New York Winter Layers

New York is a fickle girl in the winter time. She is bitterly cold and if you are not prepared, she may bite off your nose.

For me, I am known amongst my friends to be a notorious hater of puffy-ness. I do not own own puffy down jackets. No sir! Who wants walk around looking like a marshmallow when there are cute boys to look for? ;) Add onto the fact that I am quite a petite gal and it could end up being a recipe for disaster.

So what do I do??

The only option for me is to layer. I love layers. Can't have too much. In the end, I can still look chic & stylish without too much bulk. So I wear my outfit layered under leather/blazer jackets with my crazy warm wool jackets with scarves, beanies, multiple layers of tights and jeans bundled on top. Oh yes, we must not forget those touch-sensitive gloves. You don't want to have to take off your gloves in this fiercely cold weather to reply to those text messages.
