Thoughtful accessories elevate a mundane look into fashion-forward territory. Upgrade the sweater-and-skirt combo with navy blue suede over-the-knee boots and a cute beret.
A textural, faux fur topper is a playful counterpoint to the skirt's houndstooth print. Wear an of-the-moment voluminous top, exposing the cuffs from the jacket and finish with patent leather oxfords and a red leather crossbody for extra polish.
For a night out layer a glamorous velvet bodysuit over a sleek fitted turtleneck. Pair with unique ankle boots and drape an elegant camel-colored coat over the shoulders.
