Stephanie’s OOTD: Printed Coral Midi Skirt & Breton Stripe Top

 

Earrings: Forever 21 /Sweater: H&M (Similar)/ Skirt: Topshop via Nordstrom Rack/ Shoes: Nine West

Being based in Miami is both a blessing and a curse in the winter. On one hand, it’s nice to be able to wear shorts and sandals year round. (Downsides: you have to keep your legs tanned 24/7, your hair is always frizzy, and sometimes the candles in your centerpieces at Christmas brunch melt…) But the thing is,  I like tights! I miss my winter clothes! When I lived in New York, jetting down to Miami for the weekend was a welcome diversion and a nice escape from the arctic winter. But I was ALWAYS glad to go back home to the Big Apple.

It’s also nice to be able to change up your wardrobe with the seasons. Dressing for summer year round can get tiresome. Plus, we don’t have the added bonus of incorporating some of my favorite things as much as I’d like: layering, tights, faux fur, leather. They can be used in moderation, but interpreting the trend in warmer climates is a bit more challenging and takes some creativity. It took me a little while to get comfortable with wearing leather here. Thank God that warm weather leather is a thing now and a year-round trend! I refuse to wear faux fur here, though. I see some women break out their fur vests at 60 degrees and the New Yorker in me rolls her eyes. (She also gets annoyed when people walk slow, ask you for money, or don’t know how to drive.)

I was happy we had some breezier weather recently. I’ve been able to get a lot of use out of my favorite breton stripe sweater.  I spotted this Topshop organza midi skirt and fell in love with it! I decided to pair it with my  breton stripe sweater and a top knot with statement earrings. (Plus, my fave nude Nine West t-strap pumps. They’re the PERFECT nude shade!)
