Outfit of the day!



When the weather outside is frightful the best thing to do, aside from curling up by a delightful fire, is to layer. But bulky layers aren't our cup of tea, which is why we love this combination of fitted, warm separates. Fleece leggings and a long sleeve tee provide the foundation for this outfit. The graphic print belted jacket by Liquid pulls it all together. A pair of boots and a pashmina wrap add extra warmth when venturing out for an afternoon stroll or just curling up by the fire.
