FASHION TIP: HOW TO STAY WARM & STYLISH IN THE WINTER

I am not the biggest fan of the winter season. Yes, because of the cold weather and the fashion, at least for me.The bummy and lazy look doesn't work so well for me; I just really enjoy taking care of my appearance, so the "sweatpants and UGG boots" look is just a no-no. However, the thing is, I find it so hard to look well put together during this winter season. Like how can you look really good and warm at the same time? Thank God for Pinterest and Instagram models/bloggers, I have seen the LIGHT and today I want to share some of these tips with my sisters who also struggle with fashion during the winter season. I hope you enjoy it!

1. INVEST IN A GOOD COAT
We cannot start this conversation about winter fashion without talking about coats. It is an essential! Investing in a good quality, warm winter coats that can get you through the brutal cold is really important. Style is important but quality and warmth outweigh style in this case. What is the point in getting a really stylish coat when it cannot keep you warm and comfortable. Always go for something simple with delicate details. I am currently loving the belted coats and boxy/boucle type jackets.

2. BRIGHTEN UP YOUR LOOKS WITH SCARVES
Because most of us tend to go for coats in neutral colors (black, grey,caramel), it is best to brighten up our looks with good looking scarves. I have always depended on scarves to bring some life into my looks and they have not failed me yet! Invest in some good colorful warm scarves, to wear with your coats! Large plaid scarves are trendy right now.

3. LET YOUR BOOTS DO THE TALKING!
I am have been so obsessed with booties and knee high boots this year!!! They just do everything and more for any outfit. They make you look like you put so much effort into looking good. They are super stylish, sophisticated, fun, trendy, I am just so in love. Sucky thing about knee high boots for people with wide calf is that, it is so hard to find a pair that fits you well! :(

4. MASTER THE ART OF LAYERING
This is also an essential and a money saver tip for my fellow broke and on budget fashion lovers. Layering helps you stay warm and it also helps you incorporate your summer and winter clothing. Just throw a sweater over a shirt or a dress and go on with your business!

 5. TURTLENECKS

 Turtlenecks are a must have item in every closet!!! I am LOVING turtlenecks this year. Every turtleneck look i have seen so far just slays!(snap, snap). It adds so much character to an outfit, I LOVE! I like the fact that you can layer up underneath it. No scarf is necessary, throw on your coat and a good pair of boots and you are good!

 6. HATS
I am not a beanie kinda girl, I think it looks weird on me but I absolutely love it on other people! Beanies are so cute. However if you are like me and beanies aren't your thing either, wide brim fedora hats got you boo! I think I have mentioned several times on this blog how much I love how fedora hats complete a look. It is not an essential but it won't hurt to give it a try...

I hope these tips didn't come too late and they help you out this winter. Stay warm guys!!
