The weather is dark enough, skip the dark colors and wear "winter pastels"... I plan on wearing white jeans for the entire year! But I have to stay warm and the answer is a pastel, shearling jacket...! The one above is from Florence Bridge, I found it on Polyvore, @wolfandbadger.com.
Bring the "winter pastels" down a notch and add a chic, shopper, like this from YSL. The "Sac de Jour" in dark brown suede adds richness and contrast to your outfit.
