Here are seven items you need in your winter wardrobe to help beat the chill this winter. Each piece is moderately priced under $100:
1) Faux Fur Vest: Members Only Faux Fur Vest, $98. A faux fur vest is the it piece this season. It instantly adds warmth and style to your outfit. Wear over a long-sleeved tee and jeans.
2) Scarf: Fringe Infinity Scarf, $24. You really cannot go wrong with any scarf. Top off your outfit with this final layer and arrange according to your mood.
3) Long Sleeved Tee-Shirt: James Perse Long Sleeve Nylon Cotton Rib Jewel Neck T-shirt, $75. Stock up on these great layering basics. You'll find a fitted tee works well under sweaters, vests and jackets, as well as under a looser tee.
