Winter Uniform

I think it’s absolutely imperative to have a seasonal uniform, or “go-to” outfit. There are some days when I don’t want to think about what I’m going to wear at all, when any effort required is much too much, and yet I still have to look respectably put-together. It is on these days that I pull out my uniform.

This past summer, it was this. For winter, I have a new formula. They key is to stay warm and comfortable, while maintaining a chic silhouette:

Classic (camel) coat + flattering scarf + something leopard/vintage (or both) + sunglasses = bring it on, December!

Of course, I won’t be able to wear cute little shoes for much longer. Nor will a simple wool coat be enough once the snow hits. But don’t you worry, I’ll have a new formula for you once January rolls around 😉

One more thing – sunnies are a must! They are not just for summertime! I rarely used to wear sunglasses in the winter, and that was a big mistake. Sunglasses protect your eyes from stark winter light, they hide your hibernation dark circles, and they just look so chic with a turned up coat collar.

Have a wonderful rest of your week xo
