how do you keep a wool pencil skirt from being stuffy? add a faux fur cardigan that’ll chase the chill away. sometimes, it’s challenging to keep our nine-to-five wardrobe on-trend. especially when pencil skirts, blazers, and cardigans make up the bulk of our selections. that’s when an addition like faux fur can elevate your ootd from ho-hum to humdinger.
and what a beautiful color combination. coral and camel is a perfect pairing for fall. (so perfect, i almost blend into the scenery.) if you’re ever looking for inspiration think no further than mother nature. she definitely knows what she’s doing! but once the outfit foundation is in place all that’s left to do is add the accessories. since this outfit is all about office chic i kept it simple with a pair of nude pumps and crossbody handbag.
see how easy it is to incorporate trends with a classic pencil skirt and pumps? whenever it’s time to infuse some extra style into your nine-to-five wardrobe balance a trend with a classic. this is how we keep our look fresh and modern.

Bravo! You have done it again: taken great staples and made a very appealing outfit. I love it. I only wish GA had more weather for an outfit like that.
hi melinda!
thanks for stopping by! i don’t know about you, but the temps here in athens have been perfect for me to wear an outfit like this. i’m loving the chilly mornings and evenings when a cardigan is the perfect addition.

Love the sweater! When I was in elementary school, we had little faux fur or rabbit fur colors we wore with our sweaters. Hey, it was the 50’s…ha! xoxo
i remember those fur collars. i was right behind you, growing up in the sixties. and styles didn’t change half as quickly as they do today!

You look terrific. Last year in particular, I bought several faux fur pieces and I have had such fun with them. Plus, come winter, they’re very practical–nice and toasty around the neck.
faux fur has been going strong for the past several years. and i don’t see any sign of it diminishing any time soon. this year, there’s a faux fur jacket i have my eye one. it’s burgundy!

I love the faux fur champagne beige sweater. It is definitely my all time favorite so far!
hi blythe! somehow, i missed your comment. isn’t this faux fur cardi perfect for the holidays. i’ve had it for several years and wear it often during the winter months.
thanks for stopping by.
