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?

I really love your style you look amazing and I love love love Thursday nights outfit I wish someone would sell JC shoes here in the UK xoxo
You'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.
nicee, I really like the thursday outfit <3
xoxo Shannon
For someone battling the elements you look phenomenal! I could learn a lot from you!
lace 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
Love 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!
Love all of these but thursday & tuesday have to be my ultimate faves! You always look AMAZING

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. :)
I can't decide which one is my fave look. Thursday night? :D
Happy birthday to your little sis!
What a gorgeous outfits! You have a great style!
