Here’s a sobering fact: Today is the most depressing day of the year. While you can’t crawl back into bed and magically wake up on a white sand beach with a cocktail in hand, you can pep up your day with a fun outfit. Ditch the black puffer, generic jeans, and sweater for something with a little more action. Start with a colorful sweater and a non-black skirt combo like this midi teal version by Veda worn with Ganni’s yellow-and-tan turtleneck. The length will keep your legs warm (especially if you add tights) while the two colors play off each other nicely.
Throw a patterned coat over like this heavy-duty printed suede number by Opening Ceremony for texture, though if you want the same feeling at a lower price, a faux-fur version also does the trick. Finish with sculptural hoop earrings plus sensible black ankle boots and you’re ready to deal with this terrible day.
