Wool and Plaid, Leather and Chains

While today didn't turn out to be the end of the world, it was the winter solstice. To celebrate this and the last day of work before the holidays, I decided to wear my classic Tartan J. Crew shirt, Smythe wool jacket and Christian Louboutin Cate boots. Let me just say that I love Smythe jackets and blazers and became quite addicted to them last year. The thing I like best about these classic blazers is that they are all made in Canada and the quality is top notch. The fit and tailoring of this brand is very nice, although I do have to take a couple of my blazers in to have the sleeves hemmed. I find this surprising because my arms are fairly long. If you are looking to invest in a Smythe blazer be forewarned that they are notorious for running small. I can fit a size 4/6 in most of their styles, but prefer to size up in order to wear a sweater comfortably underneath.

My boots, the Christian Louboutin Cate, are my favorite boots of all time due to the classic riding boot silhouette mixed with an edgy gunmetal chain in the back. They're business in the front, party in the back. These boots are great if you have small calves and feel like you legs are swimming in other boots.
