Winter Wonderland

Just because the temperature is dropping, doesn't mean you have an excuse to let your fashion sense drop as well! Please, my fellow fashionistas, do not bundle up in just anything. One of the most common reasons winter-wear is not always the most stylish of items, is because it is unflattering. Make sure you try to avoid items that make you appear chubbier than you actually are, such as thick mittens, baggy sweatshirts or certain snow boots.

There are so many chic varieties of winter wear out there, it just takes a little bit of effort. We recommend investing in a knee-length wool coat, this length will help slenderize your body, rather than chop it in half. Or, if you have room in the budget- a fur coat is best! That is one winter item that always reads "glamorous".

Also, Accessories make an outfit that much better, so have fun with them! Add broaches onto your hats, scarves, or sweaters. Wear chunky jewelry over your gloves and turtlenecks. Keep in mind that gloves are much more flattering to your hands than mittens are.
Do not be afraid to wear skirts and dresses. By layering dresses over tights, you can keep your legs toasty and also stay chic! That way you can still wear your favorite heels all winter long. This season there are some great textured tights out there.

I don't know if its the fact that the city lights are covered in a layer of glittering snow, but metallics always seem chicer in the winter. Try to mix them up, silvers, bronzes, and golds. Metallics pair wonderfully with creams, blacks, and plum.

How do you stay stylish in the icy weather?
