Outdoorwear and Snazzy Tights

Sorry I haven't had a post in a while....You know college applications and such.

So what comes to mind when we think outdoorwear? Huge puffy coats, huge puffy snowpants, ugly beanie hats and earmuffs....I used to hate looking like a fat little girl in winter.

Although December is over, here there hasn't even been a blanket of snow yet, it's surprising. Some of you haven't realized it's even winter. It's quite sickening to walk around school seeing tube skirts hiked up high over pale, stark white legs crawling with goosebumps. Wear a pair of tights, come on.

So first let's discuss Outdoorwear. Coats. Let's stay far away from Old Navy and their puffy coats with added extra puffiness. By now it's cold enough for that perfect winter coat and the sales on them.

Peacoats and trenches are wooly, warm and fashionable. They wear well with anything. They also won't let your dress or skirt ride up.Bright colors are the trend this year for coats, although I prefer black or gray because they're so versatile, matching with anything I throw on. I would advise no one to buy a white coat because it will get dirty so fast.

Now what better to go with your coat than hats, scarves, and mittens?


Knit/Crocheted is the trend and I love it, my grandma crocheted me a scarf that I always wear with my coat. Knit one yourself, or go buy one they're everywhere.


Similar to the Knit trend are Infinity Scarves, they have the perfect cozy look and I still need to go buy one. They're really just a knitted scarf that's connected, it never ends because it goes on and on for infinity...punny

Hats are a problem, I don't like wearing hats for fear of messing up my hair, but after an on-going ear infection, I thought it might be a good idea to wear one.

Personally, I like the artsy looking berets or caps. You wear them slouchy, they're knit, warm and voila no hat hair!

I'm pretty sure I can trust you all with gloves and mittens...

So now about the snazzy tights. Get some, flaunt them, keep your legs warm, etc. Any tights that are colored or have a sweet pattern qualify as snazzy tights in my book. If you're wearing some you can guarantee I will tell you I like your snazzy tights.

The only downside of tights are rips or runs in them. Fortunately I have a solution for you: When you see a small hole or a run starting, use clear nail polish to stop it. Then you can continue looking snazzy.



Oh, by the way, the next post will be this week entitled: The Unroyal Roast of Uggs.
