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: Corvina Burnt Orange!

Some skirts are made for work, some for play.  This weeks SOW is made to be worn out and shown off.  This hot number is whats missing from your next date.  The Corvina Burnt Orange is 20% off this week only.  Its not just the deal thats red hot!

This beautifully painted burnt orange velvet is a medium to heavyweight fabric, perfect for the cooler months.  The burnt orange/red backdrop is sultry and warm with a fresh lime and bronze playful paisley print pattern.  The Corvina comes in a Pencil and Classic.

I dressed the Corvina above for your next date night option.  The Corvina speaks loud enough for one outfit to handle.  No need to over-do it up top.  I suggest keeping the top simple with a black, ivory, white, brown, or other neutral color shirt.  I love the soft textured velvet with a contrasting smooth leather, so I went for a simple leather jacket.  Black and brown are two of my favorite colors to wear together so I picked mostly brown accessories to go with the black top.

Booties are all the rage this season.  To change it up, I picked this wooden stiletto heel bootie with a peep toe and buckle.  For any of the items above, click the icons below for pricing and further shopping!
