So here in Michigan, winter has finally decided to show up and show all the way out! It has been freezing and to be honest, I haven’t truly been in the mood for dressing up. In fact, I haven’t been in the mood to even go anywhere!! Yea, it’s that cold! If it doesn’t involve my pajamas, I’m not that thrilled about the destination lol. I guess it’s safe to say that my mood is properly expressed in this outfit, all black everything.
Beyond expressing my mood, there is genuine comfort in my look. Being lazy as I was, I still put thought into the look but I wanted to be cozy cute! My top…thrifted Goodwill, my pants…leather leggings by American Apparel and my boots from CiciHot are all layered in one of my fave winter coats purchased years ago from Burlington. This coat is 100% wool and boasts genuine fox fur around the collar and sleeve endings. Ahh, the warmth the fur adds to these places on the coat is truly unbelievable! A good faux fur works just as well if you’re fur conscious. I’ve had my coat for almost 20 years so it may be harder (unless thrifting) to find a coat like this for 99 bucks like I did! Needless to say, that’s the source of my style this winter, warmth and comfort. Don’t be afraid to wear comfort instead of “fashion” for style when it’s cold. Style when done organically, will ALWAYS outdo forced fashion trends. My lip color is bold, made to pop out against the shadowing darkness of the all black. Let me know what you think! Please join me back here tomorrow for “Style Lusts” and a surprise post later…
