Hello my fashionable friends,
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted our lives in many ways, including our ability to get out and about—but that doesn’t mean we can’t look fabulous when we do have the opportunity to leave the house. Getting dressed and looking good can lift your spirits—and although our social engagements may be limited, we can look cute when running errands, attending doctor visits, or even when grocery shopping.
With winter quickly approaching, and as we prepare to protect ourselves from the cooler temperatures we can also remain stylish in the process. You can easily accomplish this by adding these three pieces to your wardrobe.
A statement coat
A great pair of boots
A fabulous pair of gloves
The great thing about outerwear, is that your outfit can be really simple but if you throw on a statement coat, boots, and gloves—you can look like you’re dressed to kill. You have to put on these items anyway, so by selecting great pieces, you’ll can almost guarantee that you’ll look great when you walk out the door.
Statement Coat
A statement coat will instantly enhance your look. Whether it’s a wool, leather, fur, or puffer coat—have some fun by choosing a bold color, pattern, or interesting texture. I say this frequently, but if you throw on a great coat, it almost doesn’t matter what you have on underneath. The fabulousness of your outer garment will take center stage.
Pair your coat with jeans and a t-shirt, a pair of slacks, leggings, or a dress.

BOOTS
With so many different boot options, you don’t have to limit yourself to one type. Three great styles that also happen to be my favorites include:
Knee-high or over-the-knee boots
Ankle boots
Rugged styles (moto, combat)
Knee-High and Over-the-Knee Boots
Knee-high and over-the-knee boots are great with jeans, shorts, leggings, skirts, and even longer dresses. Not only are they fashionable, they can provide extra protection against the cold. When wearing a dress or skirt, throw on a pair of leggings in place of tights, add your knee-high or over-the-knee boots and you’re ready to go.

Ankle Boots and Booties
Ankle boots and booties are available in variety of styles, including combat and motorcycle boots, dressy ankle boots, and casual ankle boots. Like other types of boots, ankle boots can be worn with jeans, dresses, and skirts, and are extremely versatile.
Styling Ankle Boots
When wearing ankle boots with jeans, consider wearing cropped pants or cuffing the jeans to a length that sits right above your boots, to showcase the entire boot. Cuffing works well with skinny jeans and boyfriend styles.
Wear ankle boots with leggings or skinny jeans, with the leggings/jeans tucked in to the boots, which will create a long uninterrupted line.
Wearing ankle boots with a dress or skirt provides another opportunity to show off your boots, and gives off a cute and casual vibe.
