The coldest days of winter is still to come. Dressing for the cold weather can be fun because of the layers and versatility of outerwear. Here are 6 Winter Fashion Tips, Tricks, and Ideas. 

1. Dress for your waist

Drawing emphasis and defining your waist is key for dressing for your body. It will define the dress, shirts, and bottoms that look best on you. Read The 8 Most Flattering Clothes for Your Waistline for tips and tricks.

2. Wear appropriate winter clothing

Layer appropriately because you can always take clothing off. There’s nothing cute about shivering in the winter. If you wear waist appropriate clothing, you will still have a shape.  

3. Wear appropriate shoes

Pay attention to the weather and also the function. Wear the appropriate boots, pumps or sneakers accordingly. Nothing cute about slipping in rain or snow in inappropriate shoes. 

4. Wear fur (faux)

Winter is the only time that fur makes sense. Take advantage of it and enhance your look with fur. It is cute and warm.

5. Enhance your outfit with scarfs 

Another accessory that enhances your winter outfit.  Take advantage of being able to wear wool scarfs. Experiment with patterns to give your winter outfit another dimension. 

6. Wear a belt around your winter coat. 

This will give it a different look plus, enhance your shape. Change your belt to easily change the look. You can do this with puffy coats too.

Add ground turkey/Canadian Bacon and cheese to your egg. Add cheese to the egg mixture before cooking if you like cheesy eggs

As someone that is allergic to gluten, I am always searching for something that will replace bread. A Frittata is the Italian version of the American Omelette. It can be a nice substitute for a bunless egg sandwich. 

Here is my recipe for the breadless breakfast sandwich that is gluten free and can also be made for vegetarians.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Eggs Per Side (If you are making a whole sandwich you will use 4 eggs. If you are using a tiny saucepan use 1 egg per side)
  • 1/3 cup Veggies (Ideas: Mushrooms/ Peppers/ Onions)
  • Handful Spinach (Please note that Spinach shrinks a lot when cooking)
  • 1/4 tbsp Olive Oil Or use a non-stick pan
  • Salt and Pepper To taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat the Olive Oil in a small saucepan on Med (the olive oil will aid with non-sticking) (the size of the saucepan will be the size of the breakfast frittata sandwich.
  • Once the oil is hot put in vegetables and saulte´ to liking (usually about 1.5 minutes when the vegetables get translucent).
  • Turn the setting of the pan to low and wait another minute.
  • Crack 2 eggs in a bowl and whip together (salt and pepper to taste).
  • Make sure Vegetables are in the middle and away from the edges of the pan for the shape of the egg frittata.
  • Pour the eggs into the pan.
  • Cover with a lid so the steam cooks the eggs.
  • Check your egg after a minute to see if the top is cooked.
  • If you like a crunchier egg flip the egg. Before flipping, make sure the bottom of the egg is set, this way it will not break. Use a spatula (that is meant for the heat) to aid in flipping the egg.
  • Repeat recipe for the other side.

Notes

Saute´the vegetables for both side at once to save time.
Add ground turkey/Canadian Bacon and cheese to your egg. Add cheese to the egg mixture before cooking if you like cheesy eggs.
