The App That Is Changing The Way I Get Dressed

by How She Styles September 23, 2016

Have you ever gotten up and thought what the hell am I going to wear today?

The Problem

On the east coast the transitional period from summer to fall is especially tough. Is it muggy? Is it going to be as hot as it was yesterday? There are a lot of variables when it comes to the weather and how it feels outside. I have found an app that I can look at and figure out exactly what to wear.

The App

Yesterdays weather is the answer to my fashion prayers. When getting ready I can look at this app and it compares today’s weather with what the actual temperature was at that time yesterday. It has the display in words as well as comparing the actual numbers so if one is easier for you to understand you can just look at it that way.

Why I Love It

Say I wore a tank top and jeans out yesterday, and was comfortable, so getting ready this morning I see it will be a lot windier with the same humidity. Seeing all this information I can make sure to bring a jacket so I am not cold on my walk to work.

I like this app because not only does it talk temperature but also wind speed and humidity so understand all the variables that could change the weather and what it feels like outside.

It has a really simple and easy to use interface. Sometimes the app will crash (it will look like the picture below), but to get it back on track you just have to hit try again and your all set!

I don’t really have any complaints about this app. It is really easy to use and I recommend it to everyone I see. Did I mention its free!?

Favorite Winter Accessories

by How She Styles February 24, 2016

The only thing that is actually fun about winter in my opinion is all the fun winter accessories I get to stock up on!

Fringe Infinity Scarf -Nordstrom

This is one of my all-time favorite scarves because it’s nothing like any of the other scarves that I own. It’s two-toned with an open knit and fringe! You can’t go wrong. I will say it’s not very warm, but the stylishness makes up for that so I wear it in the like early spring or late fall. It was a bit pricey for a scarf, but very worth it.

Navy and Burgundy Infinity Scarf – C&M?

This scarf is the warmest I own, and I love the colors. I am pretty sure it is a men’s scarf because that’s the section I found it in, but who really knows. It’s a tight-knit infinity scarf that doesn’t allow any cold air to get to my face. The color is what really drew me in though, since it’s one of my favorite combos, navy and burgundy. I would probably like it better if it wasn’t an infinity, but that just so I could wrap it around my entire head.

Wool Wide Brimmed Hat – H&M/DIY

These kinds of hats were really “on trend” a few months ago and I jumped on the bandwagon. I really like this trend though, and I think it’s a way to look cute in the bitter cold without freezing. This hat is actually a plain wool hat with a belt wrapped wrapped around it. I hated all the hats that every store had so I decided to try and make my own. I think it came out pretty good, but I only wear it on days that it’s not very windy so I don’t lose it. I love this look and I hope it continues next season.

Beanie – Calvin Klein

You can’t go wrong with a beanie. They are comfy, warm, and just all around awesome! I love just being able to throw on a beanie and head out the door! I have so many beanies that my mom often tells me to put them down when I’m in a store. I probably have ten beanies scattered throughout my room…you know…in case of a beanie emergency.

Leather Gloves – Calvin Klein

I don’t know what I was doing before I bought leather gloves. Yes, they are on the pricey side, but they are a staple and worth every penny. They are warm, classic, and go with any jacket or coat you could throw on.

What to Wear When its Finally Over 50 Degrees

by How She Styles March 31, 2015

I know I took a small break from blogging due to my life being a bit crazy, but I’m glad to be back!

Winter seemed to take a break before it became freezing again, but its finally in the mid-fifties and its time to celebrate with some transition pieces to wear when its not too warm and not too cold.

But First…

Layers are your friend. Wearing layers will give you the ability to adjust what you are wearing based on the temperature. For instance: today it was around 35 degrees this morning and about 50 degrees this afternoon. Thats a 20 degree difference. So in the morning I wore a long sleeved shirt, a blazer, and a coat over that. In the afternoon I didn’t need that extra layer, so I just went out in the shirt and coat. Layers are super handy with weird in-between weather like this or if you are out all day and the temperature changes significantly throughout the day.

Here are some pieces to wear when it’s fifty outside and not snowing!

Maxi Skirts

A maxi skirt is handy because it completely covers your legs until it gets too hot, in which case you can just tie it a bit and let your legs breathe.

Light Sweater

I would consider a light sweater to be one that is heavier than your long-sleeved shirt, but lighter than the sweater you wore when it was 10 degrees outside. I would advise against anything wool really. It should be breathable during the day and toasty warm in the morning or evening.

Flats

This is flats season baby! It’s not quite warm enough (or dry enough) for sandals, and your feet may need a break from your thigh high boots, so flats are the perfect option.

Long Sleeved Dress

This is another classic in-between style. It’s perfect if your legs are hot, but your arms are cold. You can also wear this with a sweater or tights if it’s too cold, or roll up the sleeves if it’s too hot. Who doesn’t want to throw on a dress right now after months of being forced to wear pants? I sure do!

Blazer

This goes with the idea of layering: the colder it gets, the heavier the blazer. If it gets too hot, take it off! I wear blazers with everything. Skirts, dresses, jeans—you name it. It’s just an easy piece to throw on and pretend like you tried. If your not a fan of the blazer try and army jacket!
