Grey and Purple

I got this beautiful purple skirt from Anthropologie years ago, but had a hard time to pair it with a proper top. I want something simple to make the skirt the one and only focus point, something substantial (but not too bulky) to balance the weight of the fully lined material, and something neither too long nor too short. The search ended last week when I found this Theory wool and cashmere sweater.

This sweater is the perfect mate of almost all midi skirts. This classic minimalist sweater hits just below the waist, and it's neither too loose nor too tight. The heather grey color goes with almost everything, especially elegant with the deep purple of this skirt. The textured wool and cashmere blend is warm and soft. It's thicker than most light sweaters, but lighter than those chunky oversized ones. The only concern is that it might be a little itchy for sensitive skin.

I've collected tons of compliments on my skirt and outfit when I walked down the street this morning. But I know it won't look this good without this perfect sweater from Theory. Happy with my new purchase!
