metallic silver + mustard yellow

Herro, you guys! Ugghhh, this weather is killing me!!! I need Vitamin D in my life, like, now. Due to these lovely torrential downpours, I've had trouble shooting outfit photos outside. (Plus, I want to go to the beach, have picnics, and go tubing on the river!).  Especially with all of the spring clothing collections being released and tantalizing us on Instagram with warm weather adorableness, spring cannot come fast enough for me!

Anyways, today is (hopefully) one of my last posts featuring my winter wardrobe. I am in love with the combo of this mustard yellow, wool pencil skirt and the metallic silver tank and sweater set. I'm not entirely sure how practical this outfit is, but it sure is fun to style and accessorize! This outfit gives off the demeanor of elegance and grace, while also effortlessly combining dainty pieces with modern ones in a fabulously chic package. Translation: It makes me feel like a lady!!

**Warning: This post is extremely photo heavy because... well, I got a little excited, okay?! ;)

Sweater Set: my Mom's closet (sorry, ladies!!)
Skirt: J.Crew (different color)
Pumps: Isola
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff
Bracelets: J.Crew Factory
Earrings: Target

Even though I'm young, I do like to get all gussied up every now and then. I've always been attracted to styles far beyond my age, but at least now, I'm big enough to find them in my size! To glam up this outfit even more, try adding an intricate belt or dainty, black and gold necklace to make it really stand out amongst the crowd.
