A week of winter style | Planning vs winging it?

Five winter outfits, all following simple formulaic combinations; something I mentioned last week. And what this shows is, that despite having a “uniform” rule, there’s no homogeneity here. Each outfit is different, yet still feels put together. When in doubt, a dress is always an easy option. Throw on, and go.
