Truth be told, it wasn't until I was driving in to work this morning that I realized that my outfit echoed the beauty of the wintry landscape that is all around in Virginia right now. There was a softness about the light in the sky, and the way that it pierced through the leaf-less trees and brown fields created an echo or longing within my heart today - that longing that is created after you have an experience of beauty - real beauty. I wish I had remembered to keep my camera near me at all times because it would have made for some pretty landscape shots, but the ones above do a good job of echoing somewhat that fleeting moment experienced this morning. It was a soft and peaceful feeling, which I hope is echoed somewhat in this outfit.
And I'm wearing flats again! I think that makes this a week straight for flats - which must be a new kind of record for me. I was thisclose to pairing this outfit with my nude heels, but then for some reason my Sperrys captured my attention and sent me down their flat-footed path, and once I started walking down it in my head, I couldn't leave. I think its because they have a pinch of blue in the pattern on the tongue and sides (sorry, I should have taken a detail shot), and then when I decided to go with my orange scarf, I really liked how the shoes with the orange on the side echoed the color on top.
I got the idea to do a fancy skirt with dressed down shirt from Mandy and Elaine - both went with this look in their own way this week. This navy blue skirt is really hard to style actually. I struggled with trying to figure out what tights to pair it with, but luckily the metallic silver tights came to the rescue.
And honestly - I don't know how well this outfit actually works. But, as the dearth of words above demonstrate, it wasn't done without some thought! :)
Happy Happy Friday to one and all! Here's to hoping for some warmer weather!

It's probably one of the coolest ways to wear denim shirt! No complains seeing flats from me, I like your flats very much :)
I definitely love this outfit, especially the skirt! I really need more work skirts, and I'm looking for inspiration. Thanks for the shout out ;P
I think it's adorable! I LOVE the Sperry's and totally agree that they and that scarf were meant for each other :)
Ooo I really like this scarf!
love this look!! especially that scarf and the pop of color it adds!
I love your style - very chic and cute. My favorite part is probably the scarf and the necklace - just adds a cute punch to the whole look.
I am so jealous of everyone's chunky knit scarves right now. I wish i had invested before it got cold. Love yours obviously.
Is that also a brocade skirt? I love it with the chambray and loafers. Great dressed up casual look!
Oh gorgeous! I just love your top <33
I LOVE the idea of echoing a season in your outfit, and I think this one does perfectly capture a sunny winter day, with the orange scarf reminding us of the warm rays of the sun. I love this!
the shape of the skirt is fantastic with that shirt--such a great silhouette!
Great outfit! Great colors!
