Plaid Scarf and OTK Boots

Simplicity is necessary these days.

Yesterday I was all embrace winter! It’s the BEST!  While I galloped around the living room throwing fake snow confetti (okay, that didn’t actually happen but only because that would be a bitch to clean up afterward).   Today, is a bit of a different story.  First of all, it’s freaking cold again (by West Coast standards) and I’ve been in pj’s all day long and pretty much haven’t looked away from my computer screen.  Probably done legit damage to my eyes in the last 12 hours.  It’s amazing how quickly things change.  Good ol’ winter.  I’m setting myself up for success tomorrow though, already signed up for a yoga class in the morning and made afternoon plans so I’m not cooped up for another day!

In terms of this look, I have to say that I just adore those pieces that make something like a basic winter coat and boots a bit punchier.  This plaid scarf was an impulse Zara purchase last winter and when I took it to Europe with me in November it was such a standout layering piece.  I also go nuts for over the knee boots, especially in a cognac colour like this.  One of my favourite discoveries to date was that American shoe stores often carry wide calf versions of boots.  All the pieces from this classic combo are older, but I’ve linked to similar styles below!

I better go now, I have some finishing touches on tomorrow’s blog post (it’s a goodie, you won’t want to miss it), as well as two more episodes of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel to watch.  Amy Sherman Palladino always takes priority.  Hope you guys all had a wonderful day!  If you got out of your pyjamas, then your day was far more successful than mine 😉
