Three Must-Have Easy Accessories for Winter

Winter is easily my favorite season clothing-wise. Maybe it’s my affinity for cardigans, sweaters, and all things cozy, but I just love how easy it is to be stylish in the winter. However, big winter staples like coats and boots can put a dent in your bank account, so here are some simple and cheap ways to spice up your winter wardrobe.

1) Fun Socks

If crew socks have one fan, I am that fan. I think that a cute little sock, particularly with ruffles on the hem, can really elevate your favorite sneakers. Since I am tall, I often struggle to find jeans that go all the way to the ground. Socks like these are a great way to stay warm and are also perfect to wear with pants that may be a few inches too short. This six-pack from Target features beautiful winter-toned colors that are sure to add a pop to every outfit. 

2) Ribbon and Bows

I am so here for the ‘Bow Renaissance’ of 2023. You have probably seen people on the internet tying ribbon to their Uggs or their headphones, but I will forever be a proponent of tying ribbon into your hair. It looks cute in many hair styles, like half-up half-down, two braids, one braid, or a ponytail. There is no style that cannot be aided by a little bow or two. This pack of ribbon from Amazon features 36 color options for all your hairstyling needs. However, if you don’t want to purchase a ribbon, you can always save one from your holiday gifts.

3) A Lip Oil

Some would argue makeup is not an accessory, so maybe this is cheating, but makeup is most certainly part of creating an overall cute look. I must admit, I have never been the biggest fan of lip products until I purchased these Tarte lip oils. They may not be the cheapest, but when bought in this pack of two, each tube only comes out to around $14, and I can attest that this product will last you a while. Only a small amount is needed each time, and the compact packaging of these lip oils makes them perfect to throw in your backpack or purse. Winter is not kind to the lips, and this product moisturizes them while adding a beautiful tint and shine that will perfectly compliment your coziest of winter fits. 

So there you have it! Grab your socks, ribbon, and lip oil, and go create a winter outfit that would rival any protagonist in a Hallmark original movie.
