Normally in December I'd like to reach for a cosy sweater and settle in with a cup of hot chocolate. But the recent balmy weather calls for something else (I spent yesterday walking the beach in a t-shirt). Herein lies the typical Hong Kong conundrum: how to dress for winter when it's 75º?
My solution: the winter floral.

This Christopher Kane skirt is the perfect way to add a winter color pallet without the warmth or bulk typical of the season. Pairing it with a VAUGHAN black silk blouse keeps it from being too summery (an emerald green shirt works well too). A corset style belt does wonders for your waistline and adds a bit of polish while white jade jewelry brightens the look from the waist up. Punchy studded pumps keep the whole thing from looking too serious.
My girlfriends in New York: add tights and a soft cashmere coat for battling frigid commutes.
