Fashion,

Wear Winter Whites

There are just about 8 weeks until spring – yes, I’m counting. This week happens to be the coldest week we’ve had all winter in NYC and I’m dreaming of the warm days ahead of us. It might not be time to break out the eyelet dresses and flowy blouses yet but we can embrace winter whites. For a few seasons now, the fashion industry has welcomed this faux pas trend and if you’re still teetering on the idea, hopefully I could sway you in the right direction.

Chunky Sweater

You should already own one (or more) classic/chunky/cable knit/cozy sweaters to pair back to. If you don’t or you’re addicted and want more, here are some I’m loving.

Coat

During the winter, it’s all about the coat. Since it’s the main piece everyone sees while you’re commuting and once you get to your destination, why not make it a good one? It’s great to have one for every occasion, sporty for running errands, a faux fur for a dressy night and a peacoat to style either way.

Turtleneck Top

Winter time calls for layering and there’s nothing better or warmer than a turtleneck tee. You can opt to pair it with a white blazer for a textured look or wear it with head-to-toe shades of white and ivory for a chic monochromatic outfit. E
