The plummeting temperatures present a unique opportunity to mix and match unexpected pieces. This season is all about creating new layered looks with the pieces already in your wardrobe.

Never underestimate the power of your local thrift store in developing a unique wardrobe; it is these unique pieces which define a look and give an outfit a voice.
