How To Update Your Winter Wardrobe

Have you noticed that spring clothing is slowly creeping into stores while bulky winter fashions are severely discounted and on its way out?  I don’t know, maybe it’s me, but I find it incredibly difficult to buy spring clothing when there’s snow piled high on the sidewalks and the thermostat reads -25C.  Just saying.

But when I want to freshen up an outfit in the in-between seasons, I usually purchase some accessories.  This time around I didn’t go the usual route and buy a bunch of necklaces; I decided to purchase a couple of scarves to upgrade my look. 

The Infinity Scarf

I bought a thick, sunny hued infinity scarf from Purple Cloth Creations (psst....she’s a super talented artist who has made tons of scarves, hats and hair accessories).  Honestly, it took one look and I knew I had to have it. The colour was sooo vibrant and cheerful that it almost made me forget that it was wintertime....okay, I can’t forget, but you know what I mean. lol

all bundled up in my super warm scarf!

Since this scarf is very thick and warm, I wouldn’t necessarily wear it with an outfit.  I chose to wear it with my winter coat on those blustery days when you want some added warmth.

The other scarf is a thin, grey and black zebra printed scarf.  It’s great! It’s not too bulky so I can wear it with a blazer, a cardigan and even a casual dress.  This scarf is very versatile.

I normally stay far away from scarves because I don’t have a long neck, but the scarves look great on me. I can adjust the length so I don’t look and feel swallowed up by the scarf.

What are some of your new winter purchases?
