outfit of the week

when going away for a weekend, your goal is to pack light. in the past i was not known for this (has everyone seen my body bag duffles?!), but since coming to college i believe i have been able to downsize my necessities.

for our trip to philly this past weekend, i knew it was going to be cold, but i didn't want to have to lug around my black peacoat just yet. i decided to go for the safe route: layers. 

burberry scarf, willie smith jacket, uniqlo sweater, wet seal maroon t-shirt

why i love this outfit:

• my burberry scarf. as a christmas gift junior year of high school, this has been one of my favorite scarves. it goes with pretty much everything and keeps me nice and warm. i chose this because the red stripes (which you can't really see here) compliment the maroon top i am wearing
• the jacket. i got this jacket sometime last year, but never brought it with me to college. now that i have though, i am in love. it goes with everything and is a good extra layer to a thin sweater when the weather gets a little nippier
• repeats of some new accessories. my bag from another "outfit of the week" which i wore as a backpack this time and of course, my shoes
