…and I need some…bad. This post was inspired by an event I had to attend. A boat parade…on a boat. I wanted to be warm, stylish, comfortable, and stable since I would have my two little ones on board. So, no heels (rats!)
As I searched my closet high and low I realized that my sweater supply is seriously lacking. Many are California sweaters (i.e., loosely woven so the air penetrates, not really a sweater – just a knit, or warm until it drops below 68 degrees). In California we are still having warm days (75+) but the nights are pretty chilly (for us wimps – we admit it so please save your chuckles if you live in cooler climates.)
I muddled through the evening with my sad sweater choices, but the experience inspired me to create this look so I can help some of you in similar situations (and myself for a few upcoming holiday events.) The sweater hunt produced this beautiful tunic sweater in a rich burgundy. I vowed off jeans for this look (because its just so easy to turn to jeans) and found a great pair of skinny black pants by William Rast -- on sale! I think I must buy. Black riding boots are a perfect way to go flat and comfortable while still stylish. A baubly silver bracelet (a steal from Free People at under $20) completes the look, just add hot cocoa or spiced cider (and a coat if you are in “real” weather).
I am obsessed with tunic sweaters now, so here are a few more options…
And, for those who just can’t go flat…
