Today I am so excited to partner up with LILYSILK again for 5 chic looks that are perfect for fall and winter where I live. These looks are ideal for fall winter weather that doesn’t get too cold and each of these looks can also be layered up or down for colder or warmer weather to suit where you personally live. For me, fall and winter can range from the 70’s to 30’s and each of these outfits serve as perfect bases for adding or removing scarves, jackets, hats and boots.
The first piece I want to showcase is the WHITE CASHMERE TURTLENECK SWEATER. I LOVE turtlenecks and as soon as the weather gets chilly I wear them any chance I get. For me and my style preferences, they’re not only practical but also look so great with everything else in my wardrobe. I have them in a variety of colors and materials but cashmere is my favorite because it doesn’t irritate my skin and keeps me very warm but always breathable. I also love this one from LILYSILK because of the lighter color that’s in between an off white and pure white and helps to bring some brightness up to my face and lighten up my winter palette. This one runs big and I have it in the smallest size but it still gives that beautifully oversized fit that’s perfect for winter.
My favorite way to wear them is layered under a warm winter coat and paired with skinny pants or jeans and ankle boots. This is a combo I used to wear when I lived in NY and had to brave the snow and colder temperatures and it works just as well now for the more mild (but still cold) winters I have.
I also really love to wear this sweater with the same skinny black pants, cute flats and no jacket when it’s cool but not cold. This particular combination suits the majority of the fall and winter where I live perfectly and always feels so classic. It will always be a favorite.
The next piece I want to showcase is the BLUE RETRO STYLE SILK BLOUSE (runs big, I’m wearing an XS).
One of my style goals for last year and continuing into this year is to expand my wardrobe color palette and this blouse does that so beautifully. I love the rich blue color, high collar and beautiful silk that I think pairs so perfectly with jeans for a classic but relaxed look. This combination is perfect for fall where I live and can easily be layered up as the weather gets colder. You can see more styling ideas in my last partnership with LILYSILK where I put together 20 Chic Fall Outfits and I think it looks great with pants, jeans and skirts alike.
As my personal style journey has evolved, I’ve learned that I really love white shirts and have collected a variety of cuts, styles and materials that I can wear a variety of ways. The WHITE BOW TIE SILK SHIRT (runs big, I’m wearing an XS) is the most recent addition to my white shirt collection and I love it because the silky has a subtle sheen to it and it comes with a removable neck tie.
When I want to downplay how dressy it feels, I love to unbutton the top buttons, tie it at the waist and pair it with straight leg jeans and cute shoes. Much like the other outfits so far, this is perfect for the fall and winter weather where I live and can be layered up or down as the temperatures fluctuate.
Another thing that I’ve spent the last few months exploring more, is how I can incorporate light, floaty and ethereal touches into my wardrobe in order to harmonize with my face and elements of my essence. For me, one of the easiest ways to do this has been to choose chiffon and light silks and the SILK CHIFFON MIDI SKIRT (runs true to size, I’m wearing XS and Small) is perfect for this.
To incorporate some balance into the skirt, I love to pair it with a more structured top and boots, ankle boots, pumps or flats. For most of the year, flats and bare ankles are perfect but as it gets colder, ankle boots are just enough. If I was still living somewhere with colder winters, I would layer thick tights and tall boots under the skirt and pair it with a thick sweater and warm coat.
Another way I love to wear this skirt is to opt for the lighter color (it’s a gorgeous pinkish nude) and pair it with a lighter top and light shoes.
The airy palette works so well for fall and spring and still gives me structure and balance without ever feeling stuffy.
