27 Feb Cozy Boots and an Embellished Sweater
TGIF Ladies!
Well, the Blizzard of ’15 hit here in Charlotte and we got 3 inches! I am not kidding, this is serious! Schools and businesses close down. What doesn’t is my ability to present you with a cozy winter look for the day!
My dog’s eyes filled with wonder much like the kindergarten kids I used to teach the first time we had snow! What was that white stuff. I remember Truffles, when we went to visit my mom in Pittsburgh one year. There must have been 12 inches on the ground, and besides not being able to find a patch of grass to go,she went inside and found mom’s green carpeting…problem solved! Now, Gibson doesn’t have that problem,but they do get excited to get their little coats on when they have to go outside. Much like their mamma!
It was cold out there, so I decided to wear my tweed black and marroon flirty skirt, with leather detailing for the pockets. I paired it with a grey cardigan with embellishment of silver beads, which I loved as it made it look vintage and really added to the cardigan itself. Having about 4 wool coats in Charlotte is plenty, ( this is not counting the leather jackets I own) but a light winter coat is really all that is needed, so I wanted to wear my black pea coat with this styling. Lastly, my Born burgundy fur lined winter leather boots were what I needed to complete the outfit and keep my tooties totally warm! Adding my vintage earrings from Etsy, added to my vintage-inspired look.
I am not a cold weather person at all, but I will say, especially when seeing other’s blog posts, the snow does make for pretty pictures.
Have a Wonderful Weekend!

Posted at 14:30h, 02 MarchI used to live in New England and have most of my life over 33 years in Massachusetts. I now live in Florida and seeing the snow now makes me kinda miss it. I miss that wintery feel if you know what I mean. That brisk of cold air that hits your face when you go outside. Ahhhhh your post brought me home! As far as your outfit goes I looove the skirt and boots. The skirt is beautiful and love the colors that are running through it. The boots are really neat addition to your outfit. Your outfit together looks awesome! You sure know how to rock it.
Jess Jannenga
Posted at 15:06h, 02 MarchThank you so much for your thoughful post. New England looks very pretty, i have never been there. I used to live in Pittsburgh PA so I was used to snow, I love the look of it, just not the cold, so I am in Charlotte. Glad you enjoyed my post, and the outfit. I love textures and tweed. Glad you like my warm boots too! stop by anytime!

Posted at 13:45h, 02 MarchThat sweater is so adorable, I need that in my life! Would love it even more in a delicate cream color I think, although you’re rockin the grey (I just personally have too many grey sweaters in my closet right now!) Thanks for sharing!
Jess Jannenga
Posted at 13:52h, 02 MarchThanks for stopping by, come by anytime. I can see this would look lovely in cream as well, I have a number of cream,so grey was in order.Glad you like the outfit!

Posted at 01:34h, 02 Marchoh wow your whole outfit looks really great. I love all the colors of the whole thing, red and black is one of my favorite mixture of clothes and shoes. These boots look super cozy, it would be nice with all the snow we have gotten lately.
Jess Jannenga
Posted at 10:32h, 02 MarchThank you Natalie,
I appreciate your lovely comments! I am a big fan of tweed, and Born has great boots, these are great even with the bit of snow we got.

Posted at 21:22h, 01 MarchOh my! I can’t believe you got that much snow in Charlotte! Yikes! I agree. It does make for pretty photos. I absolutely love the tweed skirt and how you paired it with those awesome boots. The sweater and coat are perfect to top it off – love the entire outfit! 🙂
Jess Jannenga
Posted at 10:05h, 02 MarchThank you Nancy! I joke, as Charlotte doesn’t get much and when we do get a few inches the news is all over it. Glad you ike the outfit. Please stop by again, or follow, I will stop by your blog as well, as I could sure use some tips as well! 🙂

Posted at 20:40h, 28 Februarythank you Elle, I love this skirt too, it is sturdy and warm, and I love tweed, not to mention details. I do like snow to look at.. but this was enough. Yes, they have fun in it, but my girl is a little prima donna, she gets cold.s o has to go in and lay on the big heating pad we bought her!. Thank you dear friend. you too, xo
Jessica Beal Harlow
Posted at 18:00h, 28 FebruaryI absolutely love your outfit! That skirt looks warm but still fun…not the drudges of heavy, colorless clothes that I suffer in northern New England with miserable winter weather! I love those fur lined winter leather boots too. They are a great color and a must have where I live!
Jess Jannenga
Posted at 20:38h, 28 FebruaryThank you Jessica, it is a fun skirt, I like the flirty shortness of it and the tweed. Thank you. Glad you like the boots too, I suppose I cant complain, I dont live in New England and get the snow you do. Enjoy the week, and stop by anytime! xx

Posted at 11:58h, 28 FebruaryI’m not a winter person, but I’m sure that Charlotte looks pretty with a few inches of snow. Hopefully it will melt soon. Until then, the snow is a great excuse for you to wear your wool coats and those cosy boots.
Jess Jannenga
Posted at 12:10h, 28 FebruaryThank you! I am not a winter person either! I do like the “look” of snow, just not how cold it can be. Glad you stopped by and glad you like my styled outfit. Stop by anytime!
