Grey days of Winter

Old man winter will be arriving this week on Thursday, December 21st, the shortest day of the year. First of all, I love winter and more specifically winter sports like skiing and snowshoeing. My natural tendency is to be outdoors. And much as I love the snow, I adore winter coats, and all the fun activities, I don’t like the cold weather. This a huge problem for me. As native New Yorkers know, we don’t get snow that much, just the freezing temps. Another vacation to book, to head out west to get more of the fluffy stuff. Also, its one of my favorite things to do. Finally, I will probably be looking to dress appropriate for the upcoming winter months. In New York City in the winter is a monochromatic wonderland, filled with the color grey. Hello to the grey days of winter.

Grey is one of my favorite go-to shades this time of year. Although I live for the sunshine, I am ready for the grey days of winter in my wardrobe.

The dilemma of dressing in the winter is real. As I have mentioned, I lay out my outfits the night before just to be sure I have everything ready. To get dressed, you will need this laundry list of items. A sweater, boots, tights, a coat, gloves, sometimes a hat or scarf, and a great bag that can fit around your coat. I am obsessed with my new black crossbody bag, thank to the team at Jerome Dreyfuss. It fits everything, even those extra pair of gloves. Tis the season for dressing in modern basics.

The beauty of this look is it is easy to get dressed. Pull out your grey wardrobe and start throwing things on the floor! And this look goes from day to night, just the solution for those holiday parties for the rest of the year! So you can fight the nasty weather, or run with it.
