Earlier in the week, I went to a speaker who gave a presentation on an area of law I’m interested in, and since there would be lots of attorneys there, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to “dress up” a little and not look so much like a student. But since almost all of my business casual clothes are packed up for the school year, I didn’t have a lot of options at the ready. I did have this skirt, but the temperature called for tights and the rain called for a sturdier shoe. I ended up with the outfit on the left, but then I realized the ruffled tweed, bright purple, winter white, contrasting tights, and studded knee-high boots look was probably not the best way to blend in with a bunch of lawyers.
So instead I ended up with the more casual but still sophisticated outfit on the right. You know how I overthink things sometimes? Yep.
Jacket: Anthropologie, old (similar, splurge)
Jeans: Tommy Hilfiger
Boots (outfit 1): Kohl’s, old (similar)
Boots (outfit 2): Bandolino, old

That jacket is best statement piece! I never would have thought to pair it with a berry-hued turtleneck and it’s just perfect!
I love it both ways. I particularly like the boot with the flared jeans! You look polished either way. I can’t wait till you become a lawyer, I want to see how you dress for the court room1
You look great either way, but I really love it with the flared jeans!! SO chic!
