Classic Combination-Pullover plus Denim Skirt

Hello, and welcome to my blog-thanks for stopping by!

It is the middle of February 📆 already

 I am glad February is the shortest month of the year,
 especially now that the Valentine's Day  
 festivities are in the rear view window
 Here in Maryland, as in much of the northern hemisphere,
 February is one of coldest months of the year,
 and, of course the last full month of winter!
 By the end of the month, which is coming very soon,
 there will be a few small signs of spring. Hooray!
I am not thinking about packing up
 my winter woollies yet,
with the high temperature 
 reaching all the way down to the 20's at night, 
but I am thinking about what to wear 
during the tricky bridge months ahead
  Punxsutawney Phil has predicted
  six more weeks of winter weather,
but the groundhog seems to be wrong
more often than right,
so I hope he misses this year!
 


For now a lot of us, including me,
 are pulling out and wearing
 the pieces in our winter wardrobe
 that have been neglected all season
It's time to assess why!
 Also, I am getting one last wear in 
on the winter pieces I like most,
 before putting them away for the spring season
How about you, 
are you looking forward to spring, yet?

 Today I am wearing a V-neck, 
 forest green cable knit sweater
 that doesn't get much wear,
   with a trusty denim skirt that does
The skirt is an all season mid-wash,
 with functional front flap pockets 
I will definitely be keeping it out for the spring-
love the versatility of denim!


 




Carrying my mini bucket bag in two-tone, black and tan
I guess this little bag can be considered
 an often worn favorite,
especially since the black and tan slides
that match it so well
have come into my closet!


 I chose some toned down, gold jewelry pieces
 to complement this casual outfit
 A wrap bracelet, in a burnished yellow
 and rose gold combination,
 a vintage reticulated leaf pendant,
and large hoop earrings


My black and tan Mary Jane slides to finish the look




I thought this denim skirt was so cute,
worn back in spring, 2020
Maybe you remember when patchwork was trending!
This skirt didn't stay very long in my closet,
because once out of the dressing room
 and worn in public,
I felt self conscious-too short for me!
I think the A-line silhouette
makes it look even shorter
I consigned the skirt in 2021, soon after this wearing
It is such a fun design-I hope the new owner is loving it! 



Hope everyone enjoys their week!

Now is about the time I start to do those things with my closet as well, especially sweaters. I like this simple, yet chic combo of a denim skirt and sweater. Your two-tone shoes and bag are such a good match and neutral, but eye-catching. Perfect elevated-basic pieces!

This is one of those classic outfit formulas that we can really personalize for our style and our weather. I love the coordinating black-and-tan accessories (including your leopard belt) with the dark green and denim!
