Forget Summer!

Forget summer! Winter, has to be a fashion enthusiasts most beloved season. Hats, coats, gloves, ear muffs, scarves all screaming to be used in one form or another not just to protect us from the cold, but to also be used as authentic pieces of art within ones daily ensemble. As I peer out this window I see a well-dressed man in his 40’s defining the power he holds with his long black wool trench coat, burgundy cashmere scarf, black leather gloves, all covering up his daily suit. A young women walks the opposite direction only her rescued vintage down jacket lacking only a few colors from the wheel speaks to a difference characteristic, one of more freedom. She has earmuffs shaped to look as though they the ears of a Dalmatian puppy. Her mittens she would tell you only serve her in the purpose of keeping her warm, but the mere fact that she chooses not to match, matches her personality. Myself, I am dressed in a nice slate gray coat that goes down to my knees with a hood lined in fake fur. A hat adorns my head that while I love, would never fly in the summer. I may still have a dress on, but I get the extra benefit of wearing leggings with it at this time of the year, which helps accentuate the color. And then my scarf, perhaps my favorite part of the winter ensemble, is a criss cross of beige and navy patterns. I could go on all day about how winter enables one to really let out the fashionista inside, but alas it’s cold I need to put on a pair of gloves.
