However, I could never bring myself to do it even though I saw other girls wearing boots (even the dreaded UGGS) all year long. But I'm not a fan of snow or rain so I know that even though I like boots and other fall clothes I would rather live in heat. That being said this is my first year in Southern California so I'm interested to see how the weather is... I'm originally a northern Ca girl (chilly winters) and lived in Hi for over 7 years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-need-to-move#post-719210 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 18:01:45 +0000 JR 719210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL @ JulieJohn.</p> <p>Drool over Italian boots instead, Rae. They have a similar climate. Like the guy who sold me my first Blondos a gazillion years ago said, "What do Italian designers know about Canadian winters?" He was so right, but it works in both directions.</p> <p>I loved those boots. So clompy, so classic, so warm... I'd buy them again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-need-to-move#post-719209 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 17:59:38 +0000 catgirl 719209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JulieJohn has the perfect solution, since I'd give up my entire wardrobe to live in Hawai'i! Can't say L.A. calls to me, other than the YLFers I'd get to hang out with there... </p> <p>Believe me, snow and cold gets old fast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-need-to-move#post-719174 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 16:50:52 +0000 JulieJohn 719174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the solution: trade houses with Una for the winter!</p> <p>She could bring her dresses, and her shades, and run around happily in this godforsaken sunny clime. You could bring / buy all manner of leather accoutrements with grommets and laces and thick treaded soles, and clomp around cozily in rain, sleet, and snow.</p> <p>Problem solved. BAM. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-need-to-move#post-719171 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 16:47:49 +0000 rachylou 719171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see rain or snow either, but I have cause for Sorel's nonetheless. Yes, yes I do... ;&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-need-to-move#post-719163 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 16:36:10 +0000 JAileen 719163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You should visit Lake Tahoe this winter. Hopefully, there will be a ton of snow, and you'll need some Sorels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-need-to-move#post-719159 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 16:27:23 +0000 RedM 719159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got a pair of hounds tooth print Sorel boots for Christmas last year. Then it barely snowed. In Maine of all places. They are crazy comfortable though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-need-to-move#post-719144 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 16:08:48 +0000 catgirl 719144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, this is an issue for me now that I've accepted my dominant season. I'm even drooling over winter running gear at Title Nine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-need-to-move#post-719121 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 15:39:06 +0000 Diana 719121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like living in a four-season climate, but I could do without snow. It's gross. I don't like rain either. (California girl at heart!) So, the temperature can fluctuate all it wants as long as it is sunny!</p> <p>I bought Sorels last winter and only wore them twice too. This winter will likely be gross though! That said, you should come visit. =) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-need-to-move#post-719099 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 15:11:51 +0000 Mo 719099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't miss LA for a second! My whole family is from there, and half still live there, but there are so many other awesome places to be :)<br /> There is a condo next to us that's empty in Tahoe Of course, the job thing is a real bear (ha ha - get it? XD) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-need-to-move#post-719095 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 15:02:28 +0000 rae 719095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually very tempting, Angie! You too, Shannon. I think I have more friends in Seattle than I do in LA at the moment, lol. They all keep moving out of the country!</p> <p>On a serious note, DH and I have said for some time it would be nice to try living somewhere else... the big catch is getting at least one of us a job with heath insurance, since I'm starting over and he is in film/tv. Le sigh... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-need-to-move#post-719084 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:42:40 +0000 Angie 719084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Come live in Seattle. It's a cool city. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-need-to-move#post-719083 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:41:33 +0000 rae 719083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for assuring me I'm not crazy, ladies! Can you believe I've only seen snow twice? DH assures me the novelty wears off fast (he is from Ohio), but it is easy to dream about braving some elements when it is hot hot hot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-need-to-move#post-719044 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:01:35 +0000 Transcona Shannon 719044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You want to wear Sorels? Come visit me in Winnipeg in January Rae - you can tramp through our 5 feet of snow and the minus 30 celcius degree weather to your heart's content! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-need-to-move#post-719043 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:01:25 +0000 Sara L. 719043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I hear you! I live in the desert and I still look at rain and snow boots every fall/winter. Thank goodness I've learned to shop for my environment and I never actually buy them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-need-to-move#post-719019 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 13:38:42 +0000 celia 719019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:)<br /> the heart wants what the heart wants.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-need-to-move#post-718997 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 13:15:25 +0000 Makrame 718997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) I bought wonderful Sorel boots last winter and we hardly had any snow! Normally we get a pile 5 or 6 feet high at the end of the driveway. It was almost comical... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-need-to-move#post-718940 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 11:23:31 +0000 Kim 718940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll trade with you for the winter! (I'm in Canada, you could wear those babies for at least 5 or 6 months here...) I'd love a winter with no snow or rain! I'd buy *shoes*!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-need-to-move#post-718920 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 10:15:59 +0000 Mander 718920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I lived in the southwestern US, I did this all the time. I'd look at fashion magazines and be completely baffled as to how anyone could wear so many clothes without being unbearably sweaty all the time!</p> <p>All in all, I'm kinda glad that I moved to a chillier location. I prefer jackets to tank tops, and they are much easier to wear here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-need-to-move#post-718917 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 09:59:09 +0000 kimlee 718917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae - No you are not nuts. I have done similar things and my seasons are hot, hotter, hottest - and 1 day of cold weather! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-need-to-move#post-718880 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 06:37:31 +0000 rae 718880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...because seriously, who spends the better part of an hour drooling over the Sorel website when they hardly see any rain - let alone snow - throughout the year? Am I nuts?? </p>
