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!

When I have a "nothing to wear for a casual day and I'm in a rush," I opt for a basic black outfit. I actually wore this under my coat in the previous post but I decided to break it into two blog posts! These black suede over the knee boots have been on repeat all season long; they go perfectly with everything (skirts, shorts and dresses)! I added my favorite brown faux fur stole on top of my outfit to keep my neck warm. I think it works well here, don't you? When I wear all black, I like adding a hint of color - silver, gold or a dash of grey. All of these items were featured on my blog before but now it's compiled into a single monochrome outfit. I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day and long weekend to my American readers! Until next time!
