Dressing for the cold

I've heard that there is no bad weather, only poor clothing choices. But after two weeks spent well below freezing everyday, I'd argue strongly for bad weather. Admittedly some clothing choices are more sensible than others. You won't see me out there with bare feet in a pair of pumps, cute as they may be. The taller the boot, the better, as far as I'm concerned.

I've always been fond of wool coats - as in, I've never owned one of those parkas meant to keep you warm and as covered as possible. I imagine one of those might have been nice these past few weeks, but I did okay in my wool. Longer is better, and always with some type of hat, glove, and scarf. This fur scarf was a christmas gift. Faux fur is great because it looks stylish while still being remarkably warm.

Underneath it all, a silk base layer under the sweater, fleece lined knee socks under jeans, and naturally, when not taking photos, all buttoned, and zipped straight to the throat.

It's supposed to get up to 50° later this week, so naturally we'll all be out getting ice cream.
