4 cozy looks with winter boots

in Style on 01/26/20

I’m back in Chicago after spending 3 glorious weeks in sunny Florida. It wasn’t a vacation, but it sure felt like one. My job allows me to work from any place as long as I have an internet connection and G’s job is flexible with working from home as well. We would wake up every morning and go for a walk or bike ride, work for 8-9 hours and then after 5 pm we would go to the gym and sometimes even tennis… Let’s not even talk about the weekends… Beach, snorkeling, hiking, you name it. I am exhausted, but that’s exactly what I wanted LOL. I can sleep here. I’m not missing anything going on outside.

It’s very cold and I am a little shocked right now, so it seemed appropriate to share some cozy Winter looks with these warms boots I got in December at DSW.

I love these boots. I think it’s super hard to find good Winter boots that are functional and cute, but it wasn’t hard to find these ones at DSW this last December. It was actually VERY hard to choose just one pair. That’s something I’m trying to be better at. If I only need one thing, I’ll only go to the store and get that one thing I need. That’s the best way to practice sustainability in my opinion.

Anyways, here are the 4 cozy Winter looks I created around these boots. I’m not someone who dresses up at all, and most certainly I don’t dress up during Winter unless it’s a special occasion. These looks are pretty much different versions of all my Winter uniforms. I’m also sharing some winning formulas so you can recreate any of these looks with things you already have in your closet 🙂

The trick is to follow the formula, item by item. Take out all your options and put them in your bed or floor or in hangers so you can evaluate each piece separately and visualize what goes well together. Then, try things on or start putting looks together (flatlays) and take a photo for your records. This is what I try to do, but I put my photos on the internet instead LOL. You can do that too if you want 😉 but you get the idea right? I know it sounds silly, but it really makes it easier if you take all the pieces out following a formula.

Here’s an example:

Look 1:

The formula:

Winter Boots + Leggings + Long Sleeve top + Long Cardi + Cozy Scarf

So, to follow the formula here for example, take out all your Winter Boots (or just the one pair), all your leggings, all your plain long sleeve tops, all your long cardis and all your scarves. Put them all next to each other and start mixing them together. Try them on and take photos for your records. I know this seems like a lot, but you only need to do this once.

I promise that this will make getting dressed so much easier! This really helps to maximize what you have in your closet. You’ll see you’ll start wearing things you don’t frequently wear.

Look 2:

The formula:

Winter Boots + Skinny Jeans + Hoodie + Long Vest

Link to the exact boots here. They are $69 and run TTS. If you are in between sizes, size up.

Look 3:

The formula:

Winter Boots + Skinny Jeans + Striped Sweater + Puffer Vest + Plaid Scarf

Tip: When you are mixing prints like this, make sure both prints have one or two colors in common. Also, don’t mix 2 busy prints together.

Look 4:

The formula:

Winter Boots + Fleece tights + Turtle neck Sweater + Cozy Moto Jacket

Any thoughts? Any questions? Please leave them in the comments below or message me on Instagram! I’m here to help you make the best out of what you already own… seriously! Don’t be shy!!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you feel inspired to recreate some of these looks and good luck following the formulas. Let me know if you like the outfit posts this way and if these formulas make things easier on you or if they make sense at all.

Hope you all have a great week ahead!

XO,

Aimara

OH, HI THERE!

Hi guys! My name is Aimara and I’m the voice behind Ways of Style.

I created this Blog as a space to express my thoughts and life experiences while wearing cute outfits of course! At the same time I want to encourage you to always be yourself, without caring what the world thinks about it.

I believe that we all have a specific purpose in life, but you can only find it by being 100% you and following your heart & intuition. In May 2014 I came to this country with a dream and with all my belongings in a suitcase, with nothing but determination to make it happen.

After I posted my stories last week sharing how I After I posted my stories last week sharing how I excited I was for my first paid partnership since November, I received a lot of questions that I replied individually, but also made me realize that maybe a lot of you have no idea what goes on behind the scenes of running a blog. So here are some things I personally experience:

1. A lot of NO’s (like a lot!)
2. A lof of the wrong partnerships. I’d say every 20 email proposals I get, only 1 makes the cut.
3. Crazy, all over the place schedule. Working weekends, after hours, etc. That’s why I take short breaks during the day. (FYI: this never feels like work to me!)

