Big Sweater, Mini Skirt


One of my favorite cold weather staples: Warm sweaters and sweet mini skirts. I feel the sweater balances out the small skirt, creating an appropriate look with opaque tights. It shows there’s still a lady underneath that billowy sweater, yet you still stay warm in toasty in the cold.

Another fun feature of the sweater/mini combo, it can be dressed up to sequins or down to snow boots. 

 Remember, key to the look is balance. One of the most important rules when getting dressed: big on top, small on bottom; small on bottom, big on top.
