Cold Weather Style
I posted earlier this month some outfit ideas for cold weather, but recently came across a New York Times article on winter style I thought was interesting. According to NYT, we’ve started to oust the traditional wool overcoat in favor of layers, down puffer jackets, heavy sweaters and fur trimmings. “What has emerged in place of the cold-weather garment, as these ladies point out, is what can best be described as urban ski bunny chic: a series of pieces that were once reserved for the Aspen ski lodge, but have this season infiltrated the collections of youthful, forward-thinking designers.”

Don’t let the cold weather deter you from dressing your most fashionable – in fact, it’s the perfect excuse to layer, wear faux fur, don cute boots and accessories, and bring out your urban ski bunny chic!

Hear hear! Warmth & style can live together in harmony!
And I hated puffer coats for so long but now am an owner of two. My wool coat hardly is worn because I have found the ski chalet look to be far more fun as well as functional when we have wet yet frigid days!
