Winter can be one of the most challenging times in a girl’s life especially when it comes to fashion. Growing up in Texas I lacked the thick layers, puffer coats, snow boots. When you said layers it meant denim shorts + bathing suit and a sheer cover up. I still struggle with so many things that northern life demands of me and being warm while dressing for the weather is still at the top of the list.
I braved the single digit degree temps like a crazy person last week and my fellow Texan friend & photographer Ellen Ashton, so kindly decided to tag along for the ride. She definitely helped warm me up with laughter and when it came to taking these images, I think we said out loud a million times, “What are we doing?” And that was a very good question! I am pretty glad that we did though because we captured these images in under 10 minutes while in under 10 degree weather.
If you follow along on my social media then you know I love anything neutral, monochromatic, + black and white. When I came across this top (which you may have already seen featured in a few of our Christmas card images) I fell in love. It is affordable, can be worn multiple ways and I think it looks so wintry with the little charming details on the sleeves + did you catch the button details down the back? Swoon.
I paired this sheer top with my adorable black skinny cargos, a grey + white fedora, and a neutral white pump to reiterate the white band on my fedora. Overall simple and easily worn on a date or out for cocktails with the girls. When it comes to winter nothing will stop me from still feeling feminine beneath all those bulky layers. I linked all the items I am wearing here below for quick shopping and I hope you enjoy!
