See It Through


A whole lot of monochromatic layers for a super cold day.


Sweater- Forever 21
Coat- Zara
Pants- Zara
Beanie- Zara

I like to have fun with my outfits and sometimes in the Winter, it's so easy to blend in with the crowd because this time of the year most people are wearing all black with a down jackets or one of those eskimo coats. Not that I find anything wrong with this but, personally for me I like to see how I can bend that trend and still be able to keep warm.

Here it looks like I'm wearing two layers up top but in reality I have a thousand layers underneath my sweater. The Heattech from Uniqlo has been doing wonders for me and I recommend it to anyone who's trying to feel as comfortable and warm as possible in the Winter. 
For a fun monochromatic look, I paired my plaid coat from Zara with this similar plaid sweater and a scarf for an extra added touch.

I like to wear pants during the Winter months, so I wore these thick ones from Zara that I have to try and stop myself from wearing everyday...can't get enough of it.

Nevermind


My usual all grey palette which is always a major go-to for me.


Sweater- Forever 21
Beanie- Zara

This post was from a few months back in the Fall, when it wasn't as cold as it is now....I was complaining about the weather then but I definitely wish I could go back to that time because its even colder now.
 Anyways, I just wanted to share this look with you when my friend and I was playing around with the camera and then decided that this would make a great blog post. I know I've posted a tremendous amount of all grey outfits in the past but its too good for me to pass up...especially when I want to find something quick and easy to wear.
I consider this look to be a pretty simple, laidback attire mainly because it's what I'd wear on a quick run around the city for errands or so. I'm wearing this warm chunky knit sweater paired with a tailored and almost "work" inspired pants. I threw on my oversized neoprene jacket and some comfy boots but I could definitely see myself styling this look with some cute heels and a leather biker jacket. 
Let me know what you think!

Pale Skies


Sweater- Forever 21
Vest- H&M
Shoes- Miista

Just giving a quick post on a look I wore on a snowy day. Strange enough, it was snowing but not very cold so I just wore a chunky sweater and over oversized faux leather vest with some tight skinny pants. Of course I was wearing a scarf but for the purpose of the shoot I decided not to show it because it would cover the delicate beauty of the sweater.

I'm actually surprized that I haven't worn  this vest sooner this season...but it came out at the right time because its so useful when you want to feel warm and comfy but not uncomfortable with a thousand layers. I like to go very minimal in the jewelry area during the winter months, only because I usually have to wear gloves and necklaces seem unnecessary if there's a huge scarf covering it.

Yesterday's Strength


Sweater- Zara
Pants- Zara
Shoes- Scully by Jeffrey Campbell 
Jacket- Forever 21
Jewelry- purchased in Jamaica

I use can't seem to get over my go-to colour palette, black and grey. I'm never usually the person to be caught dead wearing pants often...typically because I prefer wearing dresses and skirts. However, for this Winter, all I want to do is wear pants and call it a day because of how cold it is. I picked up these pair of riding pants from Zara about a day after cam back to New York and I can honestly say that it's one of my most practical and best buy of the new year thus far. It's such a great fit and goes well with pretty much anything I pair it with. For this look, I went with a more edgy look, by pairing simple pieces together to create an outfit great for wearing both day and night time. I added a statement necklace in the mix as an unexpected touch and to also give the overall look a little oomph against the light grey of the knit sweater. I always get the best jewelry back home in Jamaica, the necklace I'm wearing I got about a year or two ago when I was extremely obessessed with statement necklaces....I'm happy I finally decided to start wearing a lot of my necklaces again. Anyways, I'm off to a long day of work and classes...have a great day!

Last outfit I shot just before flying out to Jamaica


Ribbed Top- Zara
Maxi Skirt- Minty Jungle
Blue Faux Leather Jacket- Forever 21
Shoes- To Be Announced from Solestruck

During my final days in New York before heading back home for the Christmas vacation, it was surprisingly bearable outside in terms of the weather. So to run some last minute errands, I slipped on this cute maxi skirt with an embroidered sheer panel and paired it with a sleeveless ribbed top. Because I was still a bit cold outside, I wore my thick black opaque stockings and a faux leather jacket in a pop of color to add a bit of brightness to the look since I was basically wearing all black. My hair was super curly and freshly done which is a good change from me always wearing it straight and messy. I'll be sharing some summer looks that I've been wearing in Jamaica very soon.

Velvet Crush


Red Velvet Dress- Forever 21
Turtleneck Blouse- Zara
Faux Leather Jacket- Vintage

Sorry for the little inconsistency in posting since my arrival in Jamaica, but I've literally had zero time with my computer so things got a little complicated. This is a look I shoot a few weeks bad in New York..the day after it snowed. There is something about this red velvet dress that is very vibrant and striking that makes it such a cute dress for the fall/winter. I decided to layer my turtleneck top underneath the dress to add a more layered vibe and also adds a little contrast within this outfit. I love that this look has a very girly vibe to it yet the little touch of faux leather adds something very edgy. 
So far, my trip back home to Jamaica has been really great, I've already been having so much fun and it's only the first week...I don't miss New York one bit hahaha. You can follow me on instagram @marfarlane to get live updates of what I'm doing while spending time in Jamaica.
