Winter weather is still a factor in selecting my daily outfit choice.

But for this week’s Sassy Fashionista, I took a l little fashion risk with these Free People jeans with a holy knee.

Not something I do often. But I found these in the back of my closet from a purchase made at Mall of America last summer, and they finally fit.

So I wanted to give them a day of fashion focus and also honor a bit of price per wear, which thus far, has been negative.

I admit it was a bit chilly out in the real world with an exposed knee.

Probably won’t repeat that decision until the temps improve significantly.

Maybe late March.

The jacket was also a shop-from-my-closet selection.

As was the thermal, gray shirt from http://www.jockey.com

And the Uggs. http://www.ugg.com

And the studded belt, also from http://www.freepeople.com.

And the leather pouch from the Leelanau Trading Co. https://leelanautradingcom.com

In fact, the only thing new in this post is the lovely custom agate ring I recently purchase from my fav jewelry artist, http://www.raptinmaille.com.

Check out their upcoming Valentine’s Day promo.

In short, this post is yet another reminder than you can add some style to winter dressing, while also shopping your closet.

You might find some cool stuff you forgot you even had.

Just like me.

How do you find fashion inspiration in the depths of winter?
