What I wore:
Scarf: thrifted pink ombre tassel scarf
Dress: Salty Crush Avery midi dress in charis blue relaxed button down tiered dress with balloon sleeves
Boots: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware
Why I wore it:
This was a bittersweet day! We had a team lunch to celebrate one of our colleagues moving to a new team. I wanted to be a little dressed up for it, but also warm, as the restaurant was partially outdoors, and I had a bunch of meetings that day too. This cosy ombre pink pashmina scarf was a perfect cosy layer, and the navy trench coat was a practical choice as well. I actually ended up taking my scarf off at lunch as we got situated under the heater and it was quite toasty!
I picked this Rebecca Minkoff black unlined tote to wear to fit in the card we had all put together for my colleague, and then the black ankle boots were an obvious matchy choice with that. I did wish I'd worn taller boots though, it was a bit of a windy day and that tiny little gap of leg above the boots that showed when the wind picked up the hem of the dress got a bit cold!

Why I wore it:
Another tiered midi dress for the office, with the same black ankle boots. It was not quite as windy a day, so the little gap between the hem of the dress and top of my boots didn't make me too cold. Again I went with darker bag to match the boots. This Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag photographs as a black bag but it's just a very dark navy. I like pairing it with these boots.I layered up this fuchsia pink Kmart tiered midi dress with this cobalt Louis Vuitton shawl - it's so warm for winter! And my lined camel trench coat, always a staple in winter weather.
