Winter Florals and Ankle Biker Boots

I'm always on the lookout for great winter long sleeves.  When I'm getting ready in the morning, I always find myself looking for something that will be warm and comfortable, yet I still want it to have a stylish flare. This shirt was actually a Kohl's find from Simply Vera - Vera Wang. I find that her line can be overpriced for Kohl's, but if you can catch it on sale, she has some great pieces.  For tonight's post I wanted to focus on this floral long sleeve with winter coloring.  Its hard to tell from the pictures, but this shirt has a layered front.  Also, the seams along the side of the shirt are cinched and the finishing touch is the sheer blue material along the neckline. 

If you have time this weekend, take a stroll through Kohl's and flip through the racks! 

For the bottom half of my outfit, I paired basic dark jeans with great ankle biker boots.  If you haven't been paying attention, black biker style ankle boots are very trendy right now.  I picked this Franco Sarto pair up at Marshall's right before Christmas.  I love the leather wrap around the ankle and the brushed silver heel strap.  Here is a very similar pair, the top half of my boots are suede material versus all leather. 

Tip: Find yourself a pair of black pull on biker ankle boots!

Gray tones and a tulip

Since its been so cold the last couple of days I decided to pull the corduroys back out - not too happy about it.  The first thing I chose to wear was this tulip colored ruffle button down, well pull-over in this case.  Like I said the other day, when I'm layering a sweater or some type of blazer I like to add some width to the look so ruffles do the trick.  I picked this shirt up at Ann Taylor Loft on the sale wall - pretty sure it was something like $9.99.  It was something I saw and knew I could get a lot of use out of it.  Over the shirt, I wore one of my favorite sweaters, I love the large collar and flaps down the front.  This piece is made by Inc. - a Macy's brand. Sticking with the gray, I went with my gray skinny corduroys and trusty black leather slouch boots.  For some shine I wore a silver necklace that has some pearls and diamonds.  Its nothing too chunky but definitely carries some weight.

Tip: Pick a colored shirt and go with plain colors around it.  When I look at my outfit, I see a gray palette with a touch of purple, I don't know why but I think of a tulip :)

Looking forward to the weekend, its almost here!
