Well, winter held off until December 1. Since then, it has been flat-out cold in DC, with flurries predicted today! It's time to break out the layers and start bundling up.
On Saturday, John Paul and I spent our day out and about: saw Black Swan, Christmas shopped, painted pottery in Alexandria with Summer and Luke for her birthday (so fun!), decorated our home for the holiday, and went to dinner at Eola (I could write an entire entry about my wild boar ragout and pork belly croquettes). Needless to say, this outfit had to work for outdoors and indoors, as well as be willing to put up with some paint and walking.
These heels are nice and chunky, so wearing them all day wasn't a problem. Ribbed thigh-high socks are a great alternative to tights; they're not itchy and breathe a bit more. The coat stayed on for outdoors, while the cardigan could be taken off in the warm painting studio. I like the pops of red to bring in some color!
Didn't you feel a cold draft with those thigh highs on? xoxox M
ReplyDeleteThose thigh highs are superwarm, and the top was mostly covered up by the skirt. It wasn't too bad!
