A Pittsburgh Girls Guide to Winter Fashion

December 19, 2024 · In: Fall & Winter, Fashion

Having lived in Pittsburgh most of my life, I know what it’s like to brave the winter. While I do love living somewhere with all four seasons, winter is the hardest season for me fashion wise. Today I wanted to share some key pieces in my wardrobe that I reach to during these cold months.

Whether you live up north – or maybe you’re taking a winter vacation somewhere cold – hopefully these pieces can help you nail down your winter fashion. And help keep you warm!

High Quality Socks

Warmth starts at the base – and you need a pair of great socks! Whether you always have chilly toes like myself, or you’re going to be spending extended time outdoors – nice socks are a must. I love a good pair of alpaca socks, but cashmere socks are a great option as well. While they’re certainly pricier than your average pair of socks, they’re a great investment that will last you for years!

Winter Boots

It can be hard to find cute yet functional winter boots. The real key with this is finding a pair that you can still comfortably wiggle your toes in. If you can’t move your toes – your feet will get numbingly cold! These ones from J.Crew are great if you want something a bit more tactile chic look. A pair of waterproof chelsea boots would be great as well for something a bit more clean looking.

Layering Pieces

Of course when it’s cold outside layering is essential. Depending on if you’ll be outside for extended periods you may need to layer more or less. I recently grabbed this base layer set from Amazon, and I am super satisfied! If you don’t need to go that extreme, I recommend grabbing a few neutral colors in a fitted turtleneck that you can layer with sweaters or even do a Princess Diana sweatshirt look!

Quality Fabrics

Another huge component of winter fashion is the fabrics you select. This can be make or break in the longevity of your pieces as well as if they’ll do the job of keeping you warm. You want to be looking for wool, cashmere, or even a nice fleece. Dudley-Stephens is by far my favorite fleece brand, and they’re eco-friendly! You can look for these fabrics in everything from your coats to your sweaters. It’s certainly worth it to invest in these high-quality fabrics to build a capsule wardrobe of sorts that will last you years to come.

Chic Winter Accessories

If you want to pull your look together you’ll definitely want some chic accessories. I personally love a cute pair of ear muffs – that way you don’t need to commit to hat hair. A thick scarf is both fashionable and functional as well. Some leather gloves with a fun twist are perfect for winter too!

I hope you enjoyed this winter fashion inspiration. This format is a bit different for me, but I love trying out new posts to see what resonates with you all! So be sure to subscribe to my email list down below to be notified the next time I post.

The Summer I Went Through Fertility Treatment🤍 The Summer I Went Through Fertility Treatment🤍

No, I’m not pregnant. Yet🤞🏼
I’m finally ready to share what my world and entailed the past year or so. 

We got married in 2021 and like many couples decided to wait a few years before trying to have a baby. 2 years passed and we decided we were ready. Little did we know that would start a journey filled with heartbreak and frustration. 

A year came and went - no positive tests. So the obsession started; tracking ovulation, supplements, bloodwork. You name it - I’ve probably tried it! I went to my gynecologist and got put on a dreaded waiting list for an HSG. 5 months later no call back. So I decided to call a fertility clinic in January 2025, they saw me two days later. 

With a fabulous team of doctors, NPs, PAs, and nurses I got to where I am now. I have no diagnosis, and neither does my husband - bloodwork good, egg quality amazing, no cysts, fallopian tubes functioning, etc. On paper I’m good and still a mystery!

We opted for 3 rounds of IUI’s, all unsuccessful and traumatizing. So onto IVF. 

I’ve spent my last few weeks getting injection after injection, so much bloodwork, so many ultrasounds. And today we went do Maryland for an egg retrieval. 

This was not the summer I was imagining, but I’m so beyond thankful I was able to have this journey (and also get most of it paid by insurance😉). So now we wait on our 17 mature eggs🙏🏼 

I will likely keep my embryo transfer journey private until I have a confirmed pregnancy. But getting all of this off my chest I feel comfortable to post and share again🫶🏼

If you are going through an infertility journey - whether it’s been short or long. I pray for you. I grieve for you. I am you! My heart breaks for you.

Unhelpful and hurtful comments will be deleted. 🚫“just relax!” “get drunk” “it’ll happen when you least expect it!”🚫 

A special thank you to my handful of friends who have been my angels on earth this year. You know who you are✨
