affordable winter favorites
For anyone who knows me and my unwavering love of sunshine, you know that summer is definitely my favorite season, but there’s something about winter fashion that I find so fun! Chunky sweaters, structured coats, and fluffy beanies are my jam, but it can be tricky to find affordable pieces that are still soft and great quality. Spring is hopefully right around the corner, but a lot of us are still wearing layers to get through these final chilly months before the flowers pop! Plus, it’s a great time to snag some deals as stores turn over for spring, so I wanted to share some of my favorite finds from this winter season.
American Eagle Fair Isle Sweater - My fiancé Sean got me this sweater for Christmas and its been one of my winter favorites! Yellow is my happy color and the pattern on this is so pretty. I vary between smalls and mediums with sweaters, but this one is definitely on the larger/chunkier side, so I’m happy I went with a small.
Topshop Lily Knit Back Midi Coat - I’ve been wanting a grey coat for the longest time but hadn’t wanted to shell out $$$ for one, so when this one came on sale I knew it was perfect! I sized down to a 4 in this one (I’m typically a 6-8 in Topshop). It’s not as warm as other coats I have in this style, but for our moderate Seattle winters, the weight was perfect for me. Plus it’s a great piece to wear into spring. I probably wear this coat 3x a week at least!
Topshop Jamie Jeans - When it comes to affordable jeans, these Topshop jeans win every day! They’re a little thicker than my Madewell high waisted jeans, so I typically won’t wear them on long car rides or anywhere I have to be sitting for a long period of time, but for any other occasion, these are definitely my go-to. I have them in 4 washes and will likely buy another pair or two. I wear my true size in these (28) but they do feel pretty snug right after washing, so if you’re in between I’d recommend sizing up a little.
Steve Madden Langeston Hiker Boots - These boots are such a great all purpose winter boot! The treads on the bottom make them perfect for pretty much any weather condition and the yellow laces are too fun. I sized up a .5 size so I could wear them with thick socks since they don’t have any insulation of their own.
