I saw these two pieces hanging together in the closet and they reminded me of an outfit in one of J Crew's fall catalog, where a model wore a maroon skirt and turtleneck together with a leather belt. I've never really gone for total monochrome before, but I kind of like the faux-dress-effect produced by two same-color pieces tucked into one another. Unrelated: I wish my street weren't looking so glum! We took these in the "golden hour," which lately has been more like "the hour of fog and dreariness." Okay, done with my whine :)
P.S. I helped the amazing Sal with a feature on workwear across a spectrum of jobs--you can read here, if you're interested.

Super Cute, Love the Color!!1
I totally thought it *was* a dress! Very pretty. I like the beige and brown accents--the cowl looks so cozy with this outfit!
I thought this was a dress! Way to go, confusing me!! Haha. Love the look! :)
I ripped that page out of the J Crew catalog months ago! It was by far my favorite look and you nailed it here! Love it.
The colour looks good on you, I love the scarf too it's fabulous. If I tried to take pictures on my street I'd be blown away it's so windy right now it's crazy.
I was going to comment and say "great dress" but it's two different pieces. I love the combination!
I think that's soooo super adorable!! -Meg
Love the monochrome outfit! I love doing monochromatic looks! :)
I love this outfit, and totally thought it was a dress. Lovely colour and great belt!

Haha, me too. It totally looks like one dress.
I totally thought it was a dress! And don't worry, the snow looks lovely in your pictures, not gloomy at all!
You are making me ACHE for that cowl! So cute.
And thanks again for contributing to the feature, lady!
New follower here. Just stopping by to say I love your blog!!
You look sooo cute! It really does look like a dress, and I think the whole look is just divine.
I assumed it was a dress - that is some impressive color matching! You always pull off J. Crew-ish looks so well!
That cowl looks amazing, and I thought you were wearing a dress until I read the post.
Super cute!
Just like everyone else, I totally thought it was a dress!!

Very pretty. I thought it was a dress since they match so well. The contrast of the pretty creams in great textures is wonderful with it too!
I say your street looks quaint and inviting for the record.
that scarf is fabulous!!!!
Ohh I thought it was a dress you were wearing! Very nice pairing with the cowl. It looks great with that color!! =)

Love your outfit, at first glance I thought it was a dress. Your nails really 'make' the outfit I think.
Saw you on Already Pretty! Great contribution on a great topic!
Such an amazing dress, I love it!

The scarf looks so snuggly! Best get on to knitting mine for winter...although with this weather I could probably use it now...hrrmm...
Also, loving the 'faux' dress idea too! Nice work girl!
You worked the mono-chrome. Love the belt too, I've seen that style all over the place. New reader, new commenter, Bekah- Matters of Merrymaking
You look so cozy!
I would have sworn this was a dress! Great outfit.
Oh I love the burgundy red, so pretty!
I really thought this was a dress - it looks amazing!!
And am I the only one that wishes my street looked like that in winter?! I'm just jealous of your snow...
I'm loving the monochrome look! Burgundy is the perfect color for winter.
CUTE! I definitely thought that it was a dress! I have those socks too ;) ;)!

Hey Tania! Super cute outfit as always! :)
Re: Formspring meanie (I can write more here versus formspring/twitter!)- You have a fabulous blog with tons of followers and super cute clothes. Don't stop what you're doing and don't let mean people get you down. For every 1 meanie there is, there's hundreds of fans, don't forget that!
And PS. I love your poses, you always look so natural and not posey-posey. I don't know what the jerk was talking about, have they never watched ANTM? It's like pigeon-toe central! LOL.
Me lo gusto mucho, especialmente el coordinacion de ese colores! :)
For some reason monochromatic dressing is very appealing at the moment. Cute outfit!
I want to steal that cowl and those socks from you. Actually, I sort of know how to knit, so maybe I should just make my own cowl. And socks. If I have time. Knitting socks is kind of difficult.
Great outfit. I love the dress.

Ha I actually thought this was a dress... you look great! :) And I am getting tired of the dreariness as well! Bring on spring!
Look at you clever thing, making a dress like that :)
The maroon skirt and sweater look perfect with the cream scarf. I really love all of the layering you did in this outfit too - very adorable!
The scarf is amazing!!!! The whole outfit is AMAZING! :D
Like so many others said, I didn't realize this wasn't a dress. So I was like, "Of course it's monochromatic!" Very cute. The belt makes it, I think.
I totally thought this was a dress until I read what you wrote about it. I like this, and I especially like that you borrowed this idea from a j crew catalog. Nice stylin'! :)
Better Than a Milk Mustache
I love the socks! I love the dress you created! I love the belt! I love the scarf! :)

I have that same belt- I love it!!! Even though your street looks grey, you look wonderfully bright and cheery!!
That cowl is so cute! I keep seeing those kinds of scarves on etsy and have been desiring one for myself. Fun that you found one that cute at gap! Love it!

I love this look. There is something so lovely and refreshing about all of your simple outfits.
I love the comnination of those colours, you look very natural and beautiful, kiss from prague
I love the color combo here and that cowl looks so freaking good on you!
Oh i didn't even notice it was two separates at first-definitely thought it was a lovely maroonish dress! Tricky tricky:) And I feel you on the gray dreary-ness...it's another very, very cold, snowy day in Ohio for me!
Tall socks with tights. I love it.
I didn't realize it was a shirt and skirt! So cute! I'm totally stealing this idea for an outfit. ;)
oooo I have those same socks from Target and I love them! they come up so high which I love!
