Hurricane Windy

Last night I stayed up way too late reading superstorm Sandy updates on Twitter and through various websites. I was also following the news about the Chicago lakefront and the 60 MPH winds we’re supposed to get today. The radio even specifically told women not to wear dresses or skirts today! I think they were joking but I totally understand why. It’s windy out there!
(Side note: Chicago is not called the Windy City solely because of the wind.)
As a result of staying up too late with my jaw hanging open I grabbed my trusty Pinterest inspiration board this morning for an outfit idea. This one grabbed my attention:
Turns out there’s a reason I like this look. I’ve worn it before! I try not to duplicate outfits on the blog but I knew it was bound to happen. So, here you get a taste of the same look with a few minor changes. Different pants, shoes, shirt, and accessories.
Also, lest you think it’s nice enough outside to commute to work sans jacket, here’s what I actually wore on my windy walk to the train.
Just imagine the jacket buttoned up and some black gloves on my hands and you’re got the picture.
I’m thankful that today all I have to deal with is wind. My thoughts go out to everyone in NYC, New Jersey, and other areas along the East Coast.

Nothing is classier to me than tweed and a pencil skirt.
A reader recently contacted me and asked for help with a pair of ankle boots she just bought.
Right now I’m pretty happy with my closet. But even so there are days when I stand there and stare at all the hangers and think, “I wish I had….”
I’ve had all of these clothing pieces in my closet for a long time. I keep wavering on whether or not to keep the cardigan and then it keeps staying. 
Pairing the fancy sequined skirt with a neutral colored cardigan and nude heels helps keep it from being too bling-y or overwhelming.
I like the two shades of blue together!
Does it give you ideas for your blue blazer?
Heh, I was doing the same thing last night, that storm has just been crazy and it’s amazing how far inland it’s being affecting.
I love your whole look, winter coat and scarf, it’s actually quite sleek looking which is so hard to do with all of the layers. (That blue blazer is stunning, it’s such a pretty shade of blue, very vibrant!)
You did a great job with your post on wearing layers in the cold! I think I’ll be taking some hints from you in the future
