Faking a Black Sweater Dress and Adding a Blazer.

First of all, this Outfit is not ancient. just a couple of weeks old. After all, I only took my Christmas tree down a week ago. I figured since this week has been the week where I have shown Sweater Dresses on the blog (examples 1 and 2) I might as well show you a third one. =)

Except, this is not a Black Sweater Dress but (once again) I faked a Black Sweater Dress by pairing a Black Skirt with a Black Sweater. I wore my Cranberry (they are calling it Marsala in 2015 - Pantone's Color of the year) Corduroy Blazer. To match the Blazer, I have a little bit more Marsala Color in my Plaid Tights. I paired them with my Gray OTK Boots, added a Silver Bobble Necklace and I was off to work on a cold Winter day. What do you think?
