Oh the Many Scarves of Winter
If you have been reading Faintly Familiar for some time now, you know that winter fashion and all of its accessories have become one of my favorite times of the year to get all dressed up (despite the weather)! I say the more layers, the more fashion! Today I want to share a few of my favorite scarves that have been in heavy use this season! This long Steve Madden scarf is so easy to wrap around a cute sweater like this winter print one. It adds just that much more warmth and has become the perfect complement to any outfit. I also love this long scarf because of the…

The Sherpa Jacket
Sherpa has officially taken over the winter months as the fabric of the season! I have previously shared how sherpa pullovers have been my go-to top to stay warm during these cold days. Now I want to tell you guys about this cute sherpa jacket that I found (and love). I feel like this jacket could even be worn on the crisp, early mornings of spring. You see, the best part of this simple zip up is the texture. Unlike most other sherpa pieces, this particular jacket is the perfect mix of warm and cool. I also think the hallow circle zipper is a great little touch of something retro.…

How to Add a Little Spring Into Your Winter Wardrobe
I think we can all agree that January can feel a little dreary every once in a while. Between cabin fever and all of the cold weather (depending on your location – if you live near the beach I envy you), it can feel like this whole winter thing may never end. Well, I am here to say there is a better way to create a little reprieve! If you have been reading Faintly Familiar for a while now, you already know that neon has been the “it” color trend since the fall of 2018. I wrote about this trend back in the fall, you can read that post here.…

My Favorite Sherpa Pullover
Sherpa has become one of the trendiest materials of this winter! Sherpa can be found in numerous formats, but personal favorite is the pullover. I have a couple of different sherpa pullovers (because they are so warm and cozy), but the pullover I am going to talk about in this blog post is my personal favorite. Why is this one so special? Well, it is such a pretty mix of colors let’s just start out with that. Not to mention it has pockets (which is an all too rare quality in women’s clothing), this pullover is such a wintertime classic! If you don’t already own something that is sherpa related,…

Why Duck Boots are a Winter Wardrobe Essential
I am not over exaggerating when I say this, if you don’t have a pair of duck boots already you have got to go get a pair today! They are so perfect for casual outfits in the wintertime, and no matter what the weather is they will get you through it! These boots even made it on my “A Few of My Favorite Things” list for winter 2018/19! Duck boots have gotten me through the sludge of fading away snow and puddles of rain. There is no other pair of shoes that are more reliable this time of year. Sometimes I see ladies where rain boots in the snow and…

Snow Day Style
If you have been watching the news as of late you will have heard about how the Midwest (where I happen to live and go to college) just received one of the largest snowstorms in years. Of course, with my luck it happened the weekend before the new semester begins and I must trudge across campus in it. So this got me thinking of all the different ways I could keep warm and still stay cute in the follow week. Today on Faintly Familiar I wanted to share a few of my ideas with you all! A Classic Winter Look Although I don’t advise going into the cold without a…

The Steve Madden Puffer Jacket
As a college student (who is thankfully on winter break until the new year – woohoo!) who walks a lot on a large campus, it is so important to find a warm jacket. It was essential for me to also find one that has a hood on it in case it gets extra freezing outside. One of my favorite places to shop is Kohl’s, and that is where I found this pretty warm jacket! Steve Madden has scored again with this piece! It is not only a beautiful shade of purple, but it is also the warmest jacket I have ever owned. I love that fact that it has a…

The Electric Blue Cowl Neck Sweater
The winter season is creeping upon us as we all prepare for the holidays. Along with the changing season is much colder weather, but I am not afraid of being cold this year! This cowl neck sweater will be keeping me warm without having to wear a scarf. Normally I don’t love having tight or bulky things up around my neck, but with this cowl neck styled sweater I don’t have to worry about tying a tight scarf around my neck! At the same time, I also don’t have to worry about feeling constrained by the material. A cowl sweater is such a wintertime essential, in my opinion, and can…

A Classic Neutral Look
Now that Labor Day is officially over, what should we wear instead of white? I have the perfect alternative! Grey, camel, or black are all fantastic neutrals that can replace the white you may normally wear. One really easy and simple way to pull off a neutral look is to throw on a grey t-shirt, some shorts or jeans, and black shoes. Everything about this look is timeless, you will never regret wearing a basic! That is how easy it is to put together a classic neutral ensemble like this one! To create a neutral outfit for fall or winter, wear a camel sweater with black skinny jeans and some cute…
