Wearing: Kendra Scott earrings / Laura Mercier lipstick / Banana Republic sweater (on sale!!) / long sleeve tee-on sale! (layered under sweater)  / Givenchy handbag / Topshop pleated skirt (I’m wearing petite) / Christian Louboutin nail polish / Bottega Veneta booties / socks hidden in booties

Wondering how to style a spring skirt in the winter months? This is something I find myself doing often. I love spring and summer clothing, so I tend to purchase more clothing during the warm weather seasons then I do during the winter. My two weaknesses during the winter are coats, and jackets! So I find myself reaching for spring or summer items in my closet, and restyling them for the cold winter weather.

I will say this, the San Francisco Bay Area is more mild in the winter months compared to other parts of the country. That being said, our temperatures do go down into the 30’s and 40’s sometimes, so I need to strategically style spring and summer clothing for the winter.

This outfit I have featured in this post I wore to church a couple of weeks ago, and then out to lunch with my family. It is a spring skirt, winter sweater, fall booties, and accessories which transcend seasons. In order to stay warm in the high 40 degree weather, I layered a long sleeve tee underneath the sweater, and I am wearing ankle socks, you cannot see, inside my booties. It worked like a charm!

If temperatures were cooler than they were that day, this outfit could easily be worn with knee or thigh-high boots, thicker socks, and a coat. I think a navy coat such as this one on sale, would be fabulous! Also, if you top it off with this beanie, it would look NYFW, street-style ready. Love!

One of my favorite things to wear on cold fall, or winter days, is faux fur. It is soft, cozy, and adds a little bit of spice to an otherwise bundled up ensemble. I originally purchased this vest during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. It went back up to regular price, and now it is on an even bigger discount than during the first sale! If you are looking for a fun, faux fur vest, this one is fabulous; and it is 40% off! Love that!

A faux fur vest is a great item to own for the fall season. It keeps you cozy without being too warm; like a coat, jacket, or sweater. It is also a great way to elevate a casual outfit. I love the black and white fibers on this faux fur vest. It adds dimension to the overall look of the vest.

This faux fur vest not only elevates casual looks, it can be dressed up too! Picture it with an all-black outfit based by a pencil skirt, or black slim-fit trousers. It will be the centerpiece or the outfit. Love!

I’m looking forward to wear this faux fur vest more often when the weather gets cooler. So far, I have only been able to wear it while the fog is still in; as soon as it recedes back over the Santa Cruz Mountains, I have to change. Here’s to looking forward to cooler, autumn temperatures!
