What to Wear Wednesday: London Calling

Hi lovelies! I hope that you are all  having a fantastic week so far… we’re half-way to the weekend! I’ve been a little behind in my fashion posts the past few weeks but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been documenting my outfits. In fact, I’ve decided to step up my game a little bit. In the past, my outfit pictures consist of me, running out the door and having someone take a quick picture for me. But this being a new year and all I’ve decided to hopefully up my ante a bit. What I’ve found is that these little “model shots” are actually really fun. I’ve also learned that sometimes the outtakes are the best shots. Although they tend to be a little embarrassing re: my serious face just looks like I’m angry, it’s also good to make fun of oneself so I’ll do a full “outtakes” post soon.

I call this outfit a “London look” because there are elements that I wore when I was abroad. Although I wasn’t a fan of the cold, I loved that layers were essential and cold weather accessories are key. Most of the time in San Francisco, neither are necessary but the extremely cold temperatures of 2 weeks ago brought my London and SF wardrobes together. After cleaning out my closet, I discovered my plaid tweed skirt which I haven’t worn in a few years but was a fun discovery! I kept the rest of the outfit classic with black and wore my new Cole Haan flat boots. Oh and I wore this outfit ice skating because let’s face it, tweed skirt and beret scream ice skating, right?
