VAIL, COLORADO: Ski bunny chic is more difficult than the ol' tights with a wool dress NYC trick that I used to pull. The snow is...actually...wet. And cold. And wet.

I paired a favorite pair of black skinny jeans under a luxe dress to winter-ize my look. To my surprise, it's a new favorite habit. 

A knee length shift dress with jeans-- dark or light-- can really withstand the cold while keeping you surprisingly chic. Show me your "skinny shift" on instagram by tagging #myskinnyshift and @elshanesworld -- winner gets a big style shout-out!!
