This was one of those days when you dress
up and realize your outfit is too dull. I had worn black trousers, a chocolate
brown turtle neck and a black trench coat then I realized that the dull colours
were too much. So I added this coat, sort of like peplum, and added this red
scarf for added colour. I layered the black trousers with a pair of thick
stockings because their fabric is too thin for the cold.
I didn’t feel much like accessorizing so I just put on simple earrings and a scarf. I wore black ankle boots. The boots have a block heel which up until yesterday I had been wearing only to and from church. But yesterday was a changing point in my life. These boots have joined my category of comfortable heels to wear while walking around in town. They were a gift from my mum a number of years ago and to this day they are still in good condition.

Accessorizing
tips for the cold weather:
·
Put on a pair of heeled boots
and/or closed toe shoes to keep you warm and at the same time maintain your
style.
·
A hat e.g. fedora will keep
your head warm when you’re moving around on the streets.
·
Stockings and leggings are good
for layering your legs. You can wear more than one pair of stockings or
leggings on top or your stockings for added warmth.
·
Scarves are very versatile in
the cold weather. They can be worn to add a pop of colour to your outfit and to
keep you warm.
·
Gloves keep your fingers nice
and toasty. I have a pair of wool gloves that I couldn’t get through the Indian
winters without them. Now I’m on the lookout for leather gloves. I think these
look classier when worn for a more formal occasion.
Happy Monday!!!
