Even as it starts to get warmer here in Boston there are still some serious wardrobe challenges. For one thing, the taller-than-me snowbanks are starting to melt so it’s wet everywhere. This means I have to keep wearing boots which significantly restrains my outfit options. But once in a while I can sneak in a look like this.

The concept is still pretty basic, a sweater, a skirt, and some booties. But the contrasting textures, metallic knit and leather, elevate the look from my usual snow ensembles.
