I'm figuring out which trends I want to try this upcoming winter. I'm loving the whole "over the knee" boots style because not only is it super stylish, I also won't even risk getting wet socks this year. Obviously, I must go with the leather choice because in Michigan, if you go suede in the snow, you'll get white stains from the salt. So I'll be ordering the middle pair of boots as soon as possible. They're flats (perfect for walking downtown), leather (wipe clean), simple, black and perfect. They're exactly what I need and affordable!
(boots: sm luxe suede over the knee boot $129.95 | chinese laundry
turbo leather over the knee boot $79.97 | dollhouse studded
over the knee boot $79.95)
As for hats? As much as I loved my berets last winter, I'm going for the beanies this year with the slouchy look to the back. I copied my husband on this look, actually. I bought a black one in Chicago from the Army Surplus store for $11.00. But here are a few examples of the slouchy beanie. Super hipster in Michigan ;)
(beanies: bdg at urban ribbed slouched beanie $28 | bdg at urban
slouchy beanie $18 | forever 21 crochet beanie $7.80)
I definitely need a few more cardigans for colder days! They're perfect to mix and match and play with belts and everything else. The left one is such a fun pattern and I just see so many possibilities there, but the solid color ones are always perfect for mixing. I love the zipper effect on the middle one, perfect simple element.
(cardigans: topshop knitted fair isle coatigan $110 | topshop
knitted zip long cardigan $80 | bdg shaker stitch cardigan $58)
And last, but not least, I need a big, chunky, knit scarf. I'm thinking h&m on these, because I've seen so many Chictopians with amazing scarfs from h&m, but obviously you cannot find any of their product online, so I chose a few from different stores for inspiration and ideas.
(scarves: topshop space dye knit scarf $36 | f21 rainbow yarn
scarf $10.80 | f21 smocked striped scarf $8.80)

...and a bag! I'm looking for the perfect Winter bag. It needs to be big and have lots of pockets and space inside or out. I'm thinking leather isn't great for Winter. What do you suggest?
Leather is always great for a purse, no matter the season, I think! You don't get a lot of snow, do you? I just bought a faux leather purse from F21. It's hugeee and has three compartments with space for my phone and zippers and pockets everywhere and I can't find a single thing in it - but it is nice to be able to lug everything in one bag!
I want the beret!!! :)
