Kyoto Kitty

It’s time for more outfits!

Even though we’re smack dab in the middle of winter here in the Bay Area, the weather isn’t so oppressive that you can get away without wearing your heaviest polyester filled parka. And, that means that sometimes you can get away with sporting a dash of spring into an outfit such as with a cropped blazer and wispy summer shirt.

Synonymous with winter and lumberjack wear is the mighty flannel shirt. For some reason, the way these layering pieces have a knack for keeping you warm. During colder days. I like to layer an interesting t-shirt under it while on warmer days, a perfectly color coordinated tank top will help pull the colors of your outfit together magically.

Lastly, thanks to the forgiving temperatures here in California, girls can always get away with wearing skirts/dresses any time during the year. The only essential item to pulling off pants-less fashion in colder climates is by pairing some tights with your outfit. I preferred to add a little edge to my skirted outfit by wearing some boyish military boots to achieve a little edge to an otherwise prim and proper statement.
