When it comes to February fashion week we can usually expect the weather to cause a few problems when it comes to deciding what to wear. I think most of us thought we might luck out this year given the number of 50 degree days and lack of snow we've had all winter. But it seems Mother Nature had a different plan. A little snow, a few days of frigid temperatures, all adds up to a determination of how to look chic while bundling head to toe.

After a rather crazy couple of weeks,  I opted to take the weekend off and lay low with the exception of Saturday brunch with a few friends and bloggers who were in town for the shows. So leave it to me to figure out how to wear glorified pajamas out in public. I bought these Zara pants a few months ago and haven't worn them all that much due to the fact that they are indeed two sizes too big for me. However, a little snowfall seemed the perfect opportunity to break them out. A long vest and cozy sweater combined with a few bits of glitz took this seemingly slouchy ensemble up a notch.

I always feel a few well placed accessories and a bright lip make the outfit - what are you go to tricks when you're looking to jazz up an outfit?
