Dressing for winter can be a bit tricky sometimes. I have a few rules of the thumb I like to follow though that get me through the low temps in style. 

1) WARMTH NECESSARY

SHOP: 

2) DEFINITELY COZY

SHOP: Roxy Snowboard Gear, Burton Gloves (Cheaper on Amazon than Burton), Goggles

3) NEEDS FUNCTIONALITY 

4) AND IT HAS TO BE CUTE

SHOP: beanie, fingerless gloves, heather grey sweater

We all know layers are important for the cooler months but no one wants to go around looking like an oomp loompa just to stay warm. It's important to pick nicer investment pieces for the larger items like your coats and sweaters. You can mix those with affordable accessories and stay warm while looking cute and not breaking the bank.
