Sunday was a windy one, but I wasn’t ready to make the commitment to tights yet so I layered up on top instead and threw on a hat to keep my hair somewhat in check.  If I want to make it through winter without becoming beyond bored with basic sweaters, I figure I better start getting creative with my layers, and I love the idea of finding new ways to mix up patterns and textures while keeping the bottom half of the outfit solid.
