Winter Formal

So it once again is getting to that time of year, the winter season is upon us.  Now mind you, I don't really enjoy the cold weather, the sketchy roads, or wet shoes that comes with winter.  But, I do love snowboarding, cuddling, and especially layering my clothes!

That's right, winter is the best time of year to show the world your fashion prowess almost everyday of the week, day or night, sleet or snow, it doesn't matter.  Through proper layering of clothes, you can transform yourself from boring and bland to elaborate and memorable, with just a few reminders when getting dressed.

The Reminders

1. Ideal outfit should consists of 5 things: a clean & simple pair of winter shoes (boots for women, leather shoes for men), a dark washed pair of jeans, a solid color collared shirt, a flattering winter jacket (bomber jackets are very flattering and fashionable), and a scarf or beanie to seal the deal.
2. Make sure to plan ahead and make sure your outfit is still put together under your jacket because once inside, your jacket will come off.
3. Always color coordinate your accessories.  Don't be that person who has 50 different colors on their outfit from their feet to their head.
4. Find a unique article of clothing that describes your personality and make it a point to express why you like when with company.  Clothing is one of the easiest ways to start up conversation.

In Closing

It does cost a little bit of extra money to buy clothing that you can layer that flatters your physique and matches your personality, but it is well worth it.  So go out and buy a few things for your winter wardrobe and meet me on the street because I want to watch everyone around you start "bird dogging*" you.

 *Bird Dogging - A term originated in the early 40's to describe the action of someone checking another person out; like a bird observing its surroundings and a dog with its tongue out when it sees something it likes.
