After living here for six weeks, I've become quite accustomed to the New York climate, which includes sunny days, infrequent bouts of rain and freezing temperatures. Basically what I thought was cold back in England seems insignificant and it's hard to imagine that this city could ever be warmer (though I'm sure I'll think the opposite when July comes). Despite the consistently cold weather, I've still managed to get dressed in the morning, layering up with thermals and multiple pairs of tights, yet I'm longing for brighter outfits unmasked by outerwear. I want to wear layers by choice, not out of necessity and I want to feel a happy medium between hot and cold when walking around the city. Has the novelty of Winter dressing worn off for you?

ReplyDeleteYou've done really well, none of these scream 'cold weather' at all! I don't mind winter dressing at all really, because my style is so layer based anyway - although it would be nice to wear a nice floaty dress on its own.
ReplyDeletenicee, I really like the thursday outfit <3

For someone battling the elements you look phenomenal! I could learn a lot from you!
ReplyDeletelace and leggings, thats my dream conbination! i really should invest in some lace leggings although theyre not really practical in this cold weather and yeah totally agree about the layering. i dont wanna be forced to layer up! x
ReplyDeleteLove the outfits. I am bored of wearing my coats too, I love them and its great layering up but I need a break too! I just want to break out my denim jackets, blazers and not worry about coats!

You've put together some great outfits! One of the best ways to learn to enjoy the winter is by dressing for it and enjoying the clothing you can't wear in summer. :)
