Maison Scotch Coat I Winter Outfit Inspo I Meghan Donovan

We’ve officially reached that time of year where getting dressed is rough. I find myself struggling to pull together outfits and need to look through my archives in order to get dressed in the morning. (It does not help that I’m also on a self-imposed shopping freeze!) We have several months of winter still ahead. So I thought I’d share some winter outfits from years past to give you some inspo when it comes to outfit arranging particularly now that we’re all back to work and having to put aside the leggings/sweaters all day, err day that I know prevails around the holidays. (Tell me it’s not me!)

    See what a positive the shopping freeze can be? Its great to go “shopping” in our own closet every once in awhile. Preferably with the fresh eyes of a good friend (or Amy in my case) and pull out some old favorites we had forgotten about. You look lovely in all of these pulled together looks. Thx for the inspiration Meghan.
    Happy New Year. xo

    OMG this helps so much! Every outfit I tried on this morning, and looked at in the mirror, I would say “too christmasy”, and take it off. This cycle happened multiple times, and was actually quite comical! ahahaha
