PUFFED-SHOULDER TURTLENECK: Anthropologie (it also comes in pink!)  |  PLEATED checked MIDI SKIRT: Burberry (also loving this plaid skirt and this under $50 beauty!)  | SOCK BOOT: Stuart Weitzman (virtually identical under $150 dupe HERE)  | HANDBAG: M2Malletier  |  BLACK leather waist BELT: Gucci  |  BAKER young boy HAT: Brixton

If you saw my recent post on the top accessory trends of the season, then you already know two things: (1) these Stuart Weitzman sock boots are likely not leaving my feet this season (check out this practically identical dupe under $200), and (2) this baker young boy hat is likely not leaving my head.

But even when sporting some of my favorite seasonal trends, I always like to take a classic method to dressing.  Grounding today’s look is this pleated plaid midi skirt, a timeless staple that’ll never go out of style.  I’m also loving this plaid midi skirt and this under $50 beauty as well!

Today’s puffed-shoulder turtleneck is another cold-weather favorite, which I recently wore here with a mini skirt and over-the-knee boots for drinks and dinner with friends.  The take on detailing not only elevates the wardrobe staple, but also provides a modern spin on the classic black turtleneck—perfect for both the office or an evening out.
