I talked a bit about embracing my personal style a few weeks ago and today’s outfits (there are two of them!) go hand-in hand with that post… Today we’re talking about my go-to winter uniform of sorts! Or perhaps an outfit equation is a better term… I’m not wearing the exact same thing every day (well, some days I am, haha), but I’ve got a few key pieces that make me feel pulled together instantly!
For me, it’s all about the statement coat and a fun pair of booties. Underneath, all you really need is a simple sweater or tee and some cropped denim! Remember this outfit and this one, too? They both follow the same style equation!
I talked about my philosophy when it comes to great ankle booties in this post. I’ve got similar sentiments about the statement jackets… I’m all about the outerwear! When you’re living in a place like Chicago or New York, coats and jackets are everyday requirements for pretty much 8 months of the year. For me, variety is essential! I always try to pare down my coat collection, but having a wide range of outerwear options is key for me feeling inspired by my wardrobe all winter long. Needless to say, most cleanouts are unsuccessful and my coat closet is still packed to the brim. Ever-growing, too!
