Sweater Jacket + Stripe It Lucky Skirt + Leopard Foldover Clutch

Have you entered my giveaway this week?  Click here to enter for a chance to win a $25 gift card to The Mint Julep Boutique and see how I styled one of their beautiful dresses.  Don't wait: this giveaway runs until end of day Sunday, January 18, 2015.

Today's outfit is nothing new, but an example of a way to remix existing pieces into cozy winter layers.  I think that January is a great month to style new outfits with what you already have in your closet (whether saving money is one of your resolutions or not), and most of today's items have been styled here on the blog before.  This "Stripe It Lucky" skirt is one of my favorite pieces (seen styled for fall here and summer here), still available at Modcloth for under $50 and wearable with pretty much everything.  I'm wearing a size small, and I love that the elastic waist provides a perfect fit.  The red bow pumps were styled with a spring nautical outfit here and again for summer here.  The leopard clutch is a Black Friday weekend purchase, seen already twice this winter here and here.  This red boiled wool sweater jacket is the focal point of the outfit, adding both texture and bright color.  For today's ensemble, I paired this red sweater jacket and "Stripe It Lucky" skirt with a simple elbow-length black tee, red bow pumps, gold jewelry, and a leopard fold-over clutch for a versatile look that is perfect for a day at the office, lunch with the girls, date night, and more.
