On me: Puffer Coat (only $27!) // Adidas Tee // Jeans // Purse: Dagne Dover Petite tote // Hat (found this look alike for under $10) // Boots // Socks
I find as I get older I make less trendy purchases. I stick to things that I know will last and not date themselves in a couple of years. This outfit pretty much sums up those choices. It stays true to my love of comfort and pops of color, but also includes smart functional pieces that I know I'll wear for years to come and will remain classics.
This red puffer jacket is perfect for my mountain life here in Salt Lake. It's warm but lightweight and only cost $27! And what mountain look doesn't include some good hiking boots? These are going on their third winter and still going strong and keep getting rereleased at Nordstrom so you know they are good!. I like that they are somewhere between a hiking boot and a shoe so they aren't too bulky. They are great with these striped top boot socks I looked everywhere for last year but could only find a few of. They are fully stocked in lots of colors right now here in both mens and women' sizes. I like to buy mens because I have giant feet! But don't wait, they sell out fast.
You probably all know about my love for Dagne Dover bags by now... I own five! This
Petite Tote in Warm Dust is just about the most beautiful shade of dusty pink that isn't too overly girly and not season specific so It's great year round. I find it great for my days with athena because I can fit all my stuff and hers in it surprisingly easily. It's great for the necessities; 1 diaper, bottle, my keys, credit cards and chapstick and phone.
This hat is probably two or three years old but I always get compliments on it because as you know fair isle is a classic and always great in the winter. I found this cute look alike on Amazon for under $10 and it comes in multiple colors. It would make a great stocking stuffer in my opinion.
So what classics do you love for winter? Do you feel the same way as I do about getting older and avoiding trendy pieces?
