The Fab 40's Keeping it Stylish while Staying Warm

The Fab40s' are back bringing you another fantastic theme for the month. Now in case, this is your first time here the " Fab40's " are a group of International bloggers that come together once a month and create our own unique interpretation of a particular theme.  This month the theme "   Staying stylish while staying warm " which I think is perfect this time of the year. 

Living in Indiana the struggle is real it gets quite cold in the winter and you want to stay cute and not freeze your behind off at the same time!  Let's see how we do it! 


The key to keeping warm in the midwest during the cold winter months is layering.  I decided to take a more casual approach to the theme by rocking my overalls.  I added a classic turtleneck and layered with my leopard print coat and topped it off with a fur stole which I have had a mild obsession all season.  This is a look that I would definitely rock over the weekend for a street-chic look. 




I kept the bootie more casual but sexy with the chunky heel and not only are they cute they are actually very comfy.



Loving this color block crossbody a piece that I could rock in so many ways making the $8 deal that I got on it even better :)









                      Now it's time to see how the other Fab 40's are staying warm and stylish!



                                             Sheela from Sheela Writes




Let me tell you Sheela always brings it every month and this one is no exception. I love everything about this look the sexy velvet boots with that gorgeous jacket takes this look to another level! She looks like she was born to attend NWFW she fits in nicely!  You go, girl! 


                                                           Ann - Kremb de la Kremb   
                              


It looks as if Ann likes to keep warm with layers just like I do. Ann's look is so lively and fun and how we need that in these colder temps and dreary days!  I love that Ann incorporates so many trends in one look!  Colorful and cute my dear! 


                                                   Jennie - A Pocketful of Polka Dots



 Jennie and Ann are giving me quite a case of coat envy. I need an animal print fur coat in my life. I love that Jennie keeps her black dress simple and adds all these exciting elements to this look.  She is giving me straight movie star vibes in this look.  The patterned tights are the perfect way to finish off this amazing look!  

                                                      Suzy Turner



  I am so excited that Suzy is a new permanent member of the Fab 40's. Now speaking of coat envy this coat is so cute and love how she picked up the red with her glasses and scarf. I love the classic yet fun look that Suzy is bringing!

  2. Mary, you look gorgeous! I've been wanting a pair of overalls / dungarees for years but every time I try them in a shop, I just look ridiculous! But I'm not giving up – I know the perfect pair for me are out there somewhere lol. I'm so thrilled to have joined the group, Mary! And look forward to seeing what you have in store for us next month.
    Have a great week.
    Hugs

  3. Oh my goodness, Mary, you are so adorable! You have definitely mastered the art of staying warm and stylish! I live in a very cold climate myself and practice does make perfect, clearly as you have exhibited here. If I could find overalls that flatter me, I would totally copy this outfit! Maybe I will just make do with regular distressed jeans because I absolutely love this look!
