Winter, especially in New York City, can get gray and drab rather quickly. Pretty soon you've fallen victim to purely utilitarian dressing (which sometimes is a necessity) The black on black on black- wool, down, thermals routine, gets boring quite fast. My favorite solution is a statement coat that is both functional and cozy. Offering a pop of pattern and color with an out-of-the-ordinary ruffle. Having fun with outerwear is a sure fire way to spruce up your winter wardrobe. Granted I've layered some thermals and a thin down jacket from Uniqlo underneath (tricks of the trade). Adding a bold contrasting blouse or dress underneath will keep the "daydreaming of spring vibe". I love a dress over trousers in the cold winter months. It's a fun bit of layering, and your legs will thank you when the wind chill sets in. Ps. How cute is itty bitty baby Proenza?
