DENIM JACKET / PUFFER / LEGGINGS / SHIRT (similar) / BOOTS
I've gotten more out of my layers this winter than all my winters in the past! I've been layering my outerwear a ton and I'm really digging the flexibility. I can easily inject a little texture and personality in my outfits, and I can invest in layers that I will be able to wear on their own later when it warms up a touch.
This denim jacket has been so fun to have peeking out from underneath my long Camel-colored coat, or today with my lightweight puffer. On a day where it's in the 50's, this combo kept me warm enough. My French Cuffed shirt with the sleeves peeking through adds a bit of femininity and kept the look from being too sleek. (Those leather leggings are sleek enough, thank you very much...!)
So think about what you own and layer it up! Dig through your closet and find that really fitted jacket or coat and slip it under your bulkier outerwear to keep you warm. And looking cool. :)
