So the warm-weathered welcome home I was treated to only lasted one day. It is back to the cold and back to my wardrobe, thinking about what to wear to battle the cold with style.

I admit that I love black in anything and everything, but sometimes all those dark colors mixed with the grey, cold days can be underwhelming to say the least. So I’m trying to integrate a bit more color into my wardrobe, but with softer shades to still complement the seasons. I love a ladylike coat and layering a pale sweater over an equally pale blouse is sweet and delicate, but doesn’t edge toward saccharine thanks to a pop of leopard.

What are your favorite wardrobe ways to battle the dreary days?
