HOLIDAY OUTERWEAR: FAUX FUR SCARF AND PLAID COAT

The Steele Maiden: Holiday outerwear - faux fur scarf and plaid coat

Of all the pieces I first debuted at the beginning of the holiday season (see them all in my ‘Complete Guide to the Holidays), this plaid coat and faux fur scarf have easily gotten the most wear since then. Okay this flannel sleepshirt is in the running.. but the first two have definitely seen the most light of day.

WINTER OUTERWEAR: FAUX FUR VEST AND BERET

The Steele Maiden: Winter Outerwear - faux fur vest, beret and over the knee boots

We had our first dusting of snow last night in New York (it actually started just as we were finishing these photos) and it was a clear reminder that winter is in fact.. coming. I’d be lying if I said that fact wasn’t a little bit heart-heavy to me, so I’m trying to combat the winter blues with unexpected outerwear options. That means trading my standard coat for a long faux fur vest and wool jacket combo (together they’re just as warm as your duffle coat I swear). And skipping my usual go-to knit beanie for a trés chic wool beret instead.

Which is why piling on stripes, sequins and faux fur to all at once seemed completely rational last week.

Classic holiday style with Talbots - white midi skirt, velvet blazer and faux fur scarf

Whether you have a fancy Thanksgiving dinner with family, a corporate Christmas party or an annual trip to see the Nutcracker – I find myself in need of at least one classic holiday style each year. One that’s less sequin mini dress and more polished midi skirt. This year I wanted to think beyond your typical red and green and went with a ‘winter whites’ inspired look with hints of navy and festive gold. And if you’re in need of more holiday style inspiration – be sure to check out part one of my ‘Complete Guide to the Holidays‘.

CASUAL HOLIDAY STYLE WITH TALBOTS: BUFFALO PLAID CAPE AND SUEDE LOAFERS

The Steele Maiden: Buffalo Plaid Cape and Suede Loafers - Casual Holiday Style with Talbots

There’s a point in the season where I stop fretting over the fact that winter is coming and starting being full out incredibly excited for the holidays. The day I put this buffalo plaid cape on was my turning point. The bright red bicycle trimmed like a tree certainly didn’t hurt either.
