Winter Clothing sucks

I've had a lot of fashionista friends tell me how fun "layering" must be for me during winter..

I LOVE winter season (probably because I got sick & tired of the hot and humid weather in Manila), but I honestly HATE dressing up for it. I love clothes, I love getting all dolled up but when it's REALLY cold outside- I don't have the patience or the energy to come up with a glamorous outfit. 
Coats are the only thing you'll see me wearing.
I might as well wear pambahay underneath it. :/
If my coat is sent for dry cleaning, I'll be wearing a fugly but WARM sweater or jacket.
Aside from the fact that you don't get to show off your accessories, what I hate most about winter clothing is that they cost A LOT of money. One (good quality- as in the ones that lasts a lifetime and really keeps you warm) coat will cost you about KWD 35 (around Php 5,400++) and that's the cheapest one!
I just don't see myself buying/ collecting a variety of bulky clothing (I HATE sweaters! They take up so much space in your closet!) that I'll only be wearing for a few months. Maybe it would be a different story if I had a lot of money... But I don't. LOL!

Well anyway, March is upon us and it'll be a lot warmer in a few weeks (hopefully) so I'll be able to dress up more.. Until then, forgive me for the lack of OTD posts..

PS-- Thank you for all the get-well-soon messages.. I'm feeling much better now! Still congested but feeling much much better. :)

You don't always have to wear thick clothes, you can try layering thin or not so thick ones. :) Check this video out. She has really good videos about fashion http://youtu.be/usCa6Vyj2FI
