I think that I am just now figuring out how to dress for cooler weather. Layers are key as are fun coats and accessories because unfortunately, that is all most people ever see of you in Winter. Also, let me say this. I think the worst giveaway of an outfit is a handbag. It is really the only thing you cannot afford to skimp on if you are wanting to look pulled together. I’m not saying go out and get some ridiculous giant Prada emblazoned nonsense. Vintage can work great. Just don’t buy your handbag at Marshalls. How the heck did I get on that tangent when I’m not even sporting a handbag in these photos…oh yeah Winter! The best part about getting a hat or a coat or a purse that you really love for Winter is that you almost look forward to bundling up. That is how I feel everytime I put on this striped, swing coat number. It’s originally from Zara but I got it at Beacon’s closet so I’m guessing it is from last season. The best part…I traded it in for four jackets that I never wear that were taking up valuable space in my eensy weensy New York closet. 

Beacon’s closet is amazing, it combines my two favorite things; getting rid of stuff I don’t want and “acquiring new things” (a civilized way to say shopping.)
