Houndstooth Skirt Houndstooth // Girl Wonder Life Holiday Party Outfit idea // Girl Wonder Life Shades of Grey // Girl Wonder Life Vince D'Orsay Pumps // Girl Wonder Life Vince D'Orsay pumps Shades of Grey Wool coat + houndstooth Hounstooth David Yurman bracelets

Turtleneck: Cabi (old, similar here & here) // Skirt: J.Factory (on sale!) // Heels: Vince // Coat: Theory (identical version) // Purse: Gucci (similar) // Bracelets: David Yurman amethyst cuff, Yurman bangle, Yurman buckle bracelet, Yurman pearl bracelet

The holidays are right around the corner, and what better way to ring them in than with a monochromatic ensemble with a hint of houndstooth. Fortunately here in the South we are graced with chilly days that still allow for bare legs. I’ve been loving J.Crew Factory’s skirts lately – my houndstooth skirt comes in three other colors; find the shirttail mini in stone, navy or white on the J.Crew Factory website (plus, shop now and get 40% off your purchase!), the perfect gift idea for her too. Paired with a chic clutch and a ladylike pair of heels, this outfit can easily transition from the office to a night out – perhaps a holiday party? I’d easily dress this look up with a flashy pair of earrings or a statement necklace.
