Today's outfit has some of my favorite style elements in it - a serious plaid pattern, edgy leather pants and a fun floppy wool hat! I love the floppy hats and fedoras as they can rescue me from bad hair days, specially during the frizzy rainy weather!

Lookbook: Oversized Sweater, Faux Fur & Hunter Boots

Red Hunter Boots, Faux Fur Vest, How to wear fuax fur vest, Camo Beanie

It is rainy, chilly, messy weather in my neck of the woods. My Hunter boots come in handy for running errands and just be out and about in the damp weather. With an over sized sweater (tall girls tip - find an oversized sweater in men's department! Mine is from Forever 21, X-small) layered over a tee shirt and a warm faux fur vest and a fun camo beanie, I am ready to face the weather - no matter how dreary!

Lookbook : Colorblock Cape & Stuart Weitzman Lowland OTK Boots

Stuart Weotzman Lowland Boots, How to wear a cape, How to wear a ruana

Call it a cape or ruana or even a generic poncho, this wrap around outerwear is really popular again. It is bohemian and polished at the same time. I love the cozy feel and casual vibe of a cape, but it can easily be styled for work with a belt to give it a kimono jacket look. This is an old ruana (last seen in the post '3 ways to wear a ruana') but I can't get enough of it!

Snow Days With Hunter Boots & Factory Colorblock Coat

JCrew Factory Colorblock Coat, Red Hunter Boots, Hunter Boots For Snow, Forever Striped Sweater

I have a little secret about today's outfit. I am wearing a sweater that I picked from men's section! I have to admit, sometimes I find it hard to shop for oversized sweaters in women's section. Either they are too short to hit me at the hips or the sleeves are to short for me. So when I saw this striped knit sweater at Forever 21 men's department, I kinda hit a home run! I am wearing a size small and it fits me perfectly as a loose, hip length sweater!
