When I first got saved It was during the winter months and I always wondered how these Apostolics kept warm! haha! I was like "YALL WEAR SKIRTS YEAR ROUND!!" It blew my mind and all I could think of was how cold it must be to wear skirts in the winter. but then I remembered how I wore jeans or pants and how freezing I was, so it's probably not that bad. And it's really not. I can say I am warmer in the winter now then when I was not in the church. lol. funny.
So usually when we get new babes in Christ they always ask the question "What about in the winter? How do you stay warm?" we have plenty of tips for them and I want to share them here with you because it can get cold! here are some ways to keep warm!
SWEATER TIGHTS
Sweater tights are essential during the winter months! They keep me so warm I am so glad they were created. Unfortunately for me it is hard for me to find sweater tights that fit me. They say they were made for Queens but for some reason the Queen size does not fit these Queen thighs! lol. It gets frustrating but I did find some great sweater tights at Savers and they fit ok. A little tight but they will do for now! Patterns like these help to bring some flavor to the outfit. I love tights with patterns on them!
CARDIGANS
So I am a Cardigan Junkie! I can not get enough of cardigans I say you can never have too many cardigans! They are not only stylish but they also keep me warm! During these cold months I can't leave my house without a cardigan on. A cardigan can pull together an outfit and add that pop of color if you need it. My obsession with cardigans will last until the rapture.
LONG SKIRTS AND DRESSES
Long skirts and dresses are obviously the best choice for winter especially if I am not wearing sweater tights that day. For me they keep the raw cold air from hitting my legs. I always prefer longer skirts or dresses during the winter. Fabrics are also important in terms of keeping warm. Wool is the best kind that keeps you warm from the cold weather. I do not own a wool skirt still looking for one but I work with the clothes I do have and they seem to do the trick. I do own a dress that works well against the cold but I don't know what kind of fabric it is. It was given to me by a friend and it's one of my favorite dresses.
BOOTS
Boots!!! Yes! The best kind of shoe to wear during the winter! Flats just don't cut it and neither do heels…well for me they don't. I hate when my feet are cold it seems like when my feet are cold so is the rest of my body! I usually wear socks with my boots but they are not heavy socks. I do need to invest in some nice thick songs because I do find that my feet get cold even with boots.
LEGGINGS
Leggings is honestly what I wear most! I buy these great leggings from Wal-Mart that keep me so warm and I actually need to buy a few more! Leggings that are lined with Fleece are also great! They also act as a type of girdle for me and YES I rock armor (under garments). My First Lady calls it our armor because it holds everything in and keeps us looking right! no rolls allowed. lol. Leggings are not to be worn as pants and I don't know why they are worn as pants. They are great to wear underneath a skirt or dress but as pants. NAH not my cup of tea.
SWEATERS
Sweaters have always been a winter garment. I don't really wear enough sweaters, remember I do cardigans. But I would like to add more sweaters to my closet. I find it a little hard to style sweaters because they are so bulky. I like to tuck my shirts in my skirts most of the time so sweaters aren't my favorite thing to wear but they keep you warm!! I will try to make it a point to wear more sweaters, I don't have a lot the ones I do have I had them since High School. So yeah…not very cute. lol.
HATS/SCARVES/GLOVES
Scarves and hats are my favorite accessories! They can really complete an outfit. I have a few beanies and scarves but I am always looking to expand my collection. When I leave my scarf at home I feel like I have nothing on, that's how cold I am so scarves are important for me! Hats give me hat hair so when I style my hair to where I can rock a beanie then I wear hats. I do wear hats to church but outside of church I usually don't. Unless I didn't do my hair that day lol. They say heat leaves your body from your head and feet. I agree with the statement but somedays I just can't afford to mess up my hair. lol. Gloves are also a great way to keep warm.
COATS
You always need a good coat! It's self explanatory that coats are essential and you need one if you don't have one. I lean towards coats that are cute and that are stylish. My coat that I own is a basic black coat but its pretty cute. it has this mini peplum effect on the bottom so I love it! It is getting a little tight which means a lifestyle change is in order! But anyways winter coats keep me warm warm warm!
I hope you find this post helpful! There are ways that you can keep warm and still look cute!
