Robert Noble tweed for JCrew skirt 2009
Bosie of Scotland fair isle in Ditsy, Rosebud |
While I love Christmas and the holidays I'm also aware that we need to keep the winter festive feeling going... for many more months. The holiday shopping mindset is a great time to get outfits for Christmas and for the entire winter in order, don't you think?
I have these two fabulous Scottish tweed skirt suits from JCrew 2009, smart jackets and practical skirts, the skirts have an a-line shape and several panels of tweed, making them warm and walkable.
They are so practical to wear, but I'm not always going to wear a tweed jacket, it's far too constricting (and let's face it, difficult to layer underneath a winter coat).
So I had an idea to pair the skirts with some very traditional fair isle sweaters, in co-ordinating colours of course!

| Green tweed and pink wool: PREPTASTIC! |
Bosie of Scotland, have you heard of this brand? So lovely, gorgeous yarns, and everything knitted in Scotland. A match to Robert Noble tweeds pretty much made in heaven!

It was a very obvious choice to pair the green tweed skirt with a pink fair isle, we love the preptastic colours!
How about the red?
I absolutely love this golden yellow with red, I just think it picks up on the vibrancy of the tweed, the slight yellow undertone and general cheeriness.
The interior binding of the skirt (and of the matching jacket) is a golden yellow, giving a good clue to a pairing.
I love these sweaters (jumpers) they are soft and super warm, have a loose (but not ridiculously large) fit, and they make a perfect outfit with the skirts.

If you're interested in sourcing some fair isle from Scotland keep an eye on your calendar,
Bosie is having a Boxing Day sale
(as per usual my links do not generate any commissions or tracking).
I hope your lead-up to Christmas is going well and that you're not going crazy with preparations!
