Buffalo check is such a classic for winter! I’ve owned this skirt for YEARS (last seen here & here) and typically wear it at least once each winter. This year, I decided to update my favorite winter print with some chic new accessories.

BERET
Berets have been trending for the past two years and in that time they’ve become a staple in my wardrobe. They’re not only chic but, they do a great job of keeping my head warm too. Pairing a beret with my buffalo check skirt gives a fresh take on this classic winter outfit.
HIGH WAISTED SKIRT
I purchased this skirt quite a while ago. At the time it wasn’t trendy to wear high waisted skirts/pants so this skirt actually sits just above my hips. In order to make my skirt more current, I wore a belt as tightly as I could so the skirt would sit higher up on my waist.
STYLE TIP
So many trends depend on how lose or tight, high or low, or how long or short a garment is. If you can tweak it, it’ll save you the trouble of having to purchase a new piece. Try cuffing a pair of pants to create a shorter hemline, or un-cuff a pair of pants you now wish were longer. Also, try wearing a belt to make your skirts sit higher on your waist like I did here. If you wish a top was shorter try tucking the bottom edge of the shirt under your bra to create a shorter hemline.
GUCCI BELT
I picked up this belt two years ago and it quickly became my go-to. The black belt and gold buckle match just about everything. Plus, this trendy belt not only allows me to wear my skirt higher up on my waist, but gives a fresh look to a skirt I’ve owned for years.
OVER THE KNEE BOOTS
I’ve worn my OTK boots with this skirt before, but wearing my skirt higher up on my waist makes this combination feel fresh. Plus, my OTK boots are a chic way to stay warm and they pair so nicely with a beret!
