I adore this look from Chronicles of Frivolity.  It’s classic and impeccably chic.  The oversized scarf is belted as a cape over casual separates for an outfit that’s perfect for traveling, weekend brunch, or casual Friday.

One. A simple black sweater is a perfect piece for three-season wear.  This crewneck sweater is a tunic length to wear with skinny jeans.  Need a v-neck?  This Gap Eversoft Sweater is an excellent choice.

Two. If I had to rank my 2014 purchases, these black Paige jeans would be in the top five.  Without a doubt.  Need something under-$100?  These NYDJ Alina jeans are a great place to start.  Need something in plus-size? The NYDJ brand makes these chic Jade skinny jeans.

Three. We talked about my love of aviators yesterday, so I won’t belabor the point.  However, if you need something more affordable, these Mango sunnies are a good place to start.

Four and Five. An oversized watch and an open cuff make a sparkly statement.  I chose this discounted Michael Kors watch for its modern look and affordable price.  The feather cuff is a little larger than I wanted, but still lovely.  Looking for something smaller?  This pave Michael Kors cuff has a really cool shape.  I also like this delicate Kors bracelet for under-$50.

Six. I’m not crazy about the leopard belt with this outfit, but this Banana Republic belt is a solid choice.  Personally, I would have chosen something like these metal front belt or this studded belt.

Seven. Oh, how I love a giant scarf. A scarf so big that when you wear it, it looks like it might swallow your head.  This cape certainly qualifies, and wearing it wrapped around the shoulders gives you a stylish and modern look.

I like this grey-stripe scarf from ASOS, but I bought this ivory, charcoal, and pewter one for myself.  For $38, I couldn’t say no.  IF you prefer something in a less severe color palette, this purple and navy tartan from Jen is a great choice.  (Just five left!)

Eight. I am blown away by this Kate Landry satchel.  All stop, this is the nicest under-$100 bag I’ve seen this year.  It comes in black, cognac, two shades of metallic, and red.  This spotted hair calf satchel is also a lovely choice.  Need something under-$50?  This faux-leather tote from Forever21 is so sleek.

Nine. I’m not sold on over-the-knee boots.  Mostly because I think they’re not flattering on most figures, and if you have a serious job, are there enough opportunities to wear them to justify the price?  But I like these Loeffler boots that just cover the knee.  These Vince Camuto boots are a more affordable option at $100.  Or just got for a pair of tall boots and pick up these Corso Comos.
