Bringing Out the Dark Side in My Style
My boyfriend and I just returned from a trip to Breckenridge with his family, and I loved spending more time in the cold winter weather after the warm days in Fort Lauderdale. I wore this look downtown when I took a break from the slopes to shop for the day and went for the dark side of winter style that feels simple, warm, and easy to wear. 
Coat: T Tahari (other colors here and here) //Sweater: Vince (old, similar here and here) // Leather Leggings: Ann Taylor on MAJOR SALE! // Boots: Tory Burch (old, similar here and here) // Bag: Rebecca Minkoff // Gloves: Target (old, similar here)
Finding the Perfect Pieces for My Dark Side Look
This sweater became an instant favorite. I found it at a local TJMaxx last season where they offer higher-end luxury brands. It has a huge cowl neck that works like a scarf, so I don’t need any extra accessories when I wear it. If you love classic knits, read here for more Vince sweater styles I adore.
My leather leggings were a whole other story! I was on a mission to find the perfect pair. I don’t know about you, but leggings are tough for me. They’re either too tight in the waist or entirely too loose. Then, they’re either too baggy or too tight in the legs. After buying and returning about 5 other pairs, I found these last fall. They’re lined on the inside, and even though they are faux leather, the quality is great. If you love styling faux leather pieces, check out this post. I’m completely obsessed with grey right now, so I topped off the look with a grey wrap coat and bag.
Who Says Winter Style Can’t Be Warm?
This look shows that the dark side of fashion can still feel warm and inviting. With soft knits, sleek leggings, and simple layers, it’s all about feeling confident and stylish without trying too hard. I love how these darker tones bring a touch of sophistication to a casual winter outfit while keeping me comfortable all day. It’s a reminder that even on chilly days, fashion can be both practical and effortlessly chic.
