a typical winter outfit

north east winters always keep me off guard because it'll be a sunny 50 degree sunday afternoon and you think 'yolo, i dont really need a jacket' but then it's monday and you can't stop that trembling starting deep inside you. i don't know why i always forget about the physical pain i get from the winter cold. anyways i hope this entry gives you that special warm fuzzy feeling to keep those winter winds at bay.

Isabel Marant Sky Sweater

i won't belabor the point. sweaters are pretty important to me. 

Topshop

i don't know why, but i'm really against pants. they restrict my leg movement and i hate the heavy material enclosing my legs. so even if there's snow on the ground, i'm more likely to be doning a skirt made out of thick material like corduroy or a heavy cotton. and of course i chose a pleated skirt ... its just so cute

Anthropologie Popcorn So Soft Thigh Hi

 i'm not just bared-legged in the winter. i pair a combination of tights and thigh-hi socks with my skirts. its layering for my legs! 

i know, this isn't a winter jacket, but i am crazy about anorak jackets right now and technically it's still fall so this jacket is still appropriate ... i hope 

Dolce Vita Jemma Platform Boot

a chunky black boot to keep things interesting

this outfit seems burdened by heavy, thick materials so of course you need to keep everything underneath super light and delicate, but that's just my opinion :)

i hate winter

sweater weather

northeast falls offer great fashion opportunities like layering, scarves, muted color palates and sweaters. i enjoy wearing oversized, thick sweaters with everything, especially with a corduroy skirt and ankle lace-up boots. also i wear lacey bras under my big sweaters so it peaks through when my sweater slouches over my shoulder or just as a surprise :) here is a variety of sweaters featuring my favorite shapes and colors.  

SheInside Navy Long Sleeve Geometric Print Pullover Sweater

The wide crew neck can showcase your collar bones. You can also let the sweater slouch over a shoulder.

Mini-cutouts to prevent overheating plus to allow lacey bras to peek through

Pair your slouchy sweater with a chunky bejeweled necklace and bracelet cuff to add contrasting textures. Also wearing a sweater can offset leg-revealing short shorts.

I love the woven texture of sweaters and can't help falling for it in non-sweater forms

Free People Heathered Highland Boot Sock

I love the delicate eyelet lace that will peek at the top of ankle boots adding a feminine hint

Madewell Wool and Gang Knit Pom-Pom Hat

The red pom-pom contrasts starkly against the muted grey and white tones in the hat

I hope I infected you with the sweater-weather bug
