I'll admit that I don't love dressing for winter. I'm more of a "sundress and strappy sandals" type of girl. But living in NYC means it's time to bundle up—whether I like it or not. Thankfully, Reformation, Zara, and Anthropologie came to the rescue with so many cute winter items that I softened to the idea of bundling up. On my hunt for winter items to get me in the mood for the months ahead, I found 30 chic items that I knew I needed in my closet like yesterday. Keep scrolling to see which Ref, Zara, and Anthro picks I'm loving at the moment.
