Cold Front

When you live in a place where it can snow 12 inches in 24 hours on a regular basis, bundling up is a necessity.  We moved from a humid Southern climate to upstate NY right after Christmas last year, so it was quite a shock to my system.  I distinctly remember saying to someone that fashion goes out the window in weather like this - it's all about staying warm.  But, this year, knowing what I'm about to face, I am determined to have a more stylish winter!  Here are some affordable accessories that will help me do just that:

1) Lands' End Cashmere Scarf - $40.99

I like to choose bright scarves to give my winter look a jolt of color while adding an extra layer of warmth (and this one is a great price for 100% cashmere).

2) H&M Sequin Beret - $12.95

Just because it's cold outside doesn't mean I have to sacrifice my love for sequins…and this is the perfect way to sparkle in the snow.

3) ASOS Leather & Faux Fur Gloves - $37.74

The leather is practical plus the faux fur will keep me extra toasty & add a dose of glamour.

4) Apt. 9 Maple Retro Square Sunglasses - $16.99

Though it seems like an oxymoron, the combination of sun + snow can be downright blinding…making these oversized frames a stylish solution.

5) J. Crew Wide-Rib Wool Tights - $26.50

On days when I’m feeling adventurous enough to wear a skirt, wool tights are a must for keeping legs warm & protected from the whipping wind.

6) ZARA Elasticized Belt - $14.90

Since I wear my black puffer coat almost every day, I like the idea of adding a utilitarian-style belt on the outside to create a visible waist (so I look less like the Michelin Man).
