I shopped my own closet and this is what I came up with.  I was really happy with the classic color combination and the easy sophistication of the outfit.  I’ve been wanting to try my knee-high boots with my cropped pants and was happy to find they looked quite cute together (though it’s a bit hard to tell in the photos).

Outfit details:
Ivory moto – Members Only (TJ Maxx)
Winter white sweater – Charter Club (Macys)
Cropped pants – Old Navy Pixie pants
Knee-high boots – Aerosoles
Bag – London Fog (Marshalls) 
Glasses – Readers.com

Hope you all are having a wonderful week!
