Last week, we had a nice cold spat, and the morning of this outfit, it was actually in the fifties!  I had to take advantage of the cold while I had it, and I’d been itching to try a new layering technique inspired by Lucky.

This was just the right amount of warmth for the morning.  I love the look of the scarf and cardi being belted together.  This day also gave me a chance to wear my knee high boots for the first time.  I wish we had more cold days in Florida.

Unfortunately, my place of work had the heater on full blast, and all this was way too warm for indoors.  Luckily, I devised a clever remix to make this outfit work. I wore the scarf as a shawl, and then belted it around the waist.  Chic and practical.

    I love this! I saw this idea in Lucky as well (and on the Academichic ladies) and wanted to try it but haven’t yet. It looks fabulous on you!

    What a perfect way to get a very close look but just removing a layer. You look great!

    Diana, I LOVE this outfit! The tights, the sweater, the belt– all so, so cute. You’ve definitely given me some inspiration– I’ve been feeling like I’ve hit a wall getting back into dressing for winter and this is so chic & fun!

    It is adorable that you call that cold. What a great color combination; I kind of want to eat it.
