The View From 5 Ft. 2

Drape Front Jacket

I have to admit, my winter rotation is getting a bit stale. Sweaters, jeans, boots, repeat. You probably know exactly what I’m talking about! Getting dressed up is trickier in the winter and let’s be honest.. there’s not a ton of motivation.

Every now and then I feel like I need to do it just to give myself that mental kick in the pants. I had been feeling a little less inspired lately so decided to pull out my go-to’s for a wintery dressed up day.

I have 3 pieces that I rely on for such a task: a simple long sleeve dress, my over the knee boots and a neutral jacket.

This long sleeve dress is a great budget buy and foundation for just about any great jacket or cardigan. A jacket like this is an easy extra layer and the faux leather is actually super warm and keeps the heat in. There’s another version of the same style in a gray blue that’s on sale, too! It’s a great transitional piece going into spring, too.

The finishing touch is to add some extra layering for the wintery wind, so I used this belt to cinch my scarf. I’ve seen a few looks pop up on Pinterest with a western belt and I’ve been wearing it with everything. What are your favorite pieces to pull out when you’re trying to dress up in the winter?
