A reader wrote in to ask what one would wear on a date in cold weather.  They said they tend to like a mix of tough and sweet.  This is what I came up with.

On the left: I know this leather skirt isn’t super cheap, but it’s not too bad price-wise and could be worn SO many ways.  I like it paired with a soft oversized sweater that would show some cleavage, cute patterned tights and some platform ankle boots (these boots also come in nude and black and they’re only $44!!!).

The earrings shown can go with both outfits easily.

On the right: More of a casual date outfit - but skinny black jeggings paired with a loose stripey cardigan is such an easy and fun look.  The fringe necklace and red boots really make it trendy and cute. Could also be paired with scrunch black boots.

Of course living in a cold climate means you’re going to have to wear a giant jacket and scarf over all of it - but that is addressed in other posts.
