The greedy Seagull is delightfully warm this winter

Keeping out the Chill in Style


by The Greedy Seagull



Every winter, I am faced with a tough decision when I step out the door:  do I put on a huge oversize parka to stay warm and look like a miserable penguin, or do I put on a cute outfit and suffer?  I am originally from sunny southern California where I never needed more than a sweater, and sandals were a perfectly viable option all year long.  It’s taken me years to get the hang of it,  but I finally feel confident enough about my winter dressing skills to share some tips with you on how to stay cute and not freeze your buns off.  Check out my Etsy shop for fabulous winter finds,  and visit my friends too!

Cashmere is a must for me.  I stock up on vintage cashmere whenever I find it;  the new stuff can get way too expensive!  

For those of us that wear it, fur really is the best thing for cold weather.  I am really into mongolian lamb and fox this season. Wear a heavy weight vest over your layers for crazy warmth, or a dramatic fox fur hat.




Capes are a godsend to me.  The look so stylish layered over skinny pants or tights and are perfect to travel in.  Try pairing them with elbow length gloves!




Accessories are going to make all the difference in the cold.  I am a big fan of thick hand knit shawls and faux fur lined booties.  


I hope these suggestions give you some great ideas!  Stay warm and happy.
