If you live in a place that’s cold (freezing) at least half of the year, then you know the feeling of being so fed up with your go-to winter coat, only to realize that it’s mid-season and you still have three more months of wearing this and only this. Just me? I hope not… #realNewEnglandwinter
January is when the cold really sets in, yet by this point I’ve been throwing on the same one or two coats for the past two months. Honestly, it makes me feel even more ‘blah’ than the freezing slush outside does. So, I’m determined to feel better about that same old winter uniform by picking up some cold weather accessories to add something new to the mix.

Hats
To me, a hat is where I’ll always start when it comes to cold weather accessories. Not only are they extremely functional/necessary, but they also can add so much style to a look. Whether you prefer something more trendy or enjoying sticking to the classics, a good hat is a winter must-have.
Gloves
Another winter must have is a warm pair of gloves. For a long time I really didn’t care what gloves I’d throw on while walking out the door… but then last year I noticed a woman on the street in a thick wool coat and a pair of beige leather gloves and I was sold. There was so much ‘put togetherness’ about her, and I give all of the credit to those gloves!

Scarves
Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like scarves are underrated. Whenever I see some street style inspiration involving an oversized blanket scarf wrapped up tight or a lightweight cashmere version adding extra dimension to an outfit, I always think, “why aren’t I doing that?!” Scarves are an awesome way to revive your winter wardrobe.
***FYI this Barbour Beadnell wax jacket is on sale right now!

Sunglasses
While often dismissed as strictly a warm weather accessory, sunglasses can be a super fun way to finish off an outfit, even in the winter. In contrast to summer where I’m reaching for wire frames and lightweight styles, winter is the time when I feel more comfortable experimenting with something more bold.
Hello! I love this post. I was definitely needing some midwinter refresh inspiration. Could you please provide the information about the first picture where the model (you?) is wearing a pretty white knit sweater and a blue and grey and white stripe scarf? It’s the picture right next to the hat section. I love those items and would like to get them to incorporate them into my winter wardrobe. Thank you very much! I love your blog! I am so glad I found you. I enjoy your posts very much. Best wishes, Kathy
Thanks Kathy! The sweater is from Talbots and the scarf is from Ann Taylor but unfortunately both are a few years old.
obsessed with your jacket in the third (sunglassess!) pic. who makes it?! xxx
Thanks Sarah! It’s old I think from Nordstrom. I will find original links to the blog posts and include them in here.
