No need to look drab because you want to keep warm this winter. Here’s how to achieve that simple, but sexy, country-girl look and be snug, as well. Wear lots and lots of layers of clothes in prints and plains and add a frilly summer petticoat to give a touch of spice. It’s a fabulous way of wearing your summer clothes, too — and so save on your budget. Add a polo neck to a printed summer skirt and top the lot with a thin, plain pinny. See? It’s easy . . . it’s warm . . . and makes your whole wardrobe go a very long way . . .
