winter outfit ideas

This is the time of year when we're pretty much done shopping for winter and not quite ready to think about spring fashion, so I've been reworking some of my old 5 Ways To Wear posts to help us get a little more mileage out of our winter wardrobe essentials, and today it's all about the grey sweater!

It sounds like Old Man Winter is going to stick around for a while longer, so we shot a few more cold weather looks last week. This teddy lapel coat is a modern twist on a classic winter style, and it makes a nice addition to a casual wardrobe.

There's a new trend in town that you can start wearing now, and it will also transition nicely into spring. It's called a shacket. For those not familiar with the term, a shacket is a slightly oversized shirt-jacket hybrid, and since it's thicker than a shirt but thinner than a winter coat, it makes the perfect casual transition piece.

The day we shot this look, I didn't really have any brilliant post topic ideas. I just knew we wanted to take advantage of the snowy landscape, so I threw a bunch of my favorite winter wardrobe basics into the car along with about every coat I own, and drove over to one of our favorite spots in Valley Forge National Park.

It's been a couple of weeks since I shared my latest outfits, so today's post is a long one. Let's get right to it! This first look goes back two weeks, and I went for a run after dropping Savannah off for her dental surgery. I took a quick picture before I left the house, because I often get asked about my winter running gear.

You know I'm a fan of an all-black outfit, and I love how these Merry People gumboots in the Alpine Green add a touch of whimsy to this monochromatic winter look.

Last week, I started a series on 5 Ways to Wear a Camel Turtleneck, and today I've got the second look ready to share with you. I talk a lot about outfit formulas, and this is one of my favorites when it comes to camel because it's virtually fool-proof.

Happy hump day, friends! As is the custom around here on Wednesdays, I’ve rounded up my outfits from the past week. Of course, this was Christmas week for those of us who celebrate, and while we didn't have any big fun outings as we often do, I did try to dress for the various occasions... such as they were. 

Happy hump day, friends, and happy Christmas Eve eve! As is the custom around here on Wednesdays, I've rounded up my outfits from the past week. There are definitely some hits and misses in this one, and one outfit evolution... although I went about it kind of backwards.

Happy Friday, friends, and cheers to another weekend! One more week till Turkey Day... it's hard to believe it's already here. Of course, we've been decorated for Christmas for a week, so there's that. Speaking of Christmas, today I've got a pastel holiday look from Express. Who says holiday outfits have to be red and green?

I'm super excited to be teaming up with some of my favorite over-40 fashion bloggers to bring you some Galentine's Day outfit inspiration. Tania, Jennifer, and Deborah and I have each styled an outfit we might wear to a Galentine's Day get-together.

I'm back with Day 2 of 5 Ways to Wear a Grey Sweater, and this time I'm styling a grey cashmere turtleneck for a winter date night look. You may not immediately think of a turtleneck for date night, but when it's the middle of winter and freezing cold, I'm willing to accept the challenge.
