What Your Closet Needs Right Now

If you're starting to experience chilly temperatures, I hate you.  Just joking, but I do have a serious case of envy for my friends that live up north and are constantly posting pics on Instagram of gorgeous golden leaves, and all the cute warm weather gear that they get to wear.  Meanwhile, I'm just down here in Miami, patiently waiting for the day that it dips below 80 degrees.  You all can have your winters, I have absolutely no interest in that business.  While you're in the thick of a snopocalypse, buried under a hundred feet of snow, I'm loungin' by the pool, basking in our warm, subtropical weather.  But for now I'm jealous, and your pictures of pretty leaves, and scarves + boots may or may not make me want to kick over your pumpkins.  :)

Let's chat about what your closet needs right now.  I've seen a big trend this year with sweater dresses.  It seems that they're going to be quite popular this year.  Since they usually have a tendency to sell out rather fast, if you find one that you absolutely love, I'd recommend scooping it up fast.  Another huge trend this year is the plaid scarf.  While the plaid scarf is nothing new, different versions such as the plaid blanket scarf, and plaid infinity scarf have been popping up with a vengeance.  Below, I've featured a few other essentials {mostly in budget-friendly prices} that need to take up permanent residence in your closet ASAP.



Shop These Items:

Sweater dress - H&M {available here} //  Wool duffle coat with fur hood {loving the buckles! under $300 here} //  Black suede leather ankle boots - Steve Madden {on sale for 20% off here} //  Oversized turtleneck sweater - H&M {under $50 here} //  Plaid infinity scarf {such a steal for $14 & comes in 2 colors here} //  Felt fedora {comes in many different colors, all priced below $40 here}


Ok, I officially want everything on this list!  How cute is that coat from Zara?!  It also comes in this cream colored version which I ordered for my trip to Austria in December.  I'll report back how it fits!  I'm also in love both the sweater dress and oversized turtleneck.  Both would look perfect paired with my favorite cozy fleece lined tights and those Steve Madden booties!  Top your outfit off with the plaid scarf, or chic fedora and your good to go!


Which item is your favorite?

  3. Love your picks Andy, can't wait to see what you will wear in Austria, I am sure it will all be fabulous! Right now where I live, it's about 11 degrees (just about 52 fahrenheit), so it's still not cold enough to wear a winter coat at this point, but once it hits -20 in the winter (-4 fahrenheit), I will definitely regret wanting the winter to arrive, haha!

    1. omg. I would DIE if I lived where you do! Legit die. Since I moved to Miami, anything below 60 degrees feels freezing! And P.S. I ended up buying a Canada Goose jacket for Austria :D

  4. Haha! It can get pretty cold! Yes I see tons of people with those jackets here! Even though it can be super cold in the winter, it doesn't usually stay that cold the entire time! Plus the summer is hot, what would be about 86 degrees for you.
