Dressing warm while staying cute! Written by Teresa Lyn

ith the weather getting colder and colder, all we
can think about is piling on the layers, when we leave out the door. The one thing most of us don’t think about is how to look cute while doing so. It’s not hard to change your winter frumpy get up to a frosty fabulous look with a few key pieces, color changes, and must have accessories. Make sure you start every outfit with a fitted cotton piece of clothing as your initial building layer to hold in your body heat. It can be as simple as a fitted tee. Then figure out which coat you have in your wardrobe. If you’re wearing your new loud puffer coat that you couldn’t wait to wear you know that your outfit can’t be loud also. Don’t just stop with picking out a great coat to wear. Whether you’re creating an entire new wardrobe or enhancing the one you already have, a good pair of knee high leather boots, warm fitted and chunky sweaters and long heavy pencil knit or A-line wool skirts are your essential key items to layer while keeping it cute. Use your cozy sweaters to layer over fitted knits, thin sweaters or a button down shirts. You can pair them with your skinny jeans or your long full length skirt. You can pair your high leather boots with cozy socks for that extra warmth with your skinny jeans or use thermals hidden under your full length skirts to be even warmer.
