We caught Krista W. before she bundled up like the Michelin Woman to brave the -15 degree weather in Omaha, Nebraska. This 34-year-old photographer learned the art of layering away the chill on the cold streets of New York. But it's tough looking hot when it's so cold. "Nobody, not even the usually stylish people, looks cute right now," Krista says. She's wearing:
+ skirt - vintage Italian design, bought at Salvation Army, "I get compliments on this skirt almost more than anything I own."
+ top #1 - dappled cocoa-colored wool rollneck sleeveless turtleneck, handconstructed, bought at Goodwill Industries.
+ top #2 - short-sleeved cropped fuzzy sweater-jacket, by Stella bought online on eBay. "I'm thinking of using it as a security blanket for my burgeoning second childhood," Krista says.
+ top #3 - burgundy cocoon shrug sweater-cardigan, by Say What? bought online from Alloy.com, "I have 3 of these, also in beige and black, they go with everything!"
+ shoes - caramel-hued Earth leather flats.
+ bracelet - bent fork bought from street vendor in front of the Guggenheim museum in New York.
+ Anything else? "I also have three unseen layers of leg-sheltering tights, socks and long underwear on beneath that skirt."
Fashion Finds: "Once I found a Dolce & Gabbana pencil skirt in perfect condition at a Goodwill in Oregon for $7!!!"
Best Local Shopping: "The thrift stores here are less likely to jack up prices exorbitantly like they do in L.A. and NYC."
Style Secrets: "If you don't absolutely love it, don't buy it. You'll only leave it sitting in your closet and/or you'll get rid of it later."
