Windowpane Check Jacket in Winter

Hello and thanks for stopping by my blog!

It's the middle of winter and cold, colder or coldest
 almost everywhere in the northern hemisphere 
Lucky you, if you are basking in the sun
in a warm climate, right now!
Are you a lover of cold weather?
I know some people are, 
and a ski vacation just about now sounds great⛷!
I think I would rather linger by the fire 

 So this week I thought I would style
 a favorite formula of mine for the season,
a jacket over a dress
Wearing a plum colored A-line dress and an ivory and grey windowpane check blazer, both in winter weights 



Yesterday I was fastinated by a YouTube video
 about the various micro trends that have sprung up recently
 A style called office core, 
or corpcore is one of them 
It seems my favorite classic style
 happens to be trending now!


Carrying a much loved vintage 1960s black leather bag
I love the minimalist style and curved handles



A few simple accessories and jewelry with this look
 A black braided hair band, silver tone teardrop earrings,
 and a wide vintage 1950s silver tone
 expandable cuff bracelet


A little bright color is needed!
I chose a tassel motive printed scarf around my neck,
in shades of pink, plum and light blue


Black suede block heel sling backs to finish the outfit
I will not be walking far outside in these today-cold feet! 


Here is a similar outfit from January, 2020
A jacket over a dress is a go to option for me



Stay warm whatever your style,
 and hope you enjoy your week!

I like the sound of "corpcore", I still have a few pieces that would work for that! Love your blazer, very classy. I don't mind the cold too much (it was unusually cold here a few days ago). I like the chance to wear scarves hats etc. But no skiing for me.

Both of these outfits are terrific - you do the classic "officecore" aesthetic so well ! :D The windowpane print is really nice; we don't see that in women's clothes as often as we should.

I'll take office wear everyday! Haha! I need to check that out, I hadn't heard of microtrends before. I really like your jacket. It's beautiful!
