How to stay Fashionable in Five-Degree Weather (a "What to Wear" post)

Hey Guys!
As I type this post, my fingers are still thawing out from being outside because it was SO COLD today.  No kidding.  So please, pardon any grammatical errors I make here (I blame it all on the weather).  It's actually freezing (say...oh, less than five degrees today!) here in MI, and with the cold there's also snow and ice to be had.  I like to have fun with my style even when it gets this chilly, so below I put together a "Style Diary" of pieces I've worn so far this winter (sweater dress, fur collar, wool tights), and others that I plan on finding before the snow stops (capes, plum-hued purse, and eskimo-esque booties).  They're all great items in themselves that add a level of sophistication to any snowy ensemble!

Below yet again, is another list I've compiled of colors, fabrics, and other various cold weather accouterments that I think every fashion enthusiast should have in there closet right this very minute.  And hey, if they're not presently hanging on a hanger, the weekend's a great excuse to go shopping!

Cold weather wants Colors like:  deeper shades of plums, reds, browns, mixes of black and white

Cold weather wants Garments in:  Wool, Cashmere, Shearling, Fur, and occasionally leather (when there  isn't too much snow on the ground!)

Fun Trends to try:  full length coats, shiny metallics, color-blocked pieces, and Peplum skirts/dresses/shirts.  (Capes are the trend I'm most excited to try)
Looking Forward to Spring (To early?): Bold Flower Prints, Paisley, and Pale blush tones.
