Starting to Dress for Cooler Weather

It's starting to cool down in the Carolinas...I remember one reader commenting months back that winter had arrived in New Zealand...we're not that far along, but the wind is getting colder, and it's time to break out the sweaters, scarves, and other such layers:

Up-close of the plaid pants

I got these fab plaid pants at Loehmann's - they're by jaidan. I've never heard of the brand, but they were apparently about $300 full price, but I paid more like $60. They were paired with a sweet cowlneck, red sweater in the store, but they didn't have my size in the top. I had to have the pants though...the plaid is just so versatile, and like how you can add punches of red to the outfit and still match the pants. The red, cashmere scarf is also from Loehmann's, though I don't remember the name of the brand on that piece. The shoes are by Kenneth Cole, and the sweater is by Banana Republic. A warm, comfy, and office-worthy outfit...everybody wins...lol
