Ok... I've decided Winter 09/10 will be all about layering! It seems like it'll be a cold, windy winter so I'm going with (layered) bulky paired with slim/slick accessories... How? Get a non-structured coat (bulky) and be sure to layer to the nth power underneath, then rock some skinny jeans or tights or both at the bottom with a slim lightweight purse.
AND PAIR SOME BASIC COLORS (black, gray, blue, brown) with a SPLASH OF COLOR. I like splashes in the winter and blocks of color in the spring... that's just me.
