The corduroy skirt is the warmest skirt I own. Six ways to wear it into December, tights and boot shafts included.
The cream cable knit is the easy one. A big sweater works over an A-line as long as it stops at the hip, so the skirt still flares below it.
The denim jacket over a fine turtleneck is what I take into town, with the brown knee-high boots doing the cold work. Denim over corduroy puts two workwear fabrics in one outfit.
Stripes and loafers on the days I have to look sorted. The corduroy is what keeps it warm and grown-up.
All black above the hem on the coldest day: opaque tights and the tall black boots close the gap the midi hem leaves.
Oatmeal hoodie and canvas sneakers for a Saturday with nothing in it. The skirt stays; the shoes decide how it reads.
At night, sheer tights, a burgundy knit and the heeled boots. Corduroy catches the light after dark, so the skirt is the only thing that shines.
What moves: the thick cream socks go from the cable knit to the stripes; the brown ankle boots and the brown knee-highs are the same leather in two heights; the tights go from opaque to sheer and the skirt follows into the evening; the black turtleneck also fits under the hoodie when it turns properly cold.
