JB & Me Scarf

My most unique article of clothing is a scarf I received for Christmas last year from my sister in law. It is from a store called JB & Me in Michigan. It is colorful, fun, and trendy. I get so many comments and compliments on it from friends, family and even strangers. It is mostly horizontal stripes, in blues, oranges, purples, and yellows. The scarf’s colors and pattern flows well together, so it is not just plain and flat stripes. It matches almost anything I wear, and looks great wrapped with a winter coat. It is also very warm for the cold winters in Michigan.

Black Wool Women’s Coat

I have a great winter coat that is my favorite piece of winter clothing.  It is black wool, a three quarter length coat, with gold buttons all the way down the front.  It looks almost like a military style jacket, it has lapels on the shoulders with gold buttons as well, it is a warm coat and great looking as well.  I purchased it at an outlet store a few years ago and generally wear it on occasions when I need a nicer coat.  Even though it is my favorite I try not to wear it everyday, I like to save it for something a little more special.

Women’s Long Formal Black Coat

My favorite thing to wear in the winter is my long formal black coat with my thick pink scarf. This coat is unlike any other winter coat; it gives my body a great shape yet is incredibly warm. It’s not like those other super-warm coats that make you look like a marshmallow! I love to wear it on a night out on the town. My pink embroidered scarf compliments the coat perfectly. I bought the scarf while on vacation in Rome, so it also holds very special memories for me, and I can remember that first trip to Rome every time I put it on. It’s a beautiful shade of dark pink elaborately embroidered with a floral pattern, with lighter pink and green accents. There’s just a touch of sparkle to make the scarf really pop against my black coat.

Scarves As Fashion Statements

My favorite article of winter clothing is a scarf.  Scarves keep you warm where you most need it: your neck, face, and head. They can be easily taken off and put back on as you go in and out of buildings or cars—much better and easier climate control than bulky sweaters or coats.  Scarves can also function as fashion statements.  There is a large variety of types of scarves on the market, and you can make a statement about how you are and what you like by your choice of scarf.  Scarves can also be tied and wrapped around you in a variety of ways, creating a even greater fashion statement.

Dressing In Layers

It is so important in the winter to not only dress warmly but smartly.  When  you are out and about shopping or visiting friends, you will be going in and out of heated and unheated areas.  Therefore, dressing in layers will help you to be comfortable.  I always have my winter coat on top, then a zip up or button up shirt/sweater, and finally a T-shirt.  Having these three items on enables me to be snuggly warm outside or cool and comfy in a hot area inside.  It is also important to dress in layers to help stay warm.  The layers enable body heat to be trapped in-between them, thus creating an insulating system for you.  Stay warm this winter!