What do I do if I’m not working with brands then? I’m reaching out, creating links (which is another source of income), studying, learning new things, planning, researching... a million things I never get to manage when I’m busy with campaigns.

When deciding if I’ll work with a brand, I ask myself: 1. Am I PUMPED for this brand/product? 2. Do they let me have creative freedom? (Nothing worse than a brand that wants you to post a script)
3. Are they paying my rates?

This is why it’s SO FREAKING HARD to get the right partnerships. A lof of the times I try the products and don’t like them, so then that’s it. Other times, I like the product but then the brand is like... so this is the photo we want, and here’s the caption... and I’m like 💆🏻‍♀️👋🏻 no thank you! And other times (and this is where I’m more flexible with, if the first 2 things are right) they just don’t have the budget or don’t want to pay you enough... which sucks!

Do you see why it’s so hard? 😭 That’s why you have to find something you love doing so much, you would do it for free! At first I had other jobs to support this business, now it’s stable enough that I can prepare for not doing paid stuff for a long time! It wasn’t easy, but I’m so grateful I eventually got to that point you know?

I’m so glad brands like @bioskinbracing got on board to create beautiful, breathable and safe masks for all of us, so we are able to go outside and have some sense of normalcy during these crazy times! 💞

Extra info on these cute masks:
•	You can stretch the ear loops, which makes them super comfy!
•	They are very comfortable for hot weather.
•	So far, they have donated over $125,000 to hunger relief programs.
•	They come in packs of 3 and are affordable!
•	All masks are made in the US.

Any questions? DM me or ask in the comments! I’m here to help :)

I’ve never had an office to compare this one wit I’ve never had an office to compare this one with, but I think it’s pretty nice and hard to beat! 💞

The weather has been perfect, I hear the birds chirping all day, I’m surrounded by beautiful tropical plants... what else can a girl ask for? I mean it would be EXTRA nice if it was next to a canal and I could see a baby dolphin play with a baby manatee all day, but I’m not complaining 😂

Happy Monday! 💞 Hope this week it’s better than the last 😘

PS: sweats + white t-shirt are from @americangiant. Both are size S and fit 👌🏻. Sharing links in my bio and stories. Remember you can get 15% off using code ‘waysofstyle15’ ❤️

Hear me out... IF you had to choose, which one do Hear me out... IF you had to choose, which one do you prefer? Black t-shirts or white t-shirts? 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you’ve been hanging out long enough around here, you know for sure I’m a white t-shirt kind of girl, but since living out of a suitcase, I’ve given other colors a chance! Now I travel with black, white, green and grey ☺️

Simple t-shirts are the best because you can style them in many different ways! I got these 2 from @americangiant and I’m obsessed!! (I also got sweatpants that I’ll share later). I’m linking them via my stories and in my bio. They were kind enough to offer a welcome code for you guys!! 15% off using code ‘waysofstyle15’ ❤️

Jeans are oldies from @citizensofhumanity and I love them so so much too!! 

You’ll see more of these for sure!! Also, all of these pieces are US made 🙌🏻

Good morninggggg! ☀️ Anyone has the day off to Good morninggggg! ☀️
Anyone has the day off today? How was your V-day?

We spent the whole day at the beach and then went to dinner to one of our favorite local places for Caribbean food 😍 The place is called Bamboo Fire if you are ever in the Delray area. It’s super small, low key, not fancy at all, with outdoor sitting and the food is so so good!! 👏🏻

This week we are getting ready to drive to Tampa and I’m sooooo excited! We have decided to stay down here (Florida) until May or so and will go to Chicago after when it’s warm and hopefully we are already vaccinated 🙏🏻 Things can change, but that’s the plan for now ☺️

Hope everyone has a great week ahead ❤️ Mine started sort of meeehhhhh (more Venezuelan passport related headaches), but hopefully I’ll be able to figure something out 🙏🏻 Wish me luck! 💫
Don’t ever take getting a new passport for granted my American friends! You have no idea what I’ve been through to renew mine 🙈 (and it’s the norm)

PS: linking this look in my bio + stories. Everything but the shoes is 40% off!
