Winter was in full force this week, and it made getting dressed less than fun. When it’s this cold, you just don’t want to leave your bed much less get dressed. With 20 degree temps, I went with layers and heavy coats but with meetings, tights and dresses also made it into the equation, as you’ll see from my roundup of what I wore the last week of January 2018. Once again, black and more black reigned supreme. I don’t know. It’s just easier to dress in neutrals that always look chic and black is one of them. In fact, it’s the fashion editors secret really. Everyone in the industry, but ironically, especially the fashion editors, relies on all-black for most of their wardrobe.
But I couldn’t help but play with a pop of color with a fun dress I’ve had my eye on forever and finally found at a great price on the Real Real. I saw it on another editor colleague/friend and had to have it. It’s the perfect cold-weather dress with the sleeves and maxi length, and versatile print. I love how I can wear it all winter but it’ll take me into spring too and then work again next fall. I really need more long sleeve dresses that’ll work in the colder months so it was a worthwhile investment for me. I’ve been playing around with graphics this week too. What do you think? Do you like them better than just the pics? Let me know.
Here’s what I wore the last week of January 2018.
I kicked off the week with a Grammys hangover. Sadly, it’s not as sexy as it sounds, after working the Grammys Sunday night, I was in no mood to get up for work Monday morning. The all black dressed up the jeans and oversized sweater and these chelsea boots were more polished than sneakers but comfy and kept my ankles warmer. I wish I could have worn sunglasses all day to hide my bags.
Tunic sweater; Cropped flare jeans; Vince boots (old but similar here); Sunglasses
With some major meetings and an after-work event, I went with a statement dress that I knew would make me feel good. I combatted the below-20 temps by going with a longer style and layering leggings underneath and finishing off with tall boots.
Maxi dress; Black suede boots; Earrings
For another day packed with meetings, I wanted to look nice but a little more fashun, so I went with a leather mini. Since it’s freezing, I added over the knee boots and tights and warm layers on top. This look also worked well for a cocktail thing I had to pop by on my way home.
Shearling jacket; Turtleneck sweater; Leather mini skirt (old but similar here for a steal); over the knee boots; Tote
Whenever I don’t feel like getting dressed but I have stuff at work that calls for me to look put-together I wear this shirtdress. It’s easy, looks polished and these boots couldn’t be comfier making it a win.
Shirtdress (Iris & Ink old but similar here); Shearling jacket; Lace-up ankle boots
My version of casual Friday when I have to look like I somewhat tried but I just want to be in sweats. I wanted nothing more than to come home and watch Netflix and eat pizza, and just wanted something that was nice enough for a few meetings but comfy enough to feel like the weekend had started because what a long week, right?
Shearling coat; Wide leg pants; Cashmere sweater; Sneakers
And that’s what I wore the last week of January 2018. See you next week!
