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:
winter days

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)

  2. I'm so upset that it's going to be so cold this week. I keep asking Dean why we choose to deal with these temperatures and the only positive answer I have is for the winter clothes. I really like these picks!

  4. Everybody just wants to fast forward through January and February because it's just so cold and we all want spring but we still have to keep dressing for winter. I have a hard time of it during these months because I just want spring!

  6. I love that fair isle sweater! I know that winter is far from over, but that doesn't mean I can't dream of spring, right?!

  8. The bag and the flannel are my fave. Such a great combo. I am lucky enough to live in LA, so winter is pretty much fall here. However I did grow up in Detroit my whole life, so I know all about boots, coats, scarves and mittens. One of the biggest challenges is trying to look cute while staying warm and bundled up.
