I generally dislike winter, mainly because it is so difficult to be both warm and attractive in the bitter cold. Scarves fly off of me unless I stuff them into my coat, my ears freeze up, and I can’t answer my iphone to save my freaking life.

Enter three affordable, adorable cold weather accessories. Perfect for not only the freezing cold, but also my tiny budget:

Heart Shaped Ear Muffs (adorable!), only $5.50 at Forever 21 stores nationwide

My co-worker has these in hot hot pink, and I feel in love! They not only keep your ears nice and warm, but they make being bundled up look pretty darn adorable, don’t you think? 

Plus, they come in several different colors! So if hot pink is a little too much girlie girl for you, check them out in green or blue.

Old Navy Sequin Infinity Scarf, $19.94 at OldNavy.com

I’ve satisfied my sequin craving this winter by having a subtle scarf do the trick. This Old Navy infinity scarf is warm and fashionable — and on those extra cold days, I like to slip on my cashmere scarf underneath for added warmth.

They don’t have the additional colors available online, but my scarf is a gorgeous shade of dark purple/burgundy. It adds the perfect pop of color to my generally neutral winter wardrobe.

Echo Ruched Tough Gloves, $22.40 at Bloomingdales.com

The whole not-being-able-to-answer-your-phone-with-gloves-on is so last year, people! Echo makes gorgeous touch technology gloves for only $22.40!

They come in 6 different shades to match any outfit, and they pay for themselves after the first phone call or text message you’re able to answer without immediately getting frost bite.

A word of advice — definitely try them out before purchasing. Some of them work better than others (who can say why? They just do), so I strongly recommend heading into a store to get a feel for them.

Now who said that being bundled up had to be such an ugly experience? Definitely not me!
