 I recently styled a party look with a black and white striped sweater with sequin detail and a short black skirt. This striped sweater and midi skirt version was worn last week during Vancouver's few snowy days when I went Christmas shopping and to a coffee date with blogger friend Veronika. My love for black and white striped tops and black skirts is pretty evident at this point but how can I not love a look that can be worn in so many different ways?


In past years I have complained that the holidays fly by too quickly and I never get to enjoy them. This year our tree is decorated, stockings are hung and our advent calendars are in full swing. We decorated a gingerbread house and baked sugar cookies. I use the word "we" very loosely here, although we've both been very involved in the eating step of the cookie baking process.

 A few other ways I've styled this skirt and blouse

  2. Such a pretty look! Love the contrast of the b&w against the snow! A midi skirt seems like such a good idea for winter but I never thought of wearing one! Thanks for the inspiration! :)
