Cold Weather in California?

7 Replies

Although it rarely happens, it DOES get cold in Southern California… Of course my version of cold is any temp below 60 (then again, I am desert native.) This winter we’ve definitely had some bouts of COLD cold! But you know what that means? Time for layers and one of my favorite accessories… scarves!!!!

Black, white, hot pink OH MY! Love these colors together! A scarf is an easy way to make a colorless, boring outfit fun and bold!

 

This outfit came together with the help of my all my favorite places to shop… mainly Ross and sample sales!!! The gorgeous coat I’m wearing is from an Abbott & Main sample sale and I scored it for a mere $35!!! The material is incredible soft and the details on the coat are endless. Truly an amazing find!

On my ankle is a unique piece of jewelry I found at a small boutique in L.A. It is meant to be worn over your shoes and works like a basic anklet. This scarf I found in the lost and found at my job, and so after it had been there a while, I took it home, washed it and made it my own.

Although I prefer the heat, ain’t nothin wrong with a few weeks of cold weather to allow my coats and scarves to get a work out!

For the love of neutrals…

Neutral colors are so easy to work with because they almost always go together and look great. Without this two dollar scarf I found at a vintage boutique, this outfit would be nothing!

It’s not always appropriate to be showing lots of cleavage, so I just added a cream colored camisole underneath the dress in order to cover up a little more.

My bag is by Big Buddha, the hand bag company I’ve been interning for. The bag retails for $96, but lucky me I got it for $20.

Shoes are by Guess and I found them at Burlington Coat Factory for 40 dollars.

When it gets warm or I no longer want my scarf/shawl covering my shoulders, it’s easy to just wrap it around my waist. I was able to tuck the ends through the loop in my belt for a whole new fabulous look on my dress.

This look and outfit is so versatile and can be worn on just about any day whether you’re going shopping, headed to the park or even attending a friend’s baby/bridal shower. Neutral colors look great on everyone and are easy to work with all year long!
