Accessorizing Your Winter Wardrobe

Looking fabulous on a students budget isn't easy.

This year I had to get very creative with my accessories because purchasing a new winter coat just wasn't in the stars for me. I've put together a few winter accessory ideas for glamming up my trusty, black winter coat from last season!

Tip: When buying accessories get crazy and get trendy! Don't spend to much money because that accessory might be a one trick pony. You can never know what will be on trend next year! I like to spend my big money on basics and classics; then spend a little less on really fantastic accessories.
Keep your ears warm with some cute head gear. Try a knitted turban or some furry ear muffs.
Gloves can be so cute. Here's a tip for gloves: make sure they have leather soles or they are fingerless so you can drive in them!
I have an entire wall of scarves. I wear a different one everyday and I feel like they just complete and outfit.
Every time I see a girl in a hat, I always think she's a little cooler than me. Hat's are cool.
Saved the best for last! Dress up that old winter coat with some spiked shoulder pads or a faux fur lapel!

Just remember to take risks with accessories. They can really add flare to an outfit.

Happy Shopping!

Winter Coat Wish List


Readers of blogs, how I’ve missed you! I’ve been so busy and so crazed with my school schedule that I’ve had to neglect things that are normally on my priority list. For example, cleaning my house went out the window first, naturally. Second came wearing make-up, I ditched that right quick. Next went my social life, I have no idea if my best friends power has come back on since hurricane Sandy, however I do know she is alive and unharmed. I’ve missed two episodes of Son’s of Anarchy and one episode of The Walking Dead. And last and most appallingly, I’ve neglected my blog. I’m sorry, friends.
I’m back with what I think is a very fun post! I’ve shopped around at all my FAVORITE online shopping stops to pick out my top 30 favorite winter-coats under $300!
Now, I realize for most of us (myself included) $300 is not exactly chump change. However, a good winter coat is certainly worth a splurge.

A.   Most of us where our winter-coat most everyday during the months November, December, January and February. So this is the coat that strangers, co-workers, neighbors, friends, family, and basically every single person you pass will see you in. It should be beautiful.
B.    A good winter coat should last you at the VERY LEAST 2 winters. If you spend $300 that’s $150 a year and a $1.25 a day. My rule of thumb for how much I’m willing to spend on a basic or a staple garment (i.e. Jeans, Boots, Coats) is as followed: I will spend $1 for every 1 day I will wear it.
C.   This is the garment that is keeping you warm and protecting you from the elements. In my opinion, my health is worth investing in.

So, now I will step down off my winter-coat soapbox and unveil my top 30 picks for Winter 2012-2013! Enjoy!
