snow day

CARDIGAN: OLD NAVY (SIMILAR) + LEGGINGS: VICTORIA SECRET + SCARF: NORDSTROM RACK (SIMILAR) + EARMUFFS: ANTHROPOLOGIE + BOOTS: HUNTER

So we all survived the snowpacalypse here in NYC, but it seems like the snow flurries and piles of white fluff  (oops I meant kind-of-dirty-gray-mush) are here to stay for a while. Enter city-girl’s two best snow-weather friends:

(1) A pair of classic TALL rain boots. These have replaced my standard black leather boots for the time being. Going with black rather than a bright color means my coworkers don’t seem to notice that I wear them every day, and man is it nice not to worry about jumping over slush puddles and getting salt all over my leather boots on my way to and from the office. TIP: BUY THE BOOTSOCKS. They are essentially questionably-pricey fleece kneesocks, but honestly, they’re worth every penny to keep your feet toasty warm. Classic boots like Hunters have no real lining without them. Fold them over your boot (pictured) for one look, or tuck them down into the boot for a sleeker look while still staying warm.

(2) Blanket Scarves. Warm and chunky layers, you can’t beat it. And if you haven’t yet succumbed to buying the Zara plaid blanket scarf almost every woman has this season, it’s time. Nothing beats being able to wrap your scarf around you and snuggle up when the wind picks up.

Stay warm!
