Scottish Kilts And Cable Knits

This is a special post for all my Outlander fans out there. If you read the blog regularly, you know that I am absolutely in love and obsessed with the show and book series Outlander. So, when Hot Topic announced it's very own line of Outlander inspired clothing, I couldn't pass it up. Now, I know that you're probably thinking that I can't possibly call myself a fashion blogger and wear clothes from Hot Topic. While it is true that a lot of their clothes have a costume look to them, they hit the mark with the Outlander collection. Most of the pieces are very wearable. By that, I mean you can walk down the street in them and not look like you're going to a Halloween party.

The first piece I got my hands on was this skirt that is made to resemble a Scottish Kilt. I think it is super cute and, if styled correctly, very fashionable. I decided to pair it with a simple black long-sleeve shirt and some black booties, and that gave it a kind of 70s vibe. It would also look great with some tights underneath if it actually gets cold where you are. I also decided to keep the accessories to a minimum because the skirt has so much detail. Between the buckle on the front and the pleats in the back, it's really all you need. 

The other piece that I bought was this gorgeous, super soft cable knit poncho/cape. If Winter ever does come here, I am going to live in this thing. It is so cozy and, surprisingly, very well-made. I love the color because it is very on trend right now, and it goes with practically everything. Also, it has the cutest detail of a thistle on the buttons which gives it a nice little Scottish touch.

These two pieces are seriously two of my most favorite things in my closet right now. If you want to snag one or both of them for yourself, click here.
