What's a Tweed Exactly??!

Fashion inspires fashion, so today I headed over to one of my favorite lifestyle blogs, Cupcakes  & Cashmere, to pick her brain or her blog rather for some fashion envy posts.  Living in the skirt world, I love to see how others are wearing their favorite non-bifurcated (two legs) garments.  Her tweed and stripes outfit caught my eye...

 For a speckle wool look, check out the Speckle Wool Tweed!  

So what is a tweed exactly?  A tweed is a smooth wool with a homespun appearance.   The interesting color effect is made by twisting together multiple colored woolen strands.  Tweed is not a pattern, like a herringbone, though it is often woven into like patterns. 

I love the contrast of the pink belt and yellow skirt.  Below, arrow over to check out the three looks I put together with the Amethyst Wool Tweed, Canary Wool Tweed and the Saffron Silk Tweed with complimentary stripes top.

Sevier Skirts favorite tweeds have a soft luxurious feel.  For a warm wool, they are light to medium in their weight.

Above I have three stripes and tweed looks with different accessories to match.

I paired the Amethyst Wool with its complimentary color: yellow.  These colors are made for each other so pair 'em up any time!  For a casual business look, go for comfortable cheetah flats, brown belt and classic trench.

For the Saffron Silk, I went with a fresh mint to contrast the warm orange.  Throw on riding boots for a casually put together look.

Lastly, I have the Canary Wool Tweed.  Again, yellow and purple are complimentary colors so I went a little outside the purple lines with this cranberry number to set the yellow off.  A red belt is a fun way to tie in the cranberry.  Throw on pumps and you've got another great business casual look!

SOW: Neon Passion Floral!

Let the countdown to warm weather begin!  In one month I think we will have warm weather to stay!  To celebrate, how about a warm weather skirt for our Skirt of the Week?  The Neon Passion Floral is on sale 20% this week!  We are passionate about colors here at Sevier, so of course this fabric caught our eye!

This is a lightweight cotton sateen.  In a swing, this will be your go-to summer skirt!

Pink, orange, neon green, blue, navy, and white are the colors you have to work with.  I am SO excited about our new Michael Stars 2013 Spring Line so I picked a few to match.  Don't be bound by the colors already existing in the skirt.  Purple, green, red, yellow and fuchsia would look fabulous with this skirt, giving you a great pop of color look.

The bubble necklace is a great trend for spring and summer.  I went with white to compliment the white in the skirt.  With a bright outfit, I went neutral with the accessories.

Below, Rachel is rocking the Neon Passion Floral with a black tee.  I love this look on her with her beautiful dark locks!

This is one versatile skirt!  Color or neutrals are a hit so have fun with it!
