Oh, the weather outside is… frightfully cold lately! We had a wind warning going for a while and with it came the cold weather. The sudden cold weather meant I needed to get out my cold-weather pieces. Bonus is that the holiday season is officially here and no one can get annoyed at me for singing Christmas songs or wearing festive pieces like the bright red plaid blanket scarf I’m wearing.
BUNDLING UP FOR THE COLD WEATHER
I love this time of year because it means layers. Lots and lots of layers! Bring on all the scarves too! I have a couple of different ones now from Buttercream Clothing. This one made the trek to New York and back with me last winter. If you are looking for some great scarf options definitely go check out what Buttercream has. The Manitoba print is fantastic for the holiday season.
Blanket scarves are very versatile thanks to the many different ways you can wear them. My favourite is the three-point wrap or bandana. Bonus is that if it’s cold anywhere I go, I can actually use it as a blanket. Done that a couple of times for my kids.
Finding boots that fit can be a bit tricky for me. Any boot I wear needs to be constructed wear and comfortable, with good arch support. I was able to wear walking during a 3-hour visit at the Vancouver Christmas Market because my feet stayed comfy and warm the whole time. I actually had a couple of people ask if my feet hurt. They were surprised to hear me say no.
FINDING THE PERFECT SKINNY JEANS
Any time I’ve shared a photo on Instagram with me wearing these jeans, my inbox gets flooded with questions. I have been on the hunt for the perfect skinny jeans that work for me for a long time. The Bombshell Skinny Jeans have been the best jeans I have tied yet.
The price point is a bit high unless you luck out on a good sale. However, I consider these jeans to be an investment piece. Normally my jeans would stretch out and lose their shape immediately. These ones haven’t done that yet. Bombshell Skinny Jeans are fitted through from thigh to ankle. I love that the waistband has elastic on it and that there is front compression mesh panelling. I know they are a great choice when my husband has even said they are the best jeans I own.
Those are some of my go-to pieces for the colder weather and holiday season.
Do you have any staple pieces in your closet for this time of year?
