Winter Fashion Pick-Me-Ups

Categories: accessories

6 comments

Now that the hustle and bustle of the holidays is behind us, the time has come to venture into the season of winter BLAH. You know, the cold and dark months of January and February, when many of us desperately crave sunlight and warmer temperatures.

Seasonal Affective Disorder rears its ugly head in full force during these months, and many people find that sitting in front of an artificial light source is helpful in curing their winter blues. According to many professionals, that brightness can help to lighten moods.

Well, what about our fashion choices? Is it possible that brightly-colored accessories could pull us out of our personal fashion doldrums in the upcoming months?

Let’s test the theory, shall we? The next time you wake up cursing the depressingly cold weather, throw on a bright scarf or hair accessory. Maybe even a rosy-colored cream blush to give you a flushed, I’ve-just-been-caught-frolicking look. See if you can lighten your mood by the simple act of adding color to your wardrobe, and I bet you’ll be surprised.

Take a look at these fun, inexpensive (every item is under $20!) winter pick-me-ups.

Chrysanthemum Ring - $12, Etsy

Square Wool Scarf - $19.99, Martin + Osa

Solid Color Tights - $12.50, We Love Colors (45 colors to choose from!)

  • I hit the sales New Years Day (I really shouldn’t have, I work for one of those companies that’s in the news) and everything I bought is green or blue. I love green and blue! Why, this fall, did I think I loved only black, charcoal and chocolate?
