 I recently styled a party look with a black and white striped sweater with sequin detail and a short black skirt. This striped sweater and midi skirt version was worn last week during Vancouver's few snowy days when I went Christmas shopping and to a coffee date with blogger friend Veronika. My love for black and white striped tops and black skirts is pretty evident at this point but how can I not love a look that can be worn in so many different ways?

In past years I have complained that the holidays fly by too quickly and I never get to enjoy them. This year our tree is decorated, stockings are hung and our advent calendars are in full swing. We decorated a gingerbread house and baked sugar cookies. I use the word "we" very loosely here, although we've both been very involved in the eating step of the cookie baking process.

 A few other ways I've styled this skirt and blouse
