If you’re anything like me, then chances are you’ve been getting pretty bored of winter fashion. Pretty much right after New Year’s, I feel ready to tuck away the sequins and sweaters and begin to yearn for the days of sunshine and sundresses. Pinterest suddenly seems filled with images of beach vacations, cute shorts, and adorable swimsuits – and I can’t help but feel over this cold weather.

Unfortunately, no matter how much we want for summer to come in a hurry – we can’t control the weather. What we can control is our attitude and our wardrobes! It’s about this time of year that we all need a little refresh on our style and our outlook, so rather than continuing to torture yourself with images of summer on Pinterest – scroll down to find the 10 pieces you NEED to instantly refresh your winter wardrobe!

10 Pieces that will Instantly Refresh your Winter Wardrobe

1. Hats Galore

Nothing refreshed a look quite like a hat. There’s something about a great stylish hat that instantly adds a bit of attitude to a look. I personally am drawn to statement hats in bold colours such as red and pink to brighten up a neutral look.

2. A New Coat

Getting sick of your usual coat? Revamp your winter look with a new jacket or coat! Having a couple of coats to choose from each day will offer a bit more variety to your winter style. I recommend investing in a chic leather jacket and trench coat to really add some versatility to your winter wardrobe.

3. A Berry-tone Lipstick

Warm up your winter look with a pretty berry tone lip colour. Berry tones are great transitional colours to use during the months between winter and spring, and they will really refresh your winter makeup look.

4. A Graphic Sweater

Graphic t-shirts have been all the rage, and now it’s time to add in graphic sweaters to your wardrobe. Think of these sweaters as the perfect comfort-meets-style piece for your wardrobe.

5. Cute Rainboots

There is still a lot more rain in store for us here in Vancouver, so if you haven’t invested in a pair of rain boots – now’s the time! A cute pair of rainboots may be just what you need to add a bit more pizazz to your winter style (plus, you’ll look totally adorable even on the rainiest of days!)

6. Dainty Gloves

One thing I can’t stand during the winter is cold hands. When my hands are cold, I am not happy. Finding a pair of cute gloves that covers A) style, B) warmth, and C) function is highly important to me. I like to be able to wear them with everything in my wardrobe, be comfortable, and still be able to text + call when I am wearing them.

7. A Expensive-looking Handbag

Here’s the thing, just because you don’t have the budget for a pricy new bag doesn’t mean you can’t find one that looks expensive. When it comes to finding a bag that looks like it’s a bajillion dollars, you’re going to want to pay attention to a few details: 1. The Material, 2. The details, and 3.The Quality. You want the material to look like real leather or suede, keep an eye out for unique detailing (like a quilted look, or gold details), and search for a bag that has strong stitching so it doesn’t fall apart on you!

8. An Oversized Knit in a Fresh Spring Colour

As long as it’s cold out, knits will be a must-have item in your closet. Take a different approach to your knits though and look for a knit in a lighter springy colour. I personally love pastel coloured knits!

9. White Denim

White jeans are something I love year round, but during the winter they really offer a refreshed take on winter style. Rather than sticking to your usual blue jeans, swap them out for a crisp pair of white denim for a brighter look.

10. Ripped Denim

Distressed torn denim has to be some of my favourite jeans to wear. I love their effortless look and the casual ease of them.

Don't forget a really fun scarf! 🙂
I added 2 new coast to my closet so far this year (although one is a bit snug so I can't wear it with much – haha!)
