During the winter time we just want to resist the urge of bundling up and
looking like a puffy snowman, I mean there's nothing wrong with it but it's a
struggle to look cute during the winter time. This is episode #3 where I talk
through how I like to put together outfits. Today I wanted to share with you
three outfit ideas and my formula on how to layer so if you guys enjoyed today's
video be sure to subscribe and don't forget to follow me on Instagram to join
this month's holiday giveaway because I have a lot of great prizes that I want
to give back to you guys so without further ado let's get started
at the end of the month I'm heading to Toronto Canada and I heard that the
weather is very very cold and it's my first time experiencing extreme winter
so for my face layer I'm wearing these skinny jeans from cap they're super
stretchy and I'm wearing this white mock neck top from forever 21 so the first
layer is a flannel shirt this one's quite oversized so it's perfect for
layering the next layer is this fleece top I'm just going to lay it on top I'm
going to hold the sleeves so that it doesn't get bunched up you know so it
actually reaches the end here I would recommend buttoning up this final top
because you don't want any of the air to blow through especially with the crop
top underneath I really wish I had a longer top and then let's tuck this in
we want to keep all the layers nice and insulated finally for my top layer and
ones with this Alexis jacket with this faux fur lining on the inside from Zara
it's so heavy and thick but it's perfect for extreme cold winter seasons and I
love this hoodie I'm like a giant Eskimo first socks I have two types I have the
wool type and then this is like a fuzzy sock I definitely prefer the wool socks
because it keeps my feet nice and dry and warm whereas the fuzzy socks
sometimes can be kind of slippery and they stretch over time but these ones
are tall over the new one so you could tuck it in underneath your pants for an
extra layer of warmth all right don't judge me I have like the cutest socks
ever so I like to tuck it underneath the jeans so that's easier to put on my
waterproof snow bears and then these duck boots kept me so warm when I was in
Iceland they're waterproof I know that kinda chunky and not the most
fashionable boots but I still love them last but not least we have to add on top
some accessories so I love this beanie I've had it for two years now and then
it keeps my head nice and warm plus I love the pom-pom detail and then for my
scarf I just have this nice luscious white one which makes me think of snow
for the winter time now you might be thinking what are you going to do if I
your hands your fingers are going to freeze off you're going to lose them
don't forget to bring your gloves I'm so cold so here is my base layer for outfit
number two on top I'm wearing this let us have mock neck sweater and then for
bottoms I have my airy leggings on I love them because of the pockets so for
my first layer I'm going to add on top this on top this layer for layer three
I'm going to add on top my fleece zip up jacket so as always hold on to all the
layers while you put on your sleeves it definitely helps with keeping everything
nice flat and streamlined for my outer layer I'm going to add this oversized
wool coat from Korea it's nice and oversized so when it comes to coats
sometimes I like to size up just so I can layer underneath so the coat is a
size medium whereas my tops are a size extra small or small so you have an
option of hiding this middle layer underneath the coat so you can't really
see it so it's pretty much hidden put on the Hat so I wanted to match my
hat with my shoes so I have these cute burgundy ankle booties with a bow on the
side I'll have these link down below because I love them and they're super
comfortable when it comes to layering socks
I like Tasha tuck it in underneath my leggings just because I don't want them
to show alright so here is the sock that's tucked underneath the leggings
and this one has the soft peeking out definitely prefer this look looks a lot
cleaner whereas this one's a little bit that is nice because my socks are kind
of blue at the bottom and it doesn't match now let's top it all off with a
scarf the scarf is great because it kind of hides all of the layers in case you
don't blur them off but if you do you're welcome to ditch the scarf and just show
off all of your cute under layers you guys challenge me to style sweats into
an outfit and I thought why not keep sweats in the casual loungewear family
and not trying to make it into something that it's not
I feel like my you see a lot of people styling sweats with high heels which
doesn't really make sense for me I think swatch should be kept as a loungewear
item that super casual comfy so I like wearing sweatpants after the gym or when
I'm running errands so on top I'm wearing my favorite sports bra this
one's from Lululemon and then my sweatpants today are from Uniqlo
now I'm going to show you my favorite layered outfit for a post gym just for a
casual running errands so I went to layer top this hemily for the wintertime
I love a packable down jacket this one actually packs down to about this little
itty bitty size over this I like to put on a denim jacket and I promise I wear
socks in real life it's just for the purpose of my youtube video is that
sometimes I don't put on socks because it's pretty annoying to change I know
honestly I have the ugliest socks they're always these thick sport socks
but I love them so this is one of my quintessential outfit ideas for a post
gym
next we're going to layer with a leather skirt so I'm determined to make a
leather skirt and a dress work in this layering video this look is perfect for
an office holiday party or just like a dressier more formal occasion on top I'm
wearing the mock neck top with the lenez hem and then for bottoms I'm wearing
this leather skirt that I've had for over five years from Zara to spice
things up I added some polka dot sheer tights and then my velvet booties I
realized I don't get the opportunity to wear a blazer very often but what I do
makes me want to do a power pose and then over top I'm going to throw in top
this ever Lane coat this one is a very structure nice and thick as you can see
this coat is very large and kind of oversized and overwhelming for this
outfit a great clothing hack for coats is to look for one with a soft tie so
just bring it to the back pull it together and then tie it into a bow and
tada here is the final look I love that this coat definitely covers a blazer so
you can't actually see it when it's layered on top so when you're out and
about no one can tell that you're super layered and very warm and cozy so if
