how to: survive a polar vortex

How to Survive a Polar Vortex

Apparently, I never knew what a real winter felt like until now: the year of the polar vortex.  Last year, it snowed only three times over the course of several months.  This year, it snowed three times in a matter of days.  Let’s just say, my dog (who is also experiencing his first real winter) is not pleased.

While I still refuse to buy a puffer jacket, you’ll probably find me decked out in all other winter gear, trying to hold on for dear life until spring.  My winter uniform usually involves a chunky knit sweater and faux leather leggings (underneath of which there’s another layer of thermal wear).  I also prefer schlepping around the city with a crossbody bag so that I can keep my glove-covered hands properly shoved into my wool coat. So tell me, how are you surviving this year’s winter?  I’d love to know — unless you live in California or Arizona, in which case we’re not currently on speaking terms.

White Denim Leggings I’m always ready to wind down by Thursday.  The weekend’s on the horizon and the wardrobe usually takes a turn for the minimalistic.  That means reaching for the faux leather jacket instead of a structured blazer and a soft v-neck tee in lieu of a flowy blouse.  A tuxedo striped pant and a few pops of color seal the deal and will get me through this final stretch of the work week.  Hang in there friends!White Denim Leggings Gigi New York Cobalt All in One Clutch Leather Jacket & Leather Striped Pants Cobalt Blue Snakeskin Clutch Cobalt Blue Snakeskin Clutch
