i dream of outfit

Winter can be gross with the grey snow and freezing temperatures, but a highlight for me is the color palette. Maybe because I am a Capricorn baby but I love wearing the muted colors associated with fall/winter, like oxblood red, forest green and camel. Besides the color, you also have wonderful winter materials like thick wool, leather and corduroy (materials that would make you very uncomfortable & sweaty in summer heat). I created a really cute outfit that I believe incorporates the best winter fashion statements.  

Every outfit begins with a thickly-knit white sweater...thus begins our journey.

And with every winter outfit, you must learn to master "layering". I love this green corduroy overall with its opening on the sides. 

To fight the shapeless-ness of your winter outfit, elongate your legs with nude platform heels. I enjoy nude heels because they match all your outfits. 

To finish your cute outfit, wear this light brown leather tote. The scalloped edges provide a youthful feel, because I personally dress like a 14-year-old girl.

winter textures

This winter, I find myself craving leather pants and fuzzy sweaters to soothe my fears of the icy winds outside. Recently, I really appreciate leather pants and leggings. They fulfill the needs of my inner motorcycle badass that only developed after I watched Easy Rider. To soften the inevitable intimidation that ensues with leather accessories (because of course I am extremely intimidating, all 5'2" of myself), I add (with lack of a better word) fluffy white tops. Let the pictures speak for themselves about the compatibility of these two textures. 

I have been searching for the perfect angora cropped sweater since fall. One day, I WILL find you.

The leather skirt/pants are slimming and they refine your outfits because I know we are all trying to combat the "just getting out of bed" look.

For those of us who cannot get enough of leather. And have incredible bodies. 

If you haven't fallen in love with leather textures (or don't feel comfortable trying this new trend), then let this editorial inspire you.
