Winter got you singing the blues? Is the wind and chill factor so fierce that you need to bundle up but still want to look cute? No problem! These looks will have you looking so cute Jack Frost won’t have time to nip at your nose.
As you head out to go ice skating or sledding as the first snow fall graces your yard this winter, you’ll be heating up the slopes with these winter wonderland must-haves. The first buy you need to kick off your white Christmas is gloves. It seems lots of times if someone’s hands or feet are cold, chances are your knees are knocking and your teeth are chattering because you’re freezing from head to toe!
Just like you put time and consideration into what you wear to school every day, put that same thoughtfulness in your external winterization. Gloves that are lined with cashmere or velour are warm and cozy. Grab yourself a cup of hot cocoa and head out to meet your friends!
If you like designs or solid colors, choose what suits you. As long as you wear whatever you put on with confidence, you’ll always be moving your fashion forward. Scarves and toboggans are great ways to express your personal style. Coats don’t have to be “matchy matchy.” Instead, if you like a few different combinations of color schemes like chocolate brown and hot pink, for example, invest in a blue coat, chocolate scarf and hot pink hat. If you have a big, larger-than-life personality, go for something that compliments the true you. Or if you enjoy a more laid-back approach, choose what exclaims to the world, “This is who I am!” While you’re at it, spread your school spirit. Whether it’s your favorite high school, college or professional team let your true colors shine.
For a YOU-nique one-of-a-kind look, check out your local craft fairs. Crocheted mittens, scarves and toboggans will have your friends demanding to know where you got them! Make sure those tootsies are warm with playful toe socks. Each toe is given a hug with this full- coverage option. If you’re not into a full-on “stocking cap” due to fear of messing up that gorgeous hair you worked so hard on, go for ear muffs. Fleece lined ear warmers will perk your ears right up.
Don’t get your tinsel in a tangle this winter. Mr. Freeze can be kept at bay because you’re bundled up and exuding true beauty.
And heads-up: A great place to get some of these items for your winter wardrobe is Lllbean.
