outfits for a week: crisp and cool

white vneck tee / black leather jacket / Madewell short heel boots / red leather shoulder bag / Madewell square scarve / Fresh Lip Treatment in Cherry

I'm gonna sound like a broken record here, but I normally dread colder weather - coats, scarves, boots and all. What can I say? I'm a warm-blooded, Southern Californian creature and I like my t-shirts and sunny skies. I'm doing everything I can to postpone the day I'll have to pull out the trunk under my bed and make my wardrobe winter-appropriate again, and I'm starting to cut it close.

That said, the following ensembles are easy to throw on, warm enough for in-between weather and polished enough to look like you tried harder than you really did. And maybe make getting up on a chilly morning a little less painful.

Note: Most items weren't purchased anywhere near regular price, and some are different but similar to what I actually own.
