Dress for the Snow

As the snow keeps falling the days I'm able to wear dresses out of the house are dwindling. Today I layered my tights again with leggings, my thigh high socks, rain boots and took to the snow.  I wanted to dress this dress down a bit by pairing them with my rain boots. I added a skinny belt to create a bit more definition at my wait and accessorized with gold jewelry and accents. 

I arrived in DC Grand Central terminal and as I waited for my cousin to arrive, I discovered they had a H&M. So of course I went in, Large suitcase and all, to try some things on. I tried this dress on but it was a bit too small  :(. Fast forward a few days, the day after Christmas to be exact, I'm in another H&M and find the dress in my size :D. So I just had to take it home, plus it was 50% off the already marked sale price. The long sleeve and sweater material make it a perfect skater dress for F/W.  What's your perfect winter dress look like?

Winter Shorts

Let's talk about the star of this outfit, the shorts. I bought these shorts at +Crossroads Trading Co. before I left for NY for fashion week in September. So needless to say I've had these for 6 months and this is the first time I've worn them. As with most of my unique thrift finds I fell in love with these shorts as soon as I put them on. I love the color and the spike detailing down the side. They're Leather. They're Vintage. They're Great. 

To wear shorts in the winter, one must layer, layer and layer some more. Today I layered my nike leggings with a pair of Kushyfoot tights and my Forever 21 socks. And of course on top I layered my 3/4 sleeve Zara sweater with a long sweater from +H&M and my staple winter coat. Would you rock shorts this winter? And if so how? Comment below.

Camel Coat in the Snow

I woke up to snow and it was beautiful. As a woman who has NEVER lived where it snows, I've had a "I could never" attitude about it. Mainly just hearing the horror stories of walking or driving in the snow. Moving to the east coast in the winter, clearly I wasn't going to escape the snow. This was my first time I've been excited to be in the snow. Living here I realized it's really not that bad. Needless to say it was pretty cold outside today. I made sure to layer up with my camel coat my mom sent me, my H&M sweater and long sleeve denim shirt. I opted for my suede booties and some printed socks to add an extra element to my outfit. And as usual I accessorized with layers of gold jewelry.

Layers: Floral and Stripes

Today I'm in DC visiting my Cousin for the holidays. It was a bit chilly today, not as cold as NY, thank God, But cold enough for a few layers. So I opted for two long sleeve layers jeans and my over the knee boots. As soon as I bought this sweater from H&M, on sale of course, I knew I wanted to pair it with my black and white striped shirt. It's sort of mixing prints and you all know I love to mix a print. But I'm really into striped and florals lately. How are you mixing prints this winter?
