Wrapped in Ruffles + Target $200 Giveaway Winner Announced!

Oh how much I love this outfit worn to work. Keeping stylish with negative temperatures and a ton of snow, is hard. But Winter layers don't have to be boring. My outfit today is a proof of that! This outfit has mostly neutral colors like black, navy and brown (maroon blouse) but it has textures like suede (Wrap Mini Skirt), real leather (Over-the-Knee Boots), faux snakeskin (Bright Coral Clutch) and tiered ruffles (Elbow-Sleeve Blouse). This outfit also features brands I love and shop at a lot. My OTK Boots are from DSW. The Mini Skirt and Patterned Black Tights are by Loft. The Blouse is by Who What Wear via Target. The Studs are by BaubleBar. The Necklace and Pearl Cocktail Ring are by The Limited (a brand I loved when they were in business) and the Snakeskin Clutch is by White House Black Market.

THE  NAVY  SUEDE  WRAP  SKIRT.

You can always count on Loft for cute, unique, fun skirts, especially mini skirts. Purchased a few months ago, this Faux Suede, Navy, Wrap-Style Mini Skirt is one of my favorites pieces. It definitely makes a statement and it is truly a beautiful piece. Plus it is the softest suede material. The navy color makes it go with so many colors. I can picture this skirt with red or bright yellow on top - it would look great! What do you think?!

THE  TIERED  MAROON  BLOUSE.

This Beautiful Chiffon Maroon Floral Blouse with the tiered ruffles is by Who What Wear via Target from about a year ago. I cannot believe I have only worn this blouse one more time prior to this. It finally made it into the blog. I love the feminine yet classy tiered ruffles and the length of the sleeves which makes the blouse perfect, year-around. This blouse is also pretty long so it would look great with pants and skinny jeans too. And look my Purple/Maroon and Silver Cluster Stud Earrings by BaubleBar match the blouse perfectly. I also love that I carried my Bright Coral Faux Snakeskin Little Clutch with this outfit. I love the pattern-mixing it created with the blouse.
