Top 10 Cold Weather Must Haves

Now that the temps are falling, do you find yourself struggling to come up with cute outfits that make you feel good & keep you warm at the same time?  Sweaters are great, but we tend to feel frumpy wearing sweaters every single day.  The trick is layering (you knew I was gonna say that, didn't you?)  here are just a few things you need to do the trick:
  1. Long sleeve t-shirts in all the basic colors (black, white, brown, grey); throw these under most any lighter weight top.
  2. Tank tops will do the same; whether they're visible or not they'll keep ya warm
  3. Leggings: perfect under a tunic, sweater, or just for lounging around the house!
  4. A statement coat (step out of your comfort zone with a bright color or pattern).
  5. Elbow length gloves- fingerless or bright colored. Last year's standard-length gloves simply just won't do.
  6. Eternity scarves, one of the season's key accessories- layer it over a dress, coat, or winter sweater!
  7. Opaque tights (we have them in almost every color you can imagine!) Great with a fall dress you can't bear to put away.
  8. A quirky clutch purse. Make a statement at your next holiday party; embellishments and ruffles are the season's top trends!
  9. A colorful wool scarf- the easiest and warmest way to brighten up an outfit (and we've got plenty to go around!)
  10. Statement jewelery- whether it's a bib necklace or a stylish cuff bracelet, nothing says winter like an eye-catching piece of jewelry!
