MY STYLE FIX: A CHECKED WOOL COAT

Oftentimes, outerwear is viewed as the part of an outfit that's strictly functional and practical when it comes to wintertime pairings.

That rationale is understandable as selecting a coat based primarily on its fashionable qualities may seem irrelevant when contending with snow showers, subpar temperatures, and less than optimal conditions.

However, choosing a piece that pulls double duty can not only keep you warm and enhance your overall look, but the old adage of when you look good, you feel good, also rings true even in the Polar Vortex.

MY STYLE FIX: PLAID JACKET WITH FUR

I know a lot of people are hung up on the whole wearing white after Labor Day, but clearly only a person with questionable mental capacities, a virtual monster if we're really being honest, would infringe on our God given right to wear what we want when we fucking feel like it.

Seems really ridiculous, since fashion and style is so personal, and this commie bastard obviously wants us all to fall in line with some unknown, yet no doubt in my mind, nefarious agenda to abolish white from our closet after Labor Day. 

I just never understood the rationale behind this ban, this narrow way of thinking, because it just doesn't seem to serve any purpose other than the obvious pissing good people off.  

I mean ban skinnny jeans if you need to put an end to something horrific. At least that will save lives, because those things are akin to Boa constrictors, and our thighs like unsuspecting rodents having the life sucked out of them.

Many a times I felt faint in my skinnies as I'm certain the jean was slowly strangulating me and restricting precious oxygen from my already impaired brain. True story. 

So, ban skinnies. That will without a doubt serve a purpose, and the inventor of such a ban will be hailed as a hero for many generations to come.

But, white is harmless, and we all should be able to wear it if we so chose, without the impending side eyes or blank stares. It should be ok if that's what you chose.
