Trust Me—Buy This is a series where editor at large Nicole Eshaghpour makes her favorite fashion finds shoppable for Who What Wear readers.

Okay guys, we made it to December, and here in NYC, that means two things: We’re dressing for holiday parties, and we’re dressing for the cold. Unfortunately, these don’t always go hand in hand, but what can you do but make it work?! Whether it’s for an office event, bestie gathering, or school drop-off, there are outfits to be worn. All I can say is I tried my best—insert laughing/crying emoji here. Really, I’ve been making it work this winter with new finds and old favorites, and it’s been kind of fun putting outfits together for new occasions nearly every day.

Just what have I been throwing on as of late? Well, you’re about to find out. Below, you’ll find what I’ve been wearing and repeating, from casual looks to party-ready ‘fits. Expect a mix of steals and splurge pieces, classic items and trendier picks, and, as always, a lot of black pieces and basics. Ready to get started? Simply keep scrolling.

For anyone keeping tabs, this is probably the first hat to ever appear in this series, and that’s how you know how cold it’s been where I live. Thankfully, this jacket has been keeping me very warm and earning compliments left and right.

Anytime I have a party and don’t know what to wear, I opt for some version of this outfit: a black dress, sheer tights, slingbacks, and a fun bag. Now, this dress is technically a top, so if needed, it can be layered over a black miniskirt. On me, however, it was just the right length. I had been eyeing it for some time, so I bought it immediately once the sales started, but I was able to find it still in stock!

Another go-to outfit of mine? Oversize blazer dress with tights and knee-high boots. Now, my exact one is no longer available, but I stumbled upon an alternative piece I just might buy myself as well.

I was actually going to curriculum night at my children’s school followed by a dinner this evening, so this is what I went with! Whenever I’m trying to dress for multiple things at once, I find that a sweater, a belt, and trousers are a safe choice.
