Winter in Ruffles and Plaid

As you probably already know, I’m a huge fan of taking a clothing item and restyling it as much as possible to maximize value. The perfect example is this gold ruffle top.

I bought this ruffle blouse with me to Marrakech and wore it as a summer piece with gladiator sandals . I’m styling the same piece as a winter look with boots and a plaid blazer today. The weather has been really nice in NYC recently, so three layers (thermal + yellow ruffle blouse + wool blazer) is good enough. I really love the splashes of burgundy with gold. It’s such a warm yet striking autumn/winter color combination. And the look is not complete without a touch of holiday. Tada, a velvet braided headband!
