Frigid Fashion

Staying warm in this frigid winter weather can be difficult.  Especially when one is taking outfit pictures outside in the elements!  Today’s post is short and sweet and I must admit that I was trying really hard not to grimace while taking these shots.

One thing I’ve realized is that scuba material (neoprene) is quite warm, especially if its thick.  Today’s post features one of my favorite ASOS purchases – a bright pink neoprene skirt. Similar here!

When paired with fleece lined tights, the wind was somewhat bearable as I posed.  I also layered a turtleneck under my tweed jacket.

My biggest secret for keeping warm is layering.

Layering 1WHAT you are layering makes a HUGE difference though.  I’ve been layering my athletic workout wear – think dark fitted tops and leggings – under my everyday outfits – even jeans!  These types of fabrics were designed to hold in heat and provide an extra layer of protection against the cold.  They are also totally unnoticeable!

Under this fab jacket, I have on a Qualifier Turtleneck by Under Armour.  It looks great and keeps me warmer without the bulk!

I found this adorable necklace at my local Bealles Outlet.   For those of you not familiar with Bealles, it is a discount clothing store that carries clothing, shoes, jewelry, bags and home goods.

Their prices are great and their jewelry is cute, fashionable and cheap! I always find great deals on cute pieces there.

Today’s post was inspired by and features a necklace I bought there earlier in the week. It doesn’t have the weight of a JCREW piece but for $10.00, I thought it was very well made and super cute!
