winter staples: there's still lots of winter left to live.

 Even though our winter so far has been mild {knock on wood} I have to keep reminding myself that it's still only January and there's still so much winter left to live. I remember having a snow storm the day before the St Patty's Day parade in Hoboken a few years back. So let's get realistic here.

Even if it is too early to get pumped up for spring goodies - we can have a little fun adding some essential winter staples to our wardrobe. Here are my choices for items every girl needs in her winter closet:

1. A classic coat - in black or camel to match everything.
I especially like this one with the hood and toggle closures.
2. A plaid shirt.
Seriously, they go with everything.
3. A warm and cozy sweater. 
Anything Fair Isle print is so in right now.
4. A great leather bag. 
This one in particular is one I have my eye on for the next big purchase!
5. A chunky men's style watch.
Love the dark accents on this one.
6. Weather proof boots.
Even though we may be in the middle of a storm, it's no reason to look like a schlep-rock (that's a term I picked up from D! haha)
