It’s the most wonderful time of the year (for fashion!)
Jackie has champagne tastes on a student budget. That’s why she keeps a close eye on celebrity trends, then scours fast fashion outlets to recreate the look for less.
It happens like clockwork: each winter I haul out my boots and warmest sweaters and begin to sacrifice style bit by bit in favor of the comfortable and the cozy.
Part of my rationalization for not being more creative is because I know I’m going to put a coat over everything I wear. If that’s the case, why bother trying?
Well, I should bother because there are lots of fantastic (and warm) winter style options.
- Wear this adorable toggle sweater over a long-sleeved shirt, with skinny jeans, boots and a bright scarf.
- Most waterproof and practical winter boots are fairly ugly. However, this cute pair from Target has a tie back so you can tighten the top around your jeans (preventing snow from wetting your socks). They also have a subtle wedge heel, which will glam up your outfit a couple notches.
- This newsboy hat has a Blair Waldorf-like bow on the side.
- Fingerless gloves are really practical: it’s easier to drive, text and open your chapstick. These have a cool military-inspired look.
- Shawl-collar cardigans are chic and so comfortable. They look best with a more fitted look on the bottom (either jeans or a pencil skirt, for instance) and really interesting oversized jewelry.
- If you have the moxie to try out a funky, faux-fur hat, by all means, wear one like this!
- A traditional holiday sweater like this looks good with more modern pairings. I would try it with dark leggings, flat-soled boots and a great pair of earrings.
- I would really like to open these Nine West boots on Christmas morning. I can’t lie: I love them.
- Wear a spin on the traditional Ugg boot style with these cuffed sweater boots.
- I really like these London Fog boots: they have a little wedge and are fur-lined on the inside.
- When it comes to scarves, you can’t go wrong with plaid.
What do you like to wear when the weather turns cold?

I love your picks! I wish it was still cold in Texas!
) Thanks for the great ideas for classing up the cozy clothing!
When the weather turns cold, I want warmth and these boots look like they would keep me warm in these NY winters. I especially like the idea of boots that go over jeans. The boots you’ve chosen are practical too. No high heels for NY winters!
I am not sure why everybody like these boots such as boots 2 or boots ten.They aren’t sexy at all.I always prefer leather boots that make everyone attracted to you.
just my 2 cents.

I love your picks! They are great for hanging out with friends or going to the movies. I especially love the boots. Functional and stylish (my favorite things in the dog days of winter!).
I love all your picks, especially the sweaters and fingerless gloves. Can’t live without mine
Item number 3 is very very cute. Also from picture i would say thet all boots are very comfortable to wear as well as they are worm.
