Hello fashionistas, I hope that you had a wonderful week. I
have been having slight internet woes, and I am slowly catching up with e-mails
and posts pretty much all weekend. Did you go shopping and grab any holiday deals yet? I
managed to get the bulk of my shopping done online earlier this past week, but still have a portion left to do.
Over the past month, I have attempted to go through
some old clothing and shoes for donating. Finally, the task has been completed,
however some pieces needed to be kept of course, because there are many items
that are just classic.
During the exercise of my vogue perusing moments I came
across one of my favourite tweed hats—it’s a menswear Kangol hat that I haven’t
worn in some time. I’ve always adored tweed and textures in general, so it was the
perfect reason for me to also bring out my matching skirt that I designed years
ago. It’s such a simple skirt that has been through countless moves, fashion shoots, shows, and meetings. It’s significant to me because it’s one of my first skirts
that I made in design school, so how could I get rid of it?
As for the outfit, I wore this to an after-work dinner. I
imagine, the best way to brave the cold climate in style (if possible) for me
is to bring out the leather gloves, tweed, and vintage fur. Yes, these
elements speak to me, but it’s even better with bits of luster from a patent piece
or two thrown into the fashion concoction.
So tell me, how do you kick it up a notch when it’s a bitter chill outside?
The goods: Fur-Vintage, Tweed hat-Kangol, Blazer-Oscar de la Renta, Pencil skirt-Ladyofashion
design, Cardigan-Gudrun Sjoden, Leather gloves-Sigerson Morrison, Patent
belt-Zara, Tights-Capezio New York, Boots-Diba.

beautiful outfit! Very classy and retro look! Love the bits of burgundy too, beautiful!
You look amazing! Old school glamour at its best. Love the tweed!
There is something slightly Gatsby-esque about this outfit that I just love, Madison – maybe it's the slight cloche shape of your hat, but the first thing I thought of when the page loaded was that I could pictures Zelda Fitzgerald wearing this same outfit in the winter. And I mean that as the highest compliment 🙂
xox,

Well that outfit looks fabulous on you Madison. Glad you had a great time at the party. You looked great! I like the way you incorporate new things with older items. I like to do the same thing. Some things are just classic and withstand the test of time. They look good season to season. It's definitely the smart way to shop. Internet issues are always the worse.

Liebe Madison, das ist so ein schöner Rock, den Du Dir genäht hast und mir gefällt Dein Männerhut sehr gut dazu. Überhaupt finde ich Dich sehr elegant in Deinem Outfit, Du siehst aus wie eine wunderschöne Lady aus den 40er Jahren <3 Ich habe noch keine Weihnachtsgeschenke gekauft, aber unsere Kinder, die ja schon erwachsen sind, suchen sich selber schon etwas aus. Meine Tochter mag zum Beispiel neue Reitstiefel. Und mein Mann und ich und meine anderen Familienmitglieder, wir schenken uns nur Kleinigkeiten.
Alles Liebe und eine tolle Woche, liebe Madison!

I just voted for knitted turtlenecks.
You look amazing!
It's a lovely classic vintage look and I agree with you, how could you get rid of one of the first skirts you made. The gloves just add to your ladylike outfit. I've just donated clothes and my wardrobe is much neater now!

You have a distinctive style that carries itself through from outfit to outfit. I respect that. You express your individuality in a way that's instantly recognizable. And you put together clothes with skill.
Reading your blog is like taking a fashion class that doubles as a lesson in self-expression. Where do I send my tuition??
Absolutely loving your combo!!! Classy chic,You are such a Chickitodiva…

This is a really elegant outfit, love the hat! You are lucky to have a winter weather that lets you to dress you in style, over here a space suit would be useful with all the snow and wind.
Sorry about your internet messing around, it's so annoying when that happens ><
Tweed is one of my weaknesses, so this look is killing me. Love it. You remind me a bit of Lauren Bacall in 'To Have and Have Not' in this outfit – so elegant!
xx
Ah, lucky you to get so much shopping done! I've snagged a few things, but wasn't daring enough to go out on Black Friday. This look is so so cute, and I just love your layering and all the fun textures you've got going on!
sOOOOOOOOOOOOOO classy and stylish, my dear Madison.
Love and sunshine ALWAYSSSSSSSSSSS

Talk about classic. You're stunning in that outfit, you look like you should be in a movie. What a beautiful and versatile skirt design. You did a great job. I've tried designing and sewing my own skirts before and I know that (at least for me) it's harder than it looks. Enjoy the rest of your weekend 😀
Don't you love when you go through your closet and you find pieces you have forgotten about! Love the hat, actually love the whole look! So chic! Awesome that you donated a few things from your closet!
