How to look hot in the winter- my guide to lazy fashion

tenaavI love cold weather.  However, I don’t love coats.  They’re bulky and restricting and the Stay Puff Marshmallow is not a good look for me.   It’s 20 degrees here right now and I have to stay warm… what’s a lazy woman to do to stay toasty?

My husband says I look like a bag lady during the winter.

I prefer “Homeless Chic”.

It’s what I wear to chaueffeur my kids around daily.  I go to the store in it.  It’s comfortable and keeps me warm.  The fact that it embarrasses my kids is just a bonus.  Here are some of my basics…

Hats are your friend.  They hide dirty hair and bad hair days- trust me.

Scarves are also a staple.  They can dress up a sweatshirt and make it look like you care.

Hoodies- the hardest working sweatshirts out there.  Again- put your hood up and hide your greasy locks.  PLUS- your hoodie has a front pocket- or a muff- but who can honestly call it a muff without gigling?  Keep your hands warm, put your cell phone and keys in there and you’ve just disguised your swollen Holiday belly- “what?  it’s my keys!”

Add sunglasses and you, too, can look like the Unibomber!

Hint:  buy your hoodie big enough and you can get away without wearing a bra!

Warm, trendy cute boots that a 14 year old would wear.  They draw attention away from the fact that I am wearing pajama pants out in public.

When in doubt-  add animal prints! Ooh La la.

I am a firm believer that bras were created by men solely for the discomfort of women. Thus, I am soooo with you on the oversized sweatshirts. And really, why should I wash and/or comb my hair when I have to put a hat on to go out anyway? It seems so counter-productive.
