Velvet + Plaid


Velvet and plaid are the signature textiles for the Winter season.  They're warm, soft and add lots of texture to your look.

There's no need to keep it separated, mixing it up creates interest and style.  Velvet tends to have a fancy vibe while plaid can be more on the casual side, so together you get a nice balance.

I styled them both for the office with a crisp white shirt and classic mary jane pumps.

Tip:  All of my blazers have functional button cuffs so that I can fold them up. I am on the petite side and I find that for easy of movement and work it's practical and quite frankly it's sloppy to have your sleeves hanging over your hands.  I also find it slimming to highlight your small features like your wrists. 

Styling Options with a Velvet Blazer:
Casual - tee, jeans and flats
Dressy - cocktail dress, strappy heels and a clutch

Styling Options with Plaid Pants:
Casual - tee, denim jacket and flat booties
Dressy - cashmere sweater and statement necklace

P.S. How precious is this locket necklace to hold a sweet picture of what's near and dear.  It's a timeless piece and makes a great gift.








Dress Beautifully in Velvet & Plaid
