STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Cold Weather Blues

The winter in New York can be a tricky time to show your personal style when forced to bundle up for the chilly temperatures, but this Fashionista has mastered the art of pairing classic cold-weather pieces from her wardrobe. By layering and adding a personal touch with jewelry, accessories and a pop of color, this outfit demonstrates how to stand out and be more than just another face in a sea of black puffer coats this winter!

This Fashionista started her look with a classic pair of faded black jeans and a blue chambray button-down shirt. Shirts like this one are a staple to any wardrobe as they can be worn on plenty of occasions, all year-round. The chambray blue hue is versatile because it can be worn as a neutral, like denim, or as a pop of color against darker shades, as shown in this look. If you don’t already have a chambray shirt, do not hesitate to welcome one into your wardrobe—it’s a piece that’s practically impossible to live without! This Fashionista finished off her look with a chunky, two-toned cardigan that gives a fashionable touch of color and texture to her outfit.

These suede over-the-knee black boots are a trendy and sophisticated touch to polish off this ensemble. Boots like these are extremely versatile and can be worn with anything from jeans to leggings to miniskirts; they are definitely a staple this winter! Other elegant accessories in this look include a silver watch, dainty silver bracelet, ring, belt and leather cross-body bag.

As shown above, this Fashionista is sporting an adorable, customized necklace that was handmade at a jewelry stand in New York City. Jewelry like this can add a truly unique element to any outfit and makes a great gift for the upcoming holidays. I cannot get enough of one-of-a-kind items like this that allow anyone to stand out in a crowd!

As the temperatures continue to drop and the need to pile on even more layers to stay warm becomes a reality, remember that even the simplest of clothing items can look incredibly chic when styled with variations in textures, pops of color and eye-catching accessories as shown above.
