    Florida Winter Outfits and Accessories for December

    32:09Florida Winter Outfits and Accessories for December
    • Oh, I did it sometimes. Oh, it was, like, too warm for it? Yeah, it was too warm, and I felt like I would mess up my hair, so I don't wear it out much, but if it got colder and I was taking out kuma, then I would wear my beanie. So, I wore this outfit several times. I think, like, two or three times because I packed a lot this time where I couldn't just mix and match, or some nights I knew I was just gonna wear it for, like, a few hours. I can probably wear it again the next night. Um, I don't, I don't mind wearing the same clothes, um, two days in a row. Um, so anyway, so I bought this sweater from Mint Velvet, and I actually bought this in London when we went there last month in November, and this is a wool blend, uh, sweater, and I love that it has, uh, like, a turtleneck. Not a full turtleneck, but just, like, a little bit, so it does add extra warmth. There is no, uh, sleeve. It's kind of, like, this long. It kind of does cover maybe, like, up to the elbow a little bit, um, so what I do is, like, to give me extra warmth, and also because it's a little bit itchy if you just wear it alone, I do wear a, uh, heat tech underneath, and I wear this skin color one because of the sleeves are, like, a little bit, like, oversized. You can kind of see inside, and I didn't like that the black, um, heat tech shirt was showing, so since this was more, you know, my skin tone, I wore this underneath, so, like, when it did peek through, it didn't, like, really bother me. Like, it wasn't, like, an eyesore. The only thing is, yeah, it's a little bit itchy, so sometimes my neck right here would get a little bit itchy because the, the Uniqlo top is, you know, it doesn't have, like, a high, it doesn't cover your neck, so I would suggest, like, if you can find, if you are, if you're someone that gets a little bit itchy from this type of fabric, if you can find a shirt that also goes up to the neck a little bit, if I can find one, I'll definitely do that. If I see one, I'll probably buy it. Like, if I can find a t-shirt with, like, a higher neck coverage, I definitely would wear it with this because I wear this all the time now, so, and I think this is something I'm gonna have in my closet for a while just because it's a neutral color. It's a very, you know, simple style, but elegant and warm as well because the material is nice. And then for the pants, these look a little bit dirty right now on the bottom, but I've had these for years now. These are my favorite pants for the winter, and these are from Express, but because I've got this so long ago, they don't have this exact style, but they have similar styles, and I like that this is a little bit high-waisted so I can tuck in the sweater a little bit. So, yeah, this is my go-to pants. It's very long, and it, like, is wide leg at the bottom, and the only thing is, like, people have asked me, like, well, it gets so dirty on the bottom, like, doesn't it bother you? I'm like, not really because when you're wearing it, you don't see it.
