FIND YOUR WINTER STYLE. TURN A NEGATIVE INTO A POSITIVE.

My mantra for dressing this winter? TURN A NEGATIVE INTO A POSITIVE. And that inspiration comes from the fact that it is below zero here in Minneapolis.  And do I need to mention that there is snow everywhere? 



OUTFIT STRATEGY FOR TODAY.
  1. I want to dress up for work.
  2. I want to be warm and comfortable.
  3. I'm in the mood to tackle boots that aren't just meant for snow. Thank you Nine West!
  4. Since I'm dressing for NOW, and feeling funky, I will take this traditional cardigan sweater and pair it with something the opposite of traditional. 

How to add funk to a classic, traditional sweater.

I found this lovely, never worn, tags still on, Evan Picone cardigan at Turnstyle; a Minneapolis consignment shop. I always find awesome things at the Turnstyle chain of consignment stores. You must check it out.

The fur is what drew me in but honestly, I wouldn't normally pick up something so classic and traditional feeling.

Since I was feeling the animal vibe, which I often feel, I figured why not go with my Flashdance inspired "She's a Maniac" leopard sweatshirt in blue, black and grey.  Meeooowww.

Continue the punk vibe with a zipper front pencil.
But still nod to the traditional with my floppish hat.  


The sweater is tough. It can handle the snow dropping on my back.
