Late Afternoons: Peacoat and Ruffles...

1/8/2023

Hello and Happy Friday!

There is something about late afternoon in the winter that just hits differently to me. I cannot exactly explain why but it is one of my favorite times of day. (Although, trying to get pictures in at this time of day can be tricky with the lighting. But I will still take it!)

This particular park is one of my favorite places! It is so scenic and gorgeous! It has a calming energy as well. I take walks here a lot especially in the spring/fall -when it is not ridiculously hot or cold.

For the last month this area has been rented out and closed off for holiday parties and events, so I was thrilled when I came to shoot this look and was finally able to use it again!

This look is a great winter/fall look that came together so easily! Although it is a little hard to tell a lot about the skirt -as I said this time of day can be tricky with the lighting- I think you can get a good sense of it. It was part of a small Christmas present from myself to myself. It was four pieces from Loft. The black turtleneck and this velvet, floral print, ruffled skirt are both very lovely pieces.

The turtleneck is a pretty classic staple. You cannot go wrong with a black turtleneck. It is perfect for layering, lightweight, versatile, and timeless. Of course, it and the skirt went together perfectly for a very cozy and elevated look. The skirt has hints of deep purple and burnt orange in it and so the peacoat was another piece that just made sense. It all flowed together effortlessly, for a classy look!
