When you wear an outfit like this, you kinda wish you’re in New York because it will look more legit there. Although I already know that I’m the first one to chicken out with the cold there. I’ve always loved the tall boots and short skirt style…in fact, I have another one coming here in a couple of weeks in collaboration with Dodge Charger!

At this time, even though I don’t like the cold (did I already say that too many times already?), I’d have to agree that fall and winter fashion are cool (no pun intented!), except that they make you look ten times bigger than you really are! Don’t you think? All those chunky sweaters and coats you’d have to wear to keep you warm…they’re awesome, yes! But they lose points once you see yourself in the mirror and all of a sudden it seems that you’ve been inflated. Ha! Anyway, this chunky sweater from The Girl That Loves is just that…chunky! But it does serve the purpose. I think when you’re cold, being skinny and sexy is the least of your worries. Seriously. The electric blue faux leather skater skirt though. I haven’t seen one anywhere else so if you’re looking for a statement skirt this season…this is it! It does run big in size though so if you’re a medium, small will probably fit you. I wear a small but the small is at last an inch bigger still.

Adding a vest or a trench will definitely complete the look. You can wear high heel boots or flat tall boots if you’re more comfortable with it but in my opinion, tall high heel boots are better with this look. If you’re going for a more casual look and if it’s colder, you can wear tights and flat tall boots. It’s all about what look you’re going for with the pieces that you have.
