Waking up to temperatures of minus five degrees, making a
sprint from your bed to the shower before you freeze to death, and trying to
quickly scrape off the ice from the windscreen of your car before your fingers
drop off… this is winter in Canberra. Whilst our neighbours in Sydney and
Queensland complain about what I like to call an ‘Australian winter’, us toughies
in Canberra have to face the real deal. But the silver lining about all of this…
the fashion of course!
I was originally born on the Gold Coast and grew up mainly
wearing summer fashion. When I first moved to Canberra I found it challenging
to dress for the chilly weather, but soon realised all the new and exciting
ways you can accessorise winter outfits to really make a statement. I
collaborated with the Canberra Outlet Centre and curated some of my favourites
looks for you to try this winter.
LOOK 1
I am obsessed right now! Red is my favourite winter colour and this season, it's really in. Just when you thought grey on grey was boring, these trendy heels add some colour and make the outfit pop. When matching red statement pieces, always opt for a white or grey outfit to let the colour shine!
LOOK 2
Let’s talk about knee-thigh boots. There is no doubt that these are the shoes of the season. Popping on a pair of these is one of the easiest ways to dress-up an outfit and give it a bit of extra edge. I am also loving this black cardigan from Forcast that will go with almost anything - a must-have for your wardrobe!
LOOK 3
PANT-SUITS. They are the perfect ensemble for a strong,
confident, independent woman who wants to be noticed. In 2018, when females are
increasingly gaining more powerful roles in society, an outfit like this says,
‘we mean business and we aren’t here to mess around!’ I am all about female
empowerment and love that the pant-suit gives me a chance to showcase this part
of my personality. Of course, I matched it with a red-heel again because… what
screams confidence more than that?!
I can’t wait to see what outfits you put together this
winter! Hit me up on Instagram any time for ideas: @bethanygracelarsen
