Winter Essentials

Baby, it's cold outside. Really cold. Iowan weather has dropped to the low 30's and 20's and we are blessed to even get above freezing weather. Even though the temperature has turned colder than ever, doesn't mean we can't look as hot as the sun! There are many articles of clothing that is fashion forward, but can keep us comfortable and warm in this harsh season.

One of my favorite clothes to wear during the winter season is a cardigan. You can style this in a million different ways. You can dress is down with a graphic tee or you can dress it up with a cute button up or a dress. You can layer it with a flannel underneath or put on a scarf with the cardigan. There are also different kinds of cardigans you can buy. There's thick, knitted, loose cardigans or there's thin, fitted cardigans; there's black, white, cream, blue, pink, and every other color of cardigan you can wear; there's long cardigans that go down to your knees and there's short cardigans that stop at your waist. But what ever cardigan you choose or have a preference for, all of them can be styled into a cute and comfortable outfit during the winter season. 

My next essential clothing is a scarf, you can almost always find me wearing a scarf during this time year. Scarves are great winter accessories to wear because they can easily keep you warm and you'll still look fashionable. Knitted circle scarves are all the trend this season and you can find them in all different colors and styles, plus they can keep you extra warm! I love to knit my own scarves because not only am I saving money, I'm also making a one of a kind scarf that no one has made before! I can really aid to my own style. 

The last essential winter item is a good pea coat. You always see big, puffy coats that make that annoying swishy sound every time you move your arms, but it’s time for a change. Pea coats are a must for you winter closet because they are comfortable and cute. The thick material of the pea coat can keep you just as warm as the big, puffy coats and the style of the pea coat is more sophisticated and classy. Plus, you won’t look like an oompa loompa while wearing a pea coat as you would wearing a puffy coat. Of course, if you love wearing the puffy coats, you wear that coat! I just like the look of pea coats much more.

The winter can be harsh and unforgiving, lift up your spirits by wearing a cute winter outfits that can still keep you warm. Happy holidays!
