what’s the best part of winter? yes, in five short days, fall will officially turn over the keys to old man winter. the season will last until march 19, 2020, which totals three entire months of winter gear. but don’t worry, i’ve got you covered, ladies. today, i’m partnering with Nordstrom to share five classic winter wardrobe essentials that will get you through the coldest winter months in style.
what’s on the winter essentials list? of course, boots (similar here) always come in handy this time of year whether they’re suede or leather, knee-high, over the knee, or a cute pair of booties. a cashmere sweater is always a good choice when the north wind starts to blow. midi-skirts are all the rage this season, and a teddy coat (similar here) will keep you toasty warm. but don’t forget to add a stylish handbag into the mix. love, love, love the circle handbag (similar here and here) from Rebecca Minkoff purchased in July at the fabulous Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
shopping at Nordstrom couldn’t be easier with free shipping both ways. and i love the fact that they carry a variety of brands from reasonably priced to high end. this teddy coat is from Vince, a luxury brand that carries wardrobe essentials from boots to wool and cashmere sweaters.
but if you’re in the market for an affordable brand, look no further than Halogen that dishes up trendy and classic items all year long. i was so impressed with this Halogen cashmere turtleneck that i purchased for my trip to France that i picked one up in camel.
what’s on-trend this winter? a handbag in a trendy shape.
nothing helps chase those winter blues away faster than an adorable teddy coat.

pleated midi-skirts are on my radar screen this winter. they pack a stylish punch while keeping us warm.

Hi Beth, loving the winter outfit, I wasn’t sure about the colour of the handbag with the outfit but then I noticed you had on a red belt so I love it xoxo
That is a cute bag! I can’t believe it’s only 9 days ’til Christmas. I’m ready. Love seeing family. We’ve already been watching some “home for the holidays” movies, which are usually fun and feature dysfunction at its best. (The older I get, the more I think my family’s just fine the way we all are, and I love ’em all.) Holly Jolly!
Fun list!
My mom just sent me a black pleated midi skirt for Christmas and I’m at a bit of a loss on how to style it. May I suggest (ie, request 😉 ) a post or short series on styling them, since they are a trend this season?
Merry Christmas!
I like the shape of the round purse, but I would only wear it as a crossbody. The short straps are annoying.
