We all want to be warm when we go out in the winter chill, but preferably avoid being Ralphie's little brother so stuffed with layers that you can't put your arms down. I've got some outfits today to freshen up winter wear during this long season. These are great looks for when you are on the go, needing to be comfortable and warm but wanting to also be stylish. Keep in mind I live in Western Oregon and our climate is fairly mild, so if you were in the Polar Vortex this year don't laugh at me not wearing gloves :)
I've been experimenting with chic looks for fuzzy Ugg-style boots, and this was a winner. The leopard print sweater underneath and faux fur scarf add a touch of glam.
I wore this outfit for a day adventuring around Portland. Comfortable sneakers, a crewneck sweatshirt, and a warm jacket had me feeling warm and ready to move.
I wore this look shopping with my sister, it's a good one for when you'll mostly be inside but want to be warm during those outside transitions. I liked the smidge of edginess in the pop of leopard in the belt, the long necklace, and rolled jeans.
My grandma has been making me these adorable messy bun hats. I love that they keep ears warm while still showing hair, I have this thing about hats which completely hide my hair. I think some color and pattern mixing can make winter layers pop.
Here's the vest and bun hat again with a sweater and leggings for a Sunday afternoon coffee shop visit.
As evidenced by the bangs, this photo was actually taken a couple of years ago in Walla Walla. Ankle booties with a cotton blazer over a sweater nicely walk that line in between dressed up and casual.
I loved that while putting this post together I got to relive my fun outings this winter. I've learned to relax and enjoy reading inside with the fire going, or working on art projects at the table while listening to a great playlist, but I always feel alive on these little adventures, and bundling up to go out is always worth it.

Great winter outfits. I love how you look with bangs!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, love the Christmas Story reference! Hello from a fellow Pacific Northwester in Seattle! I love the messy bun hat -- I hate wearing regular hats over my bun and don't like the ones that just cover the ear -- so that's a great alternative! Stay warm :)
ReplyDeleteAw, you're so cute!!! I am loving the scarves you've picked.
ReplyDeleteI love the green jacket! Also I'm a scarf lover :) Wearing one now!
ReplyDeleteWinter is the best time to experiment with your Shearling Jackets at your casual wardrobe . You’ll probably find that this is the look you end up wearing the most. With the need to layer, your options are endless.
ReplyDeletePerfect blog with every tiny detail. The high-end custom sequin patches are a great source of light and beauty at a reasonable price in this inflated world.
