The Tweed Tango

Hello fashionistas, I hope that you had a wonderful week. I have been having slight internet woes, and I am slowly catching up with e-mails and posts pretty much all weekend. Did you go shopping and grab any holiday deals yet? I managed to get the bulk of my shopping done online earlier this past week, but still have a portion left to do. 

Over the past month, I have attempted to go through some old clothing and shoes for donating. Finally, the task has been completed, however some pieces needed to be kept of course, because there are many items that are just classic.

During the exercise of my vogue perusing moments I came across one of my favourite tweed hats—it’s a menswear Kangol hat that I haven’t worn in some time. I’ve always adored tweed and textures in general, so it was the perfect reason for me to also bring out my matching skirt that I designed years ago. It’s such a simple skirt that has been through countless moves, fashion shoots, shows, and meetings. It’s significant to me because it’s one of my first skirts that I made in design school, so how could I get rid of it?

As for the outfit, I wore this to an after-work dinner. I imagine, the best way to brave the cold climate in style (if possible) for me is to bring out the leather gloves, tweed, and vintage fur. Yes, these elements speak to me, but it's even better with bits of luster from a patent piece or two thrown into the fashion concoction. 

So tell me, how do you kick it up a notch when it’s a bitter chill outside?
