Style By Numbers

I am absolutely loving my new snood from A-Wear. It’s soft and comfy and dresses up ordinary outfits. Plus it’s fun to say snood…snnnnnood…snooooood* I’m not sure I understand where the name comes from, but it’s not really that important (I get the S-scarf and OOD-hood, but he N?)  I was inspired by MessYourHairUp’s recent snood+stripes combo and through this together in a mad rush out the door (though not too mad to miss an opportunity to take photos)

♥ Stripped T: H&M ♥ Snood: A|Wear ♥ Skirt: American Apparel ♥  ♥ Boots: New Look ♥

♥ Sweater: Express ♥

It was really cold out, so I added a sweater for the commute. This cropped grey cashmere sweater from Express is one of my favourite pieces. I found it on sale for $19 about 7 years ago and it has definitely been worth every penny. The cropped sleeves and tight fit let the stripes shine through and doesn’t add too much bulk (and helps counter the horizontal stripe effect)

♥ Boots: New Look ♥

And these are my new grey boots (purchased in the North because they were cheaper). I really wanted some flat grey boots and these were the first I saw that I liked. I know that being cheep they probably won’t last too long, but they are actually made pretty well and are very comfortable.
