It's Getting Cold Outside...

Midway through fall, and almost saying hello to winter. The jackets, scarves, and Ugg boots are making their way out of peoples' closets. Walking around campus for the last couple weeks, one can notice the vast array of winter wear that's slowly making its way around. I've happened to notice a number of J.Crew trench-coats, tweed and leather jackets, and some over-sized/ rather unflattering sacks that people may call jackets.
Through the weeks of observation though, I've come to notice one distinct thing; there are the few people who dress impeccably around campus, and then there are the vast majority who probably couldn't care less of how they look in the morning.
Here are some tips to look hot and trendy this winter. If you're a frugalista, there are some great sales you can check out if Black Friday is too far away for you. Clothing companies like Forever21, Urban Outfitters, J.Crew etc. always have a sale section in their stores and on their websites for shopaholics like you and me to enjoy. Check out this double-cloth Camino coat priced at almost $300 from J.Crew now priced at $178. That's a pretty good bargain.
It can be worn both casually and formally making it an all-rounder piece of clothing.
This jacket is just one of many girls can enjoy during the season of cold.
Accessories are always great no matter where you're going or what you're doing.Here is some adorable (not to mention extremely affordable) headgear that fashionistas can rock this season.


At a mere $9.99, this Grommet Wool Beret is a steal. It'll go with pretty much any look, and actually looks a lot pricier than it is.
Enjoy it in either the jade, raspberry, or camel shades. Whichever you choose, this beret will get people asking, "Where did you get that from?"


I can go on and on about what's out there. All you have to do is develop the eye and study the looks. If it means you pick up a cosmo or study some sort of style guide so be it. The look for less is the way to go if you're not into spending big bucks.
Keep it simple, and know when to add color. For me scarves do that perfectly.
