This pictures were taken just before Christmas, in somewhat milder temperatures, with less snow on the ground…maybe not this weekend, but we will see temperatures in the 30s and 40s again soon!

TGIF!  Time to put away the laptop, shed the work clothes and get dressed for a night out with hubby.  As much as I love wearing black, wearing white – or winter white – is equally appealing.  Winter white brightens your skin, stands out in a crowd, and can even be a mood lifter.  This A.L.C. off the shoulder sweater is lightweight wool, found last year at Intermix.  Are you thinking you would be too cold???  C’mon now – aren’t you going to wear a coat?  From warm home to warm car to warm restaurant?  Don’t be an old lady! 😉 A substantial scarf is a chic accessory and a cardigan alternative.  This one by Echo is an oldie but goodie…Jeans are Mother brand – high waisted but not ‘mom jeans’!

Dramatic chandelier earrings are perfect with a bare neck…

Always tie your outerwear to your outfit by style and/or color. Winter white BCBG wool coat was a major bargain a few years back when the shop was closing in Boston. End of season sales and consignment shops are other ways to add versatility to your coat closet.

And last but not least – a hat!  Fox trimmed knit hat is dramatic, warm, and glamorous, this one is from Neiman Marcus.  Ginger lesson:  if your head and feet are properly covered you will be warm. Touche!

Happy 2018!
