Details: ASOS faux leather overalls ∙ Zara high neck top – similar ∙ Coach booties

I’m so over defending myself from the winter weather. As much as I appreciate every layer on my body when I endure the 20 degrees that keeps on dropping, sometimes carrying the extra weight can get to ya – especially when your daily commute to work is only a few short blocks. And when inside, keeping track of layer after layer that’s removed is downright disturbing. There needs to be a limit to layering, especially for people like myself who freeze easily yet somehow run on hot (anyone else agree?)

Investing in a great pair of insulating faux/real leather overalls can dramatically change the way you dress for those freezing commutes. In replace of a multitude of above waist layers and accessories, a pair of tights worn underneath help to maintain the warmth while a high neck long sleeve gives shelter like a scarf would. Unlike cotton that breathes and catches all the cold breezes, these overalls serve as a solid barrier from the external temps. However, the art of layering tights under pants – cotton included – can help defeat that chilly leg situation if overalls aren’t your thing. Shop similar below:
