Festive Fair Isle

Some days just call for comfy-coziness. I knew I'd have a busy day and would attempt some last minute Christmas shopping so I needed to wear something functional, all while remaining in the spirit of the season. Red was a given, but then I reached for my black Fair Isle knit and a lace blouse. I like wearing layers during the cooler months. It's a great way to stay warm for one, but is also great from a style perspective. I get creative with my layering and feel it adds dimension to my looks, all while maximizing the versatility of certain pieces. That's how you get more mileage out of some basic garments. My outfit served its purpose and I got my shopping done!
