One Perfect Morning

IMG_2505IMG_2507

whenever winter has come in the past, i find myself giving up on trying to dress for myself and give in to only dressing for warmth (i'm a BIG baby when it comes to being cold). i'm making a valiant effort this year to not sacrifice the way i want to dress only because a heavy jacket and winter accessories are thrown into the mix- i'm actually looking forward to the challenge of layering and mixing textures like i've never done before! my winter clothing collection is minimal to none- living in southern california for most of the past 6 years put a real damper on buying any true winter pieces- i just never saw the point to buying something i was so reluctant to wear, anyway. i can't wait to invest in some sweaters/jackets/tights/jeans/etc! slowly but surely i will accumulate an acceptable winter wardrobe. this anthropologie sweater is one of my only winter pieces- i LIVED in it last year!

*wearing velvet burnout sheer top from fashion district, h&m velvet leggings, thrifted leopard print slip-ons, anthropologie sweater, vintage fish necklace from atlantis home.

I know exactly what you mean! Being from Hawaii, I wasn't used to the whole idea of dressing for warmth. It's always hot where I live. Literally. And I felt as if a heavy jacket, rain coat, and all that jazz would put a damper on the way I felt like dressing. But, then again, I didn't want to get frostbite! Now I welcome the challenge as well! I love getting the opportunity to wear sweaters and knits without dying of heat! Now I realize I have TONS. :D Thanks for the great post!
