I’ve sought out the perfect outfit for this month’s topic: style advice. Depending where you go to school, the winter may be brutal. Walking anywhere is almost painful enough without the amount of layers worn that make me feel like a walking marshmallow on campus. Nonetheless, this Fashionista’s outfit inspired my style advice on how to stay warm and stylish while we wait for spring!
As the short winter days dread on, I can’t help but have no motivation to look or feel cute when leaving my dorm. The winter is always tricky style wise because it seems like you have to chose between staying warm or looking cute. Thus, my style advice for the month is to coordinate layers, like this Fashionista happened to do.
The reclaimed vintage ASOS beanie and Smartwool crew socks gave the outfit something to base itself on. Even the burgundy lipstick makes the look essential. Props to her since bold lips are so in right now! The American Eagle Outfitters sweater that absolutely screams “winter,” gives this Fashionista so many opportunities to work with. The colors, fabric texture, and shape (turtleneck) reflects the outfit’s purse, coat selection, and of course, the boots.
As by a winter tradition, these dark L.L. Bean boots are becoming the 2015’s version of the UGG craze. Providing dryness, warmth, and a slick rugged style, the boots show that this Fashionista doesn’t let a little snow get in her way. Not to mention they work perfectly with the patterned sweater that gives off a northeastern U.S. vibe.
Lastly, for that extra needed layer of warmth, this olive puffer jacket from Urban Outfitters doesn’t distract from the outfit, nor is it too puffy to be uncomfortable either! What I love about this outfit is its simplicity to look cute and be warm. My style advice for anyone suffering in the cold winter months is to coordinate your layers! Don’t be afraid to mix and match neutrals and tones to find the perfect aesthetic when covering up!
