Let It Snow

For me, weather has always been the element to ruin an outfit. Whether rain or snow, extreme heat or extreme cold, the climate has always in part dictated what I wear. It's a habit of mine to check the weather forecast every morning before school because certain shoes cannot be worn in the rain and certain sweaters should not be worn if the temperature is above freezing.
I should say now that I am not a fan of snow. It looks pretty when it has just fallen, a clean white blanket masking the dullness of cement sidewalks. But within a matter of hours, the serenity of this untouched layer disappears into a mess of gray slush that is unpleasant in every way. This is mostly because I live in New York City, where there is traffic and a multitude of people walking here and there, so I can't speak for everyone. But when it comes to fashion choices during this time, I think most can relate.
I do not do snow boots. Yes, I have a pair of Uggs. (I'm a teenager, after all.) Yes, I wear them when the snow is unbearable. But, really, there's nothing fun about snow boots. Luckily, this season there is a variety of boots to choose from that won't be such a pain to wear. Wondering how to wear yours? Girl Loves Color has the answer.

Calypso St. Barth sweater, Witchery jeans, Juicy Couture snow boots, Basso & Brooke scarf, Wallis earrings, Marni bracelet.

3.1 Phillip Lim cardigan, Reiss blouse, Marc by Marc Jacobs jeans, Sorel snow boots, Amrita Singh earrings, Michael Kors watch.

Rag & Bone cardigan, Modcloth dress, Hue tights, Ugg boots, Yves Saint Laurent ring.
Tips for styling your snow boots:

1. Think of your snow boots as combat boots to make putting your outfits together easier.
2. Use contrast. Snow boots are bulky and feel more masculine; play off of this with light, feminine pieces.
3. Keep in mind the colors of your snow boots. Dark brown and gray call for a cool color scheme. Light brown or camel calls for warmer tones. Black goes with anything.
