I wont be hypocritical, I too have days when I say 'F*CK IT. I'm wearing my warmest and ugliest clothes, I don't care how I look' but then I remember how much better I feel about myself when I look good and I try to make the effort at least once in a while.
So here are my best tips:
LAYERS.
I'm sure you all know how important this is but I'll remind you on how you can go about it in a practical manner, without looking like Michelins.
When wearing pants, don't forget to but on tights underneath.
When wearing dresses or skirts, always wear a thin 20 den panty hose underneath your regular tights. It helps soo much.
Wear a singlet top underneath your blouse. If you're wearing a short sleeve dress, try a long sleeve top underneath, or combine it with a warm cardigan.
While you always want to keep you feet warm you do NOT want them to get wet or moist. So make sure your shoes are waterproof and make sure that they're not on too tight because that will actually make you feel even colder. A thin cotton-wool mix sock is often enough if you have good shoes.
While getting ready to go outside I need my cardigan.

My survival snoodie. I wear it as a scarf/hoodie. One wrap around my neck and the other around the head. No need for a hat. Perfect.
My coat isn't the warmest of its kind, but with all of the layers I'm wearing it's warm enough. Oh, and if you're thinking of getting a coat to wear in the coldest days of winter, buy a size larger than you would otherwise so you can wear a bunch of sweaters underneath it. All that's missing are my gloves which I put on after going outside. Warm, comfortable and feminine! Enjoy the holidays people!
