Embracing Winter In Winter Whites

We are in the thick of winter, and I am LOVING it! 


Before you click out or unfollow me because you are over winter or hate the cold and have been counting down to  spring, let me elaborate...
Not a fan of subzero weather, my ideal winter temps are sunny with temperatures between 30-55 degrees. I don't adore winter for the activities, although determined to attempt snow shoeing one day soon. I prefer the white stuff to stay on the trees and grass where it’s beautiful, and not on the roads, because I dis like driving in it nor do I like driving alongside reckless drivers who speed regardless of road conditions. Beside those things, I love everything else. I love when it snows, its so tranquil and lovely. Since we are the mile high city (5,280 miles above sea level), we get intense sunshine practically everyday. Once the sun sparkles, the snow normally melts immediately, but somehow linger a little longer on trees and bushes resulting in picturesque snow scenes wherever we go.

< span sty le="background: white;">I also adore winter for the fashions (it's a shallow reason, I know), i.e. chic coats, gloves, boots, fur, leather, layers upon layers, and the darker, richer hues. On the opposite side of the color spectrum are winter whites.  

There is something that is ultra chic about off white in the winter. Against the snow, the look is crisp, rich, and clean.  When styling this one color palette look, I opted to play around with shades and textures. For instance, styling this thick, cable knit, sweater against pants which are a softer fabric and lighter shade, then adding pops of snake print here and there. My look is completed with an off white park a, a kni t cable hat (which has been in heavy rotation lately), a statement necklace, and one of my favorite burgundy lip colors, Copenhangen by NYX.
