There is just something timeless about an a-line skirt and sweater set. It’s a universally flattering silhouette. Add to that a subtle plaid pattern, and you’ve got a classic look you can wear anytime and look put together and appropriate.
I’ve had all the pieces in this particular outfit for many years. That’s the great thing about classic wardrobe staples—they never go out of style. Developing a personal style rather than following every trend that comes along has the wonderful benefit of being able to wear the same clothing items for season after season and never look dated.
Although this outfit doesn’t look casual, it’s incredibly comfortable. The sweater set is soft and cozy and the skirt has some stretch to it.
I love the scarf I added to this outfit. It has a gorgeous paisley pattern and the color matches the sweater perfectly. (If you’ve seen any of my other outfit posts, you may have noticed I really like scarves. I’ll find any excuse to add a scarf to any outfit!)
The shoes I wore to complete this look are my old standby nude heels. These shoes are so versatile. They bring the perfect level of dressiness to almost any outfit. They truly go with anything. Plus, they’re so comfortable. Every girl should have a nice pair of nude heels in her wardrobe.
What I Wore
Sweater set (aka “twinset”): I’ve had this so long, I don’t remember where it came from (here’s a similar one)
Skirt: Chadwicks of Boston(here’s one similar)
Shoes: Journee Collection via Kohl’s
Scarf: This one’s old, too, so I don’t remember where I got it (a similar one here)
