9 Ways I Plan on Styling All My Winter Basics This Year

Winter dressing is a constant repetition of all of those items you simply have to wear because it's cold outside. You know the ones—oversize sweaters, chunky boots, puffers, and more. After a while, it can feel like you've exhausted all of the outfit combinations possible to make that said basic look cool again. Since I'm no personal stylist, I tend to rely on all those women who are drastically cooler than me to inspire my necessary wardrobe updates, and today, I'm sharing all of my finds with you. 

I scrolled through one of my favorite street style sites, Style du Monde, for a handful of new winter outfits I can wear with all of my basics. Since most of those classic items are non-negotiable when it comes time to get dressed every day, I figured why continue to choose to get inspired by outfits that require buying tons of new items when I could, instead, tailor my search toward looks that incorporate items I already own? By now, surely, you're curious what I found, so go ahead and see the nine new ways I plan on styling all my winter basics this year.
