what to wear: staying warm at work

On a cold weekend day, you got the jeans and boots look mastered. But what do you wear when you’re headed to work while it’s still cold out?  Here’s a look that keeps you warm as well as creates a polished and sophisticated impression.

A cashmere shawl-collar cardigan in natural creates a clean and minimal look when paired with a neutral brown side-ruched pencil skirt. Wear an ivory or light brown knit shell underneath.  Keep your toes warm with some brown herringbone tights and a chocolate suede bootie by Taryn Rose. Taryn Rose shoes are designed by a former foot doctor and are extremely comfortable.  At this price, these won’t last long because this shoe looks great paired with a skirt or with pants.

To balance out the brown at the bottom of your outfit, wear a wooden bauble necklace.  Wooden jewelry adds a unique twist and since wood jewelry is still popular for Fall, it’ll be a nice investment for your wardrobe.

Tote your laptop and files in this brown/pink L.A.M.B. tote. And, if you don’t have a warm wool coat, make sure to get one now while there are still some left on sale.

Update: I just got back in from my trip to NY where I went to the contemporary designer fashion show as well as met with several of my clients for consultations and shopping.  My wireless was spotty so that is why there was no posts on Tues or Wed.   But, I did discover some cool new designers and I’m looking forward to sharing with you my finds over the next few weeks.
