It's Winter... Who Knew? NAY

I look forward to the cooler months because it means that I can break out my sweaters and boots.  Apparently not everyone feels the same.  With global warming upon us and summer-like weather hitting us two days away from December, peepz dressing appropriately for the seasons has gone out the window, resulting in a series of nays.  Please don't let the 60 degree weather confuse you while getting dressed in the morning... yes, it is still fall-almost-winter.  It is possible to dress so you won't overheat while still keeping with the proper season.

PAR EXEMPLE...
I'm all for throwing the "you can't wear white after Labor Day" rule out the window.  However, I just can't get behind stark white jeans in the middle of November.  If this happens to be your thang, maybe try some off white or ivory corduroys instead.  They are like omg so fall AND probably warmer than those jeans you wear in the summer.

Also, sandals are def not cool after it is officially fall... and def not cool after Thanksgiving.  (Sorry Katie).  Try flats, I bet you can even find a woven pair if your feet absolutely must breathe.  The new trend of men's style loafers and oxfords is pretty cool too if you feel daring.  If you're wearing a maxi (in an appropriate fabric and pattern of course) and feel as though wearing sandals is your only option... NAY... You are mistaken mi amigo.  A pair of booties with a lil heel or even a cool cowboy boot will do you even better.

If you decide to wear a sweater dress (and I mean an actual sweater dress, not a sweater worn as a dress), wear tights!  You're wearing the sweater dress because it is chilly, so bare legs seems like kind of a disconnect, roit? Wearing a sheer pair-o-tights is basically the same thing as going nekked legged, roit? Roit.  Except you will look chic for the impending cool weather.

I hope by this point it goes without saying no shorts in November? Or December? Or any fall/winter month for that matter?  UNLESS you wear tights under! This is a cool new trend that totally gets a YAY. Try experimenting with stockings in different colors and patterns!  Tights are an inexpensive way to stretch your wardrobe into the cooler months.  (Try to stick to dark washes if you're wearing denim or experiment leather, oh my!.... light washes can look summery).

Embrace the season! Get in those chunky sweaters and boots before it's back to cutoffs and tanks!
