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).

    I so understand this. I moved from South Africa (where we have really mild winters) to Germany … woweee, I never knew what cold was til I moved … my head still reels when I think about it.
    Love the scarf 🙂

    These are all absolutely darling! I've been a HUGE fan of driving gloves this year…H&M has some really swell ones. I got a cute winter fedora and wool cloche (hats are a must in MN) at Target recently…now I just need to take out my chunky scarves!
