per(faux)rated




{skirt: Free People; sweater: Nasty Gal; booties: MICHAEL Michael Kors;
fedora: Urban Outfitters; sunglasses: Prada}

I bought this white skirt from Club Monaco a little while ago, which I loved, but it's wool and I was worried about the maintenance, so I sadly returned it.  So the search continued for a winter white skirt.  (I buy one every few years and the one I had desperately needed to be replaced.)  I was so happy I came across this one on the Free People site because it's faux leather and low maintenance.  It's perforated, which adds a cool texture.  It sits a bit high (on me) so either I have to tuck a top in, or pair it with something cropped.  My first thought was to tuck in a black sweater, but I was not feeling the tucked-in look (maybe it has something to do with the fact that I've been sick all week) so I went with this cozy Nasty Gal cropped turtleneck.  I was wishing I had a black cropped sweater, but I like how the grey softens up the look.  (However, I will be picking up this MINKPINK sweater for next time, just in case it doesn't feel like a tuck-in kind-of-day again.)

grey and cropped

I don't think it's possible to have too many sweaters.  Or maybe I just don't get sick of buying sweaters.  I think there are some sweaters that are necessary (I'm still trying to find the perfect black cable knit sweater) and some that are too fun to resist (for ex. I'm obsessed with this 'Naughty' one, but it has angora in it and I think I'm allergic).  I've been looking for grey sweaters (because I find them more interesting than black for a neutral) and cropped sweaters, so this grey cropped sweater was a no-brainer.  I pictured it paired with high-waisted flared jeans (but I have yet to find the perfect pair of those too).  For someone who shops a lot, it always surprises me when I'm looking for something in my closet and realizing I don't have it.  But I'm perfectly fine with having an excuse to shop.
