The new year passed with a blink of an eye, somehow we’re already into February.

Winter has finally caught up with us in Southwest Virginia, meaning cold weather gear is now a part of street-goers daily routine.

Snow, wind and freezing temps are making boots, large coats and scarves the biggest fashion statement right now, proving people’s sense of style hasn’t gone into hibernation.

This month I’m on the hunt for bundled up beauties and gents braving the chills and looking good doing it.

Check back later today for the first photo post of the month.
