I love to layer, and so does syako! This layering lady kept herself stylish in a high-waist pencil skirt and a scoop neck top over a white shirt. Hot stuff!

Here's what she has on:

• Sweater: H&M
• Shirt: Express
• Skirt: Iisli
• Tights: Target
• Shoes: Old Navy

Congrats to syako!

I am guilty of it. Celebs are guilty of it. We're all guilty of dressing like what Mother Nature delivered that day. If it's dark & stormy outside, the temptation to reflect that through your dress is palpable. If you have the energy to resist and wear bright colors and a smile, go for it; if you just want to throw on some cozy, dark layers feel free to do that too. Just promise me one thing: always try to look your most Fab. Which is what I was thinking when I put together my own dark & stormy ensemble here.

When it's cold outside, it's tempting to just throw on a heavy sweatshirt and sweatpants and hit the ground running. Problem is, this could leave us standing running out in the cold, wet and uncomfortable.

To keep warm think about correcting these common mistakes many people make while working out in the cold:

• Mistake #1: Wearing jeans or street clothes. Unless they’re waterproof (which most jeans are not) and designed to dry quickly (again, not my jeans), you’ll end up freezing cold and miserable.

• Mistake #2: Wearing only cotton. Cotton is great, but not for working out in the cold weather since it absorbs and retains sweat, rain, and snow.
• Mistake #3: Not layering clothing. Perfecting the art of layering is key to exercising happily outdoors in the winter. Not sure how to do it, be sure to check out my how to on layering effectively.
• Mistake #4: Layering socks. I learned this lesson while skiing and as a kid and the theory is that your feet will stay warmer with more layers, however, you could end up cutting off your circulation in your tootsies and making things much worse (and painful). Instead, invest in one good warm pair of wicking socks.
• Mistake #5: Not wearing a hat or gloves. We all lose a good amount of heat through our heads and hands, so keep warm by covering yours up.

The fashion police in me was very excited when I saw Keira in this disastrous outfit. I know it's raining, but that doesn't make it okay to dress like a bum - quite the contrary. My main man, Marc Jacobs, advocates layering, but this type of layering - unflattering and sloppy - is out of the question.

I'd first switch up those cowboy boots for a more sleek brown vintage pair. I'd keep the navy tights and v-neck sweater but would have worn a fresh white tank underneath it to break up the all-blue look. Next, I would have worn a menswear-inspired pair of brown plaid shorts and ditched the fedora (yawn). I do like the Egyptian-inspired necklace and tote though!

How would YOU Wear it?

I'm a sucker for layering so Biochick's lovely in layers ensemble caught my eye right away. This is the cutest a gal who's going to take an exam has looked! I adore the scarf and the effortless way she wrapped it around her neck a couple of times. The use of the colors white, black and yellow is also very current and hip.

Here's what she has on:

• Scarf: Esprit
• Black Cardigan: Gap
• Yellow Tank: TNA
• White Tank: Club Monaco
• Jeans: Esprit

Congrats to Biochick!
