Cold Weather Style: It’s Possible!
January 4, 2012
For those of us in NYC, that warm weather tease from last week is officially over: sweater season is here in full effect! If you woke up this morning and wanted to stay in your warm bed as much as I did, you may also have had a minor conflict choosing what to wear to work or school. Here are a few cute, non-frumpy ideas to keep you warm in the coming cold weather weeks!
Layers, Layers, Layers
from theglitterguide.com
There really is a way to do this without looking like either the little brother from “A Christmas Story” or a fashion-challenged college freshman. The trick with layering clothes is to pay attention to your silhouette when all the layers are on. It helps to make them as light as possible- an undershirt, t-shirt and heavy sweater work better (and are probably more comfortable) than two medium-weight sweaters. Generally, more than one sweater will leave you looking a little bigger than you actually are. If you happen to own lightweight running clothes, they can be a great way to keep warm under a more work-appropriate sweater. They have the advantage of not being bulky or obvious underneath tops and jackets.
Sweater Dress and Leggings
If you’re on your way to a meeting or business lunch, a sweater dress with leggings underneath is certainly an acceptable option IF you make sure of two things:
1) The leggings aren’t too thin (if they are, they might come off as slightly tacky)
2) Your footwear is appropriate (think boots with a slight heel instead of the flats you were going to wear instead). The right heeled boot can really dress up an otherwise casual outfit.
If you think your leggings might not be warm enough, feel free to wear stockings underneath just to have an extra layer.

Half-Price Sweater Season!
December 26, 2011
It’s that time of year again: the post-Christmas sales are here, and with plenty of winter ahead, why not take advantage of them?
from glamour.com: Ann Taylor Winter White Sweater
So which pieces should you go for, and which should you leave aside? You might notice, as you peruse your local department stores and boutiques, that those seasonal fur vests and oversize cowl neck sweaters are WAY cheaper now than they were, say, three or four weeks ago. The drastic discounts are a sure sign of something: retailers are trying to get rid of these pieces now, because they may not be in season next fall.
This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t buy these pieces. By all means, if there’s a big knit poncho you’ve been eyeing that just became affordable, go for it! I simply mean that, before you go ahead and buy tons of ponchos and vests, think for a second. How many outfits can you picture using it with this season? Even more fun to think about: if it was announced tomorrow that everything from this winter was officially “out,” would you still want to wear it, just because you like how it looks?
Before stocking up on the leopard print vests and long belted sweaters this month, start thinking in terms of what you can wear now, as well as what you can transition to your early spring wardrobe in the months ahead…
Happy shopping!
