My go to look when I have to go outside (for anything now 😬#COVIDStyle) is something casual with a hint of street to produce that urban vibe. I love how roomy this dress is and it honestly works well alone but since it was a tad bit chilly, I decided to spice it up with layers and depth. These Leather Michael Kors Combat Boots were the first thing I added and they're one of the most versatile shoes I own. Played up or down, you cannot go wrong with with lace up boots! Next up was my long grey cardigan and then my grey UCSD beanie! I kept with the grunge vibe by pairing this outfit with my black 3.1 Phillip Lim Medium Pashli! Is this something you'd wear?

A simple little accessory... along with keeping you warm and toasty, this stole is a versatile piece that can be layered on top of coats, sweaters and anything else that may come to mind. I treated this as if it were a scarf so instead of leaving this stole hanging around my neck, I decided to belt it up! I've been very fond of the "belting up scarf" look ever since high school and that feeling was only heightened when Burberry showcased this look during their Fall / Winter 2014 Fashion Show. Instead of leaving the belt buckle exposed in front, I rotated it 180 degrees to the back - just a matter of preference.
To continue the color scheme, I wore a slouchy cashmere sweater from J. Crew. It's the comfiest thing ever but boy does it wrinkle; good thing the stole covers up all those pesky wrinkles! I paired this outfit with my Zara skinny leather trim black pants and OTK suede boots by Ivanka Trump! These are no longer available but I've linked similar ones below. What do I love about OTK boots? They work well with pretty much everything! Besides, they're appropriate for work, school, and casual outings! Until next time!
