Winter Cottage Style

It's still fully winter here but the good news I am hopeful that  we are out of the frigid cold and now we will  have another month of just cold winter.  Although I wish spring would arrive, I have long ago learned to invest in cozy winter pieces more than any other seasonal wardrobe.  Take this cozy, fleece top for example.  It's perfect for a cozy day at the cottage, explore a little mountain town, or getting comfy in it after hitting the slopes.  It's also a perfect layered under a puffer vest once the weather warms up but is still on the cool side.   Pair it with some lululemon leggings, a weekend staple for me, wool socks and Blundstones to keep toes warm and you have yourself a perfect winter cozy look!

I took these pictures when we were at our cabin in February and I was all natural.  NO MAKE-UP because at the lake it's just about relaxing and enjoying the slower pace.  I rarely go without make-up to be honest, because I feel insecure about all the scars on my face that are left over from years of hormonal acne.  I thought about editing them in photoshop but I decided that I am okay with you seeing me exactly as I am.  I think it comes with age, being more comfortable with all parts of ourselves, but don't get used to it because I will likely have make-up on 90% of the time and that's okay too.  

Are you fully out of winter where you live?  

If yes, what are you adding to your spring wardrobe?  

If no, how do you combat the endless winter blues?

Are you team monochromatic or team mix and match?  Well, guess what?!?  You can love it all!  Usually I am not a matchy- match girl, but I love everything about this look to be honest.  I knew when I bought the tensely fuzzy skirt and crop top outfit, see it together here, that I would be using the skirt a lot on it's own for work, date nights and winter events.  I stumbled upon this sweater on sale right after Christmas and I love how it pairs well with trousers, jeans, skirts, or over dresses in winter.  It's super versatile.  Once I put the two pieces together I instantly knew that my white boots and wool coat would complete this look with the gold accessories to add a pop of classy color.  And how about this caramel quilted purses that was gifted to me?  Isn't it gorgeous!  Best part is that the quality of this Italian made purse is amazing. I absolutely love the gold accents in the clasp and also on the strap which you can wear long, short on your forearm, or tuck in and use as a clutch instead.  It's quickly become a favorite of mine.
