Winter Wardrobe Revive: Shoes, Bags, Coats, and More to Update Your Style

Hey!
So winter has begun in earnest, and for some of us, it's way past time to pull out those old down jackets and wool coats. If you're tired of your drab black and gray uniform, The Fashion Bomb is here to give you 5 ideas to revive your wardrobe:
1. Interesting Tights
Whether in colorful hues or argyle patterns, tights give any outfit edge along with a bit of warmth. Bonus: they won't break the bank! Try these beauts:
1. Hue Houndstooth Sweater Tights, $28. 2. Falke Baroque Tights, $45. 3. Pin Stripe Floral Tights, $14. 4. Hue Argyle Tights, $18. 5. Armani Exchange Opaque Tights, $19.50. 6. Nordstrom Double Diamond Tights, $12.
2. A Colorful Coat
If you really want to stand out, a coat in an eye catching color can do the trick. Throw one on in a cool color, but save on these--next year you might get bored!
1. J.Crew Classic Peacoat, $225. 2. Marc by Marc Jacobs Check Print Coat, $340. 3. Steve Madden Stand Collar Coat, $98 (Plus, $119). 4. Express Mod Wool Coat, $168. 5. Calvin Klein Split Lapel Wrap Coat, $258. 6. Soia & Kyo Diagonal Stitch Jacket, $185. 7. ADD Down Jacket, $365. 8. Gap Plaid Belted Coat, $97. 9. Guess by Marciano Barrel Shaped Coat, $148.
3. A Wild Card Dress
A funky dress will definitely set you apart from the fashion feeble. Wear one under your regular gray or black wool jacket with a pair of tights for a refreshed look:
1. Pringle 1815 Blue Knitted Dress, $231. 2. Julie Haus Yona Graphic Houndstooth Dress, $235. 3. French Connection Star Dress, $158. 4. Tibi Arboretum Mini Dress, $234. 5. Diane Von Furstenberg Jovanna Knit Dress, $219. 6. Marc by Marc Jacobs Geo Gems Dress, $169.
2. Anything But Black Boots
Black is bla! Go for gray or an alluring deep red color to add panache:
1. Armani Exchange Suede Bootie ,$125. 2. Enzo Angiolini Charly Boot, $225. 3. Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Seema Ombre Bootie, $407. 4. Dolce Vita Wendy Stove Pipe Boot, $300. 5. Arturo Chiang Tamara Bootie, $120. 6. Frye Women's Tall Ava Boot, $400.
5. A Jewel Colored Bag:
A colorful bag can transcend seasons--carry yours come spring!
1. Elliott Lucca Large Leather Drawstring Tote, $298. 2. Jessica Simpson Socialista Tote, $108. 3. J.Crew Uptown Tote, $215. 4. Pink Studio Rain Tote, $75. 5. Marc by Marc Jacobs Tote-Ally Jacquard Tote, $228. 6. L.A.M.B. Women's Edinburgh Clydebank Plaid Wool/Leather Tote, $475.
