Velvet....

As I was working on this post I realized that my last few outfits have been some combination of shorts with boots. I guess you can say this has been my "look" lately.  Since it hasn't been super cold its been great to be able to wear shorts into the winter months.  For this outfit I opted for these velvet shorts that I've had for sometime now.  I forgot that I had purchased these tights over the summer from the Gap on super sale so I decided to pull them out for their winter debut.  Topped all off with a blazer and my favorite pair of Frye boots and I was off for weekend errands.

Style Tip:  I talk about wearing shorts into winter, here, but what happens when its a bit too cold for bare legs.  Try adding tights!  There are so many options available for any type of outfit and can add an element of interest that your outfit wouldn't have otherwise.
