Plaid keeps you warmer than other prints

It has been below freezing lately. I think the high on the day these photos were taken was 15°, and it's times like these when I question my desire to take outfit photos.

When the nightly news is warning about how quickly you can get frostbite, I should probably be embracing my outerwear as part of my outfit more often than not, but I actually find it harder to make the coat part of the look, and end up just wanting to buy more coats, like this striped one, this black one, and definitely this camel cocoon coat.

I keep wishing for a mild winter, but alas, there is more snow in the forecast.

Bright spot

This is what I wore to my Brother's birthday party over the weekend. I had initially pared this skirt with a black top, however I'm glad I changed to white. Just because it's winter does not mean wearing dark colors is a requirement.

Oddly enough, I think white has become my favorite color, and regardless of season, I want to wear it all the time. We all need a little bright spot to get through this cold, dark winter. Mine just happens to be white sweaters.
