sweater + tartan

I did not shop on Black Friday-- that was very hard. But I am trying to save money ...and not spend it. (Btw its kind of funny when I get all excited that I am "saving money" by buying something on sale- I'm not actually saving, I am spending!- unless it was something I was already going to buy).
However, in my wanderings and window shopping in the past few days, I have seen some lovely pieces that I would have loved to add to my closet. Solution: create an outfit idea! That usually satisfies my craving to make something pretty, even though I would love to wear it myself.

So here is an adorable sweater from anthropologie and a lovely on-trend skirt from zara, which inspired this outfit:

vivian of holloway tartan pencil skirt

vivienne westwood tartan skirt

forever 21 teal bootie

First of all, I love anthropologie. Their clothes are beautiful, detailed, unique, and feminine. This sweater is so cute- who doesn't love penguins? and now two of them?! so fun! And lately I am having a crush on the color grey for its versatility. To bring another trend into the outfit, here are two choices of a plaid midi skirt, which gives some visual excitement with its pattern. The pencil shape is a departure from the regular pleated schoolgirl look. Another trend I am really enjoying is cutout bootie-sandals. These blue one pick up the blue in the skirt.


Which animals would you like to see on a sweater?
