Winter is Coming
Winter is coming, or it’s here rather. Yesterday was a balmy 6 degrees with wind that says “have a nice day bitch” and smacks you before it leaves. Today is actually colder, if that possible – well in Chicago, anything is possible. Why must you be so cruel Chicago!
This weather has me all sorts of inspired to dress more creatively, but still functionally. My first thought is to channel John Snow from Game of Thrones and you know what, it worked. No one dresses more chic than John Snow with his monochromatic looks with fur and leather layers. Slay honey! Today’s Game of Thrones inspired look starts with this SheIn army green long sleeve pockets split maxi dress.[ezcol_1half][/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end][/ezcol_1half_end] This dress served as the focal point of my look and then I added the fun and functional layers as I went on. This fringe cardigan is the perfect layering piece this winter – I love the the neutral coloring and how it softens the look, but the best part is the texture layered over the leather leggings and dress. Just because it’s cold out doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with colors and textures.
