Hi ! 

I think "warming" underwear type tank tops or teeshirts (like Uniqlo heattech for exemple) are nice during winter time as they are usually thin enough to be worn under dresses or tops. 

I think it's better if they don't show up on the cleavage but sometimes that can be quite cute with a contrasting color.

Tops with long sleeves (obviously !), cute cardigans, twin sets, Velvet dresses... cigarette pants if you like them (I don't personnaly but to each their own), pencil skirts with pantyhose... cute victorian style boots. 

Faux leopard fur coat is a great way to be warm in style when you get out too if you see yourself wearing a bold leopard print on a daily basis :). 

In my opinion the best way is to layer up : warm tank+long sleeved top+cardigan+jacket/coat 

Gloves are so classy and PUG has a great selection ! I love the buttonned ones :) 

For headwear I personnaly looove berrets but maybe that's because I'm french :D haha

A silk scarf to cover your neck is very pretty too because it's light but silk keeps you very warm too :) a faux fur stole/scarf looks very glamourous or a night out. 

Well it was not much but I hope it helps you a little ! 

Kisses !

Viola

I really had to lol at this- I'm in Canada, Winnipeg (8 hours NORTH of Minneapolis, and 8 hours north of me? there are polar bears and narwhals. seriously) our winters get to -45. with this in mind, I've found it not too easy to winterize pug items for a Canadian winter- I usually wear silk long underwear and then a pair of leggings or tights and boots. 

for a Northern California winter (I'm from Santa Monica California so I get and understand california cold, versus anywhere else) I would stick with simple coats: try Asos (UK shop), Dorothy Perkins (also UK but both ship the US) and wear a thicker cotton tight (sockdreams an online store based in Oregon sells these). Alternately, pea coats, and car coats from the Gap/Banana republic are nice. I'd also invest in cardigans- the trick/key to keeping warm is layers. I personally live in Pencil skirts, the above mentioned silk long underwear, leggings, socks and boots, turtle necks, cardigans from November-April which is how long winter lasts here.
