Getting dressed during the Winter is difficult enough [1], but getting dressed for a night out during the Winter? That's the trickiest of all. We're often forced to choose between looking sexy and staying warm [2], but thankfully, Olivia Palermo's shown us the way to stylishly achieve both.

At last night's Moët & Chandon pre-Golden Globes bash, the star wore a revealing outfit that she topped off with a key — and practical! — piece: a velvet embroidered blazer. Not only did the extra layer pair well with Olivia's cutout top, leather thigh-slit skirt, and peep-toe heels, but it also fought away any chill and was easy to remove once inside, proving that a stylish jacket [3] can sometimes make all the difference. (Bonus: it'll fit snugly under your puffy coat [4].)

Olivia showed off her leg through a leather embroidered thigh-slit skirt, which she paired with a choker-neck top and an embellished velvet blazer.

Once inside, she removed the blazer and was ready to party.

It seems Olivia is a fan of this cutout-top trend! Adding to our shopping list . . .
