I call this look 'the grad student' because my inspiration photo and I look like we are headed to the library to study. :-) You don't have to be a student to rock this look though. This comfy and incredibly warm outfit is perfect for grown-up errands and playdates alike!

Why this works: Lots of layers keep you warm in the winter but they can also make you look bulky. Keep your layers unbuttoned and open for a much slimmer silhouette that will still keep you warm. (you can always wrap your sweater tighter if you catch a chill!)

ps. I added a shiny new toy to the blog (Disqus) so the comment section looks different. I'm really excited about it and hope it makes commenting and responding much easier for everyone! Let me know what you think!
