I have a great wardrobe that fits my summer style (i.e. easy going vibe with a bohemian flair) but, year after year when the leaves change from green to red to gone with the wind, so does my style. I never feel myself in the clothes I have for winter. I always end up looking quite drab in either boots/sneakers, casual jeans, a plain top, sweatshirt, and coat. That's usually what I end up pulling together, and I think it is because my summer style doesn't easily transition into the winter, so I get lazy as well as uninspired by my closet. So, I've decided to evaluate how I would like to dress in the winter in an attempt to stay stylish and comfortable.

Blazers |
I'm kind of in love with them.
I've been really inspired by menswear lately and would like to incorporate it into my wardrobe,
but with a feminine flair. Blazers with dresses, or girlish skirts, or tight pants.

Turtlenecks |
I've always loved how women look in turtlenecks.
Even though they completely cover you up, the look is still absolutely sexy.
One thing about my style is that I like a hint of sex appeal.
I really like this look in particular because it is exactly what I imagine for the turtleneck,
sexy yet conservative.

Soft Grunge |
I really don't like flashy outfits.
Yes I love to look sexy, but I don't like it to be obvious.
Whenever I'm in a flashy outfit I always feel like an idiot, like I'm trying way too hard.
This is why I'm not a fan of going out to clubs or fancy bars,
I hate heels and pretentious people.
I'm more of a gritty bar type of girl where the booze is cheap and the decor is questionable.
So, I think I'm going to keep this image in mind when dressing,
keeping it simple with complimenting silhouettes, cool shoes, and great hair.

Leather |
Yes, we all love leather this season.
You can't go wrong with leather, especially in the winter.
This is why I love leather right now:
it's not a summer material so it just automatically works in winter,
and it looks sexy no matter how you wear it,
whether it be a leather skirt, shirt, jacket, or what have you, it's fantastic.

Plaid |
Just a touch of plaid and I think we're on the right track :)

So all in all, I think my style for the winter is along the lines of this:
Menswear meets femininity & grunge with structured pieces in dark shades
