For a night out at the Winspear Opera House with the family, I decided to wear my new metallic jacquard skirt I picked up from the Simply Stylist sample sale at the W a couple weeks ago. Paired with a J Crew wool sweater and my favorite Milly peacoat, it was such an easy way to dress up for the holidays while remaining comfy and warm in the freezing weather. I have fallen head over heels for all of the fabulous new minis this season – I might have to snag this, this, and this one too!

Though the snow has yet to hit Dallas (fingers crossed!), temperatures have finally started to drop… which means it’s time to bring out the coats! This Elie Tahari shawl coat is my grab-and-go wardrobe essential for chilly days. Dressed up or dressed down, the opportunities to wear it are endless. I tossed it on with some jeans and my Versace scarf for a casual day in the park with the family. What’s your winter wardrobe essential?
