigan: Anthropologie Wind and Whirl Cardigan
Bottom: J Crew City mini in Dublin tartan
Shoes: Anthropologie primped and pebbled boots
Socks: Happy Socks

Sometimes I can't wait to wear something after I buy it.  This amazing Tartan skirt is one of those things.  I picked it up during the J Crew 40% final sale time in January and it reminds me of Catholic grade school times. And with all the colors in the plaid, it's incredibly versatile -- and made of wool to keep you warm to boot!  I had to take a picture of it before the day end, but the sun had gone down, so sad phone pictures in the fitting room it had to be.  Sorry about that!

OOTD: Of Bodycon and Chambray

I have to say, I never really thought of wearing my bodycon skirt as part of a casual outfit until Pinterest.  And now I really can't get enough!  This skirt is just such a great way to showcase a figure flattering, looser top.  The original plan was to wear neutral booties with this outfit, but it rained.  I can't say I was too disappointed to wear my Burberry rain boots though!
