Outfits Not Just Clothes

 Technically, this is more of a smocked top, then a turtleneck, but a high-waisted neckline is good enough for me--Happy #TurtleneckTuesday! Usually I'm wearing sunglasses, but wanted to show off some eye shadow application. I'm far from a makeup-pro, but I'm thinking this blue/teal eye could be a go-to for winter.   hat-Old Navy(similar here ), jacket-Nordstrom(similar here ), blouse /necklace-Pavement(similar necklace here ). belt- Amazon , culottes-Mango(similar here ), rings- Mejuri , boots- Nine West , eye color- e.l.f . As in this post , I wanted to amp up the style factor from my regular Turtleneck Tuesday OOTDs here in the new year. I recently picked up this lovely smocked top from a local shop Pavement in the Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh that is bringing a bit of fresh air into winter outfitting.  This fleece coatigan is the perfect mid-layer for winter and gives any outfit another set of pockets! 

 These pants are a repeat from this post . I think they are just so perfect for winter! shirt /belt/scarf-Gap(more belts here  similar scarf here ), pants-Uniqlo(similar here ), necklace / ring -Mejuri, bag-J.Jill(similar here ), socks-Target(more options here ), boots- Columbia Sportswear I went with a rugged-chic style for this OOTD, pairing these high-waisted tweedy culottes with a bright red henley, plaid scarf, stripey wool socks, and hiking boots. I'm wearing this scarf almost like a shawl/poncho and using this crossbody bag to create alternative silhouettes. As stated above, these pants are quite versatile. From Tuesday's sporty  post  to a layered look from a dress-over-pants post  a few years back, these navy trousers suit a wide arrange of outfits and are quite warm to boot!

coat-H&M(similar here ), scarf-J.Crew(more options here ), sweater- Le Tote , culottes-Mango(similar here ), boots-Nine West(similar here ) This OOTD can be surprisingly versatile when it comes to shapes, angles, and silhouette, not to mention the layering potential.  You may recall I sported this cardigan last spring with pink pants here .  For a winter wearing I've kept the palette black and white, and played with proportion balancing the wider leg of these culottes with the cinched peplum of the cardigan. The infinity scarf, with it's various loops, changes up the neckline, and the peacoat provides some sharp edges to the knitwear pieces. Also, this cardi features snaps as opposed to buttons, so you could easily layer pieces underneath. You can't see it, but I have a black knit tank as a base layer on this sweater. Like I said, surprisingly versatile!
