HOW TO: Stay warm and Still Look Sexy

I did it, I pulled out the wool cardigan this morning.  And despite my winter-is-coming blues I was thanking heavens for my successful layering technique.

Here is what you can do to keep your style hot and fresh while the weather is cold and dismal:

1.  The KILL method a.k.a. The Keep it Layered Lady technique!  Start with a basic tank (my personal faves are Victoria Secret’s PINK tanks, they’re the perfect cut and come in many colours, all year round).  Throw a cashmere, wool or velvet cardigan on top.  You can then pile a slouchy boyfriend blazer on top if your cardigan is tight enough!  (Rolling up the sleeves help to show a little skin and keep things casual).  Then, when heading out, wrap a thick infinity scarf on for good measure. And, I’ll deny this if you ask me but, I wear tights under most of my jeans and trousers!

2. Scarves are your friends!  Everyone has jumped on board to the growing scarf trend this season.  You can wear one with layers or a simple tee and still look yummy.  So keep your tonsils warm by wrapping them up!

3. Hats happen to the best of us!  If you need some help with when or how to wear a hat (properly) click here!

4. Give your hands a hand, cover them up!  I love bold colours for gloves (as they are the smallest part of my body and I like to show them off), so be sure to pick up a pair of cashmere or wool (lined) gloves to keep those puppies warm!  Also, just because you’re covering them up often, does not mean you should stop moisturizing – Glysomed comes in travel size tubes.

5. Last but not least, your feet!  Don’t ever sacrifice your safety in this weather!  Thankfully this fall season, combat boots now come lined with flannel. As for winter, invest in a good pair of water/weatherproof boots and carry your office-suitable boots in a bag.  And if you think it’s embarrassing, think about the social suicide you’d be committing if you took a flip on a patch of ice in your thigh high leather boots, just saying.

Bundle up babes!
