Baby It's Cold Outside!

This will be my first full fledged winter since learning to Dress My Truth and this year it will be a lot more colorful.  I never realized how much color impacted my moods before.  Every winter I have a tendency to get a little down because let's face it, it gets kinda dreary out there. I have vowed this year to wear more color and let it cheer me up!

Here are a few coats I have picked up for the season:



A cute blue trench coat with a little bit of brightness to it.  This year I have found some cute pink leather gloves and a fun polka dot scarf to wear with my different coats.


This is what I wore for storm cleanup the other day.  A basic chocolate brown coat with my pink garden work gloves.  Chocolate + pink is always a classic combination!



A fun light green trench coat with my new pink accessories!  This is the coat I am wearing in my new profile picture and header here on the blog. It is my favorite one of the bunch and I wear it almost daily whenever I go out!

The weather hasn't turned completely frigid yet {though the last two mornings have been in the teens so it is definitely on its way!}, and I still need to get a new coat for those really cold winter days.  I would love to get something fun like this:

That looks pretty warm, cozy and bright, right?  I just need to find a super thin {and super warm} down coat.  I really don't like the puffy looking ones because they always make me feel kinda fat.

I also wouldn't mind finding a coat
that would go with this amazing scarf:

Yep!  Now wouldn't that scarf just brighten your day?

  3. What great ensembles! I love that polka dotted scarf.
    I feel cheerier in bright colors, too. I wore that raspberry sweater yesterday and felt bright and happy all day.

    I adore cold weather - of course, here in California it doesn't get that cold. I have some coats, scarves, hats and gloves that I wear lots. When it's not too cold, I like to wear my hot pink trench coat. It's pretty light weight so I can't wear it too much right now.

    Stay warm! xo

  4. We're having cold weather right now - there's actual frost on the grass and rooftops.

    I bet you look adorable in those color combinations. They do seem to match your positive, sunny perspective!

  6. Thanks Rebekah! It's fun to dress up for cold weather! A frosty morning is my favorite to bundle up in! You probably don't have to have a lot of warm coats in your neck of the wood like I do, you probably just get to wear your fabulous sweaters out, right?
