Embrace the season was the heading for one of the emails I received. Now currently it’s winter and it can be real hard to try to embrace the season when you’re constantly freezing. I have spoken many times on the blog, I am not a fun of winter. Being a summer baby has that effect on me, I prefer to dress less than in layers. Prefer slippers, sandals to boots though I do love my recent additions of boots too much. It did take me a while to think of Fashionable ways I could embrace the season {winter} without complaining.
Ways to embrace the season this winter
- Drinking lots of hot chocolate
- Sleeping with my electric blanket on
- Snuggling up on the sofa watching movies
- Exercising at home or at the gym
- Dressing up in snuggling and warm boots
- Layering* (though I am not a fun of layering I am embracing it)
There are so many ways one can embrace the season this winter. As a self-proclaimed fashion blogger, it calls to my inner fashionista to create outfits that embrace winter. Obviously my New Beginnings outfit left something to be desired (open toes), this week I am thinking warmth.
I finally decided what to use my £100’s worth of points at work, I got £25 new look card, M&S, Amazon and Argos. All cards that I need for something specific and for the New Look card, I purchased this Grey Belted Longline Coat. I have a blue one from Anastasia so made sense to add this to my collection, besides grey is awesome in winter. What I love about this coat is that it’s a perfect length, very warm and had deep pockets which is perfect in winter.
To embrace the season and keep the outfit simple was an easy feat for me, I am all about comfortable and simple outfits. Because I work 9-5, I am always in doors 90% of the time during the week and only get to dress chilled over the weekend. Though rare, when I am out and about or traveling over the weekend you will certainly find me in jeans. Jeans are so easy to wear, can be styled up or down and can be worn practically anywhere. That’s why I chose them and my new coat as the way I was going to embrace the season.
How are you going to embrace the season this winter?

I really do not like winter at all but these are some ways to make it more enjoyable. I love making different variations of hot chocolate.
Emma - Our Fairytale Adventure says
I like winter fashion, although with all the layering it costs twice as much as my summer wardrobe. I’m starting to regret all the hot chocolate I have been drinking throughout autumn and winter now, a few of my clothes are getting a bit snug! I love the shoes in you’ve picked out in your post.
Jenni - Odd Socks & Lollipops says

Yeah I’m going to be needing the coat, the boots, the scarf and the sunglasses. How cute. I so want them.
Jennifer Parker-Gilbert says
That grey belted longline coat is gorgeous! I like to embrace the season with hot chocolate and snuggling under blankets on the couch, as well.
Briana Marie says
I’ve definitely been embracing the winter with lots of hot chocolate and green tea. I would like to do more snuggling under a warm blanket while watching a good movie.And I’m doing my Yoga at home 3 days per week instead of going out to the group classes at my gym. I don’t like having to go out in the cold much. Lol.
Rose Mont says
I sadly do not have a electric blanket but I’m sure if I did I would never leave it. I saw one last year that worked with rechargeable batteries. I’m always cold so I don’t need winter to help me dress in layers or sweaters. I love some hot chocolate. I should go on a mission to find our who has the best cup!
T-Nicole Johnson says
I will be embracing this winter under my warm blanket. I also plan to drink lots of hot chocolate and chai tea.

Clara Myers says
I could definitely embrace that grey coat. It’s amazing and so stylish.
Latricia says
I am not good with layers either. I should be because it is really cold here in Wisconsin. I am definitely trying to embrace the season by not complaining as much about the weather. I hate the cold but I am trying to appreciate the good things about Winter.
tara pittman says
I tend to drink more coffee and tea in the winter. I also keep my soft warm robe on all day
Maryanne says
Love a warm tea in front of the fireplace!
Sarah Bailey says
I used to exercise a lot during the winter because it keeps me hot and thirsty, so I can still drink the right amount of water needed every single day.
Divya @ Eat. Teach. Blog. says
I am definitely embracing the season because we’ve got lots of snow days! Hahaha 🙂 I haven’t left my apartment. I’m just curled up next to my space heater 🙂
Amy Shellman says
Getting cozy on the couch with my laptop or a good book is how i generally spend my down time in winter.. I do love every item you have pictured too!! They are gorg. Love the coat!
Amber says
I am with you on the drinking hot chocolate one. I do that. Panera Bread has an AMAZING one. I also love snuggling on the sofa.

Drinking lots of hot chocolate is a really good way to embrace the winter for sure! I really love that sweatshirt with a gigant bow! Super cute!
