Every year, I always wait for that moment where it’s acceptable to wear ‘winter
clothing’. We all know Texas weather is unpredictable and living in Austin means
80% dry weather; all the time. Well, it’s mid-December and the weather is
screaming for you to put some use to those scarves, leggings and boots that have
been tucked behind all those summer clothing.
Scarves
They can really make an outfit so much better. The best part is, that there are so
many types of scarves. One scarf that looks great, no matter what, is the infinity
scarf. The name itself should give you a sense of what it is; there’s no end to it. It’s
also known as a loop or a circle scarf. Whether it’s patterned or a solid color or
if you’re going for a casual or more professional look, make sure to top off your
weather outfit with a trendy scarf.
Leggings
Not only do they keep you warm, but there are also so many patterns and colors of
leggings that you can purchase at stores at The Drag, The Domain and Barton Creek
Mall – Forever21, H&M, American Apparel, Urban Outfitters and Charlotte Russe.
You really can’t go wrong with dark neutral colors like black or gray.
Boots
These were what I was really excited about when the cold fronts started coming
in. You can wear these with jeans, leggings and dresses – long, short, heel, no heel,
booties and mid-length. Combat boots and nude or black booties can give your outfit
more of an edge; not to mention, their really comfortable. You can find some really
great deals at A’GACI, Forever21 and Charlotte Russe; I’m talking 2 for $50 boots.
Whatever you wear these couple of months, make sure to keep warm. But with
these three items, you’ll be looking cute too.
