outfit anatomy: dressing for the cold

As a seasoned Northeasterner, I've experienced my fair share of frigid temps and ever-dreaded snow. I've resorted to puffy coats and weatherproof boots far too many times to mention, and usually let style fall by the wayside when winter works its powdery magic.

But when looking like a bundled up marshmallow simply won't do, here is my recipe for cold weather outfit perfection that is every bit as warm and toasty as its bulkier counterpart:

How do you stay warm when cold weather strikes?

5 holiday party outfit ideas

Every year, the holiday season inevitably morphs into a lively, seemingly endless string of celebrations. As fun as it may be, it can get chaotic at times—especially when it comes to your outfit.

Look #1: Sequins are practically synonymous with “holiday.” Break out your sequined best alongside winter white for a grown-up take on glitz.

Look #2: If the lightest and darkest colors in your closet are jet black and obsidian, then adding a little cheer to your look can be pretty tough. Fret not: Chunky gold baubles will add a healthy dose of sparkle to any LBD.
