How to dress for the holiday season and beyond. In this post, In this post, I have focused on the “beyond”. I have selected items that I feel will stand on their own merit and will integrate into an already curated wardrobe. I bought a very similar grey pleated skirt a few years ago and find that I can wear it all year round. In the summer it works well with a plain white tee or a cotton shirt. Then in the Autumn sometimes I add a colourful cardigan. In winter it still works with a chunky sweater and if necessary with a thermal vest as a primary layer. You can even wear some thin leggings or opaque tights to keep your legs warm.
The jacket has a soft shimmer so would work for weddings, funerals or just teamed with a pair of jeans for a casual evening out.
The red print top can be worn all year round and adds colour to the face. I can even imagine wearing it in the Summer with a pair of white jeans. The black pumps are a classic. The scalloped edge adds an interesting twist.

What a pretty outfit.
Lovely. Not only is it pretty together, but also offers so many possibilities to mix and match with other items in one's wardrobe. I love that each component can be dressed up or styled more casually. Every piece is a workhorse (which doesn't sound pretty, but is something we all need in our closet)! Thanks for this inspiration.
