Yes, the frigid and icy winter months make us want to crawl into our beds and hibernate until April showers bring warm, May flowers. But hey, just because we have to suffer through the cold winter doesn’t mean that the quality of our outfits has to suffer too! With the temperatures dropping low, it is the perfect time to step our outfit game up. The easiest way to make sure that you have all the elements of a cute outfit while still staying warm and cozy is to add layers to your look.
This outfit, worn by another Illinois State Fashionista, features a variety of neutral tones combined to create a simple, cozy, winter look. Her army green jacket not only kept her free from the cold, but also added to her casual, layered look. The ripped jeans are a simple addition to the piece that add an edgy vibe to the ensemble. Turtlenecks, like any trend, have had their highs and lows throughout fashion history. Having significantly made their way back to the spotlight this season, it’s no wonder that this Fashionista is having no trouble rocking one—not to mention they are one of the best ways to stay warm! This Fashionista sports a light brown turtleneck in her ensemble, paired with a simple jacket. The two colors complement each other, giving off a simple, daytime feel.
Another element to this Fashionista’s outfit is her light grey booties. These booties are very versatile, making a great addition to a simple, daytime outfit like this, while also having the ability to be paired with a fancier, nighttime look.
To distract from her otherwise neutral color scheme, this Fashionista paired her outfit with brightly colored lips to create an eye-catching yet effortless statement within her outfit. In addition, her matching, bright nails also draw the eye. These details, though they might be small, can really pop and add an incredible amount of interest to your look.
This outfit contains so many simple elements, which would make it incredibly easy to mix and match to conform to any occasion! It would even be easy to swap out the turtleneck for a tight-fitting shirt, a light sweater, or even a different colored turtleneck, creating different looks each time. This outfit is so perfect for grabbing a casual lunch, getting together with friends on a chilly day, or even just being outside in the cold. No matter the occasion, this outfit has her bundled up, looking fabulous, and ready to go!
