Day 18: Beige and Earth Tones

When the weather gets cold, I always seem to put up a protest. I start looking at my summer dresses, wishing there was some way I could work them into my winter wardrobe. This dress is a semi-sheer, embroidered little thing, but when layered over the right under-dress, it hardly looks as summery as it should.

A Classic, One-Button Waistcoat

 

Neutrals and browns are colors that I'm always trying to add to my closet because they go so well with denim. Today I wanted to maintain a well edited look that was inspired by fit and proportion, but was still comfortable. The waistcoat, with it's chocolate colored piping and single button closure, is slimming at the waistline and a favorite classic staple. The tall brown boots tie the color scheme together and add a fun sort of riding element to the overall look. As you can tell, I didn't have to sacrifice any mobility whatsoever!
