Style: December ’10

This is a pretty typical winter outfit for me. A sweater (this maternity sweater rocks, by the way), a colorful skirt with tights, knee-high boots, and big statement necklace. I’d add a cool roomy bag and an interesting ring too.

p.s. Frye boots? Expensive but worth it. I bought a pair last year and they are going to last forever.

p.p.s. I wanted to use this locket, but the shop is closed for vacation and I wasn’t sure if they’d have them in stock again when they reopen. Wouldn’t it look great with this outfit though?

    I actually purchased those exact same Frye boots about three weeks ago and LOVE them. I wore them on our trip to Germany and they are super comfy. Totally worth the investment.

    This is a cute outfit. I may recreate it this week. :)

    I have to agree about the Frye boots. I bought a pair this fall and the quality is wonderful and I have no doubt I will have them for years and years.

    My husband got me the locket for Christmas (I’m just impatiently waiting it’s arrival!!) Merry Christmas!

    I desperately wanted that locket, too, but I felt shy ordering it for myself! I don’t think my guys-guy of a husband would think to order it for me. :p

    I totally agree about the Frye boots. I bought that exact pair (in brown) a few years ago and they will truly last me forever!

    What a great look! I’m so frumpy, I wear sweatshirts and jeans mostly in the winter. I need to get with it! But yes, that closed shop with the locket–holy cow, gorgeous.

    I’ve been wanting some Frye boots, but they are just not in the budget right now!
    Great outfit – stylish and comfy!

    OK, well I picked that feather duster necklace in an attempt to not show something that was unavailable, and now it’s out of stock. I should have just used the awesome locket instead!

    I love the skirt with those tights and the funky feather duster necklace. Ahh, I kinda miss winter right now… actually… no I don’t. ;)

    Very cute!!! Do you own those tights? Can you comment on how they run? I always fear that everything from anthropologie will run very small . . .

      The tights are by Hue, and I have several in different colors. They’re my favorite brand, and I’m still wearing them through my pregnancy (though they are starting to get a little snug now, but I’m getting huge).

    Love the outfit. Thanks for reminding me about my vintage 90s hot pink dolman sweater.

    I love this outfit. I’ve been debating about investing in a good pair of Frye boots. I’m just so sick of things wearing out after one or two seasons!

    How do you find all that wonderful jewelry on Etsy? I can find wonderful vintage dresses easily, but jewelry always eludes me. Any tips?

    The Valhalla Brooklyn bags have been on my “lust” list for almost three years now! I think I just need to bite the bullet and buy one already.
