Skirts and Pullovers.... Easy and Beautiful Combo

I like wearing pants. However, lately I started wearing skirts much more often than I used to. Yes, it is true that wearing a skirt requires a little bit more effort since I have to pay attention to tights and shoes I wear, they become much more visible, but I don't mind, because wearing a skirt with pullover or chunky sweater is very easy, versatile and is a lot of fun.

Looking through some Vogue Italia   new collections for the next season on skirt and pullovers, I realized that all those looks are pretty much timeless: this is what I wore last season, this is what I wear now, and this is what they offer for the Fall/Winter 2013/14. That means, I can invest and buy a good quality separates, mix and match them, wear for a long time so I have very minimal "per wear" cost, and have fun with it. Just check out looks below I chose to share with you and tell me if you can't find anything you would feel comfortable wearing.

Idea for Knitting DIY... Burgundy Sweater

Between  Fall/Winter 2012-2013 trend   on burgundy and leather and my prized possession  burgundy Chanel 2.55 bag you can say that I have burgundy moment this season.  I knew this color is coming back, so I knitted this sweater and now cannot wait for the cooler weather to come when I can wear it.

The reason I called it an "idea for knitting DIY" is because I am not really explaining how to complete this project from the beginning to the end.  However, those who do knit, will know how I did it just by looking at the picture.  I made a design of this sweater with wide collar and really like how it came out.  I decided on emphasizing wide sweater collar even more with additional embellishment - rope I knitted out of very thin lurex yarn.  This is just another idea for upcoming Fall/Winter and endless opportunities in DIY world.
