Anyway...</p> <p>Runcarla - yes, I’ve learned that high contrast is a happy thing for me. It may explain why I gravitate to patterns like stripes.</p> <p>JAileen - these boots are awesome. Warm and waterproof but also allow me to be very mobile. I’m not sure if I even need the duck boots anymore, but I will hold them through the spring to see. </p> <p>nemosmom, for sure! A heavy sweater at home is fine unless you’re doing work. We are keeping the apartment at about 70 Fahrenheit right now, and so sometimes I want something lighter if I’m cooking or unpacking. </p> <p>FashIntern - those look very good. Thanks for pointing them out!</p> <p>Joy, I expect next winter to be different from this one, so I won’t buy too much.<br /> I’m glad I got the boots since apparently I needed something with traction. The use I’m getting from them now would justify it, plus my in-laws live someone where more snowy than here so I need snow boots sometimes. As for lounge clothes, we will control our indoor temps no matter what the weather outside. We’ve vowed to keep it cooler than our old place, which was a furnace. </p> <p>Angie - the boots are great! Cute and wearable. I’m glad I kicked into something so nice on one try. </p> <p>Suz, definitely! In my case finally have climate control makes a big change. I won’t miss roasting 9-10 months a year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lemming-sweaters-snow-boots-and-new-wardrobe-needs#post-2173501 Sat, 20 Feb 2021 04:18:26 +0000 Suz 2173501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sweater is great on you! Actually, I love them both and they are terrific with the boots!&nbsp;</p> <p>Isn't it amazing how a move, even within the same district, can necessitate updates of some capsules? I found the same when we went from Vancouver to Victoria.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lemming-sweaters-snow-boots-and-new-wardrobe-needs#post-2173389 Fri, 19 Feb 2021 17:24:29 +0000 Angie 2173389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun to see you in your new digs,<b> Christina!</b></p> <p>It all looks FABULOUS! Both sweaters look great with the boots. Love the white laces on those snow boots too. Gives them a prettier edge :)</p> <p>And bless you for refreshing wardrobe basics....</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lemming-sweaters-snow-boots-and-new-wardrobe-needs#post-2173360 Fri, 19 Feb 2021 15:49:55 +0000 Anonymous 2173360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on your new place. Winter next year may be completely different, so go slowly with changes. My clothes are now all in one place after our last move, but I kind of miss switching them out with the seasons and the fun seeing old favorites brings. Some things like summer shoes are put on a high shelf for the summer. Booties will replace them on the high shelf in a couple of months. I keep them fairly close by because they can be worn here year round and no one would think it strange. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lemming-sweaters-snow-boots-and-new-wardrobe-needs#post-2173346 Fri, 19 Feb 2021 14:59:42 +0000 Mirjana 2173346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both sweaters are beautiful on you.

Lol. Enjoy it—it’s great when we remember to appreciate such “little” things. I posted about these tops a while ago. Maybe they’d work well for you at home, as they are sleek enough to go under sweaters but the channels and neckline make them interesting enough, imo, to wear on their own </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lemming-sweaters-snow-boots-and-new-wardrobe-needs#post-2173329 Fri, 19 Feb 2021 13:51:11 +0000 nemosmom 2173329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on finally having all your clothes in one place!&nbsp; Your new pieces sound perfect.&nbsp; I can't wait to hear how your loungewear capsule progresses. I hear you on wanting "less than a sweater but more than a tee" and usually resort to adding zip up jacket or cardigan...&nbsp; dressing for home climate has been tricky for me! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lemming-sweaters-snow-boots-and-new-wardrobe-needs#post-2173290 Fri, 19 Feb 2021 05:21:03 +0000 slim cat 2173290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both sweaters are pretty on you!

I am finally in my new home (see off topic). Phew!</div><div><br /> </div><div>I have settled in to the point where I <i>believe </i> I have access to all my clothes and have them either at had or put side due to weather.</div><div><br /> </div><div>First up, I have today's outfit with the Madewell sweater I lemming'd (hi <b>Janet!)</b>. My new home can be kept cold enough that sweaters are relevant to my life again; they hadn't really been since the pandemic started. (NB: No full length mirror yet. Next month. I am wearing basic soft lounge pants with it--usually I'd wear jeans but I'm kinda bloated today.)<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>Second, I am trying on the argyle sweater from Halogen (hi again <b>Janet!)</b>. I had to size down, but it's very soft and comfy.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>I am not usually wearing such slouchy sweaters these days, but the ability to semi-tuck adds enough structure, and the vibe feels right for cold, snowy pandemic times.</div><div><br /> </div><div>Third, I bought new snow boots from Sorel. I needed them because I had passed on my old Sorels (big, clomp-y Joan of Artics, which were not needed for my lifestyle or our <i>usual</i> winters). Of course, we are now having our first real winter with lots of snow since 2016 or so. I had duck boots on hand, but they weren't cutting it on all the ice in my new neighborhood (smaller-size homes = less consistent sidewalk shoveling). These new Sorels fit very well out of the box and are supportive, cute and great for the snow, wet and ice. The profile is closer to a hi-top sneaker or mid-calf boot, which makes them much easier to wear than the bigger Sorels I passed on. I am not sorry to have made the change, though I am wondering if my Sperry duck boots will be superfluous now.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>I am also finding that my loungewear capsule needs an update. Most of what I wore before I moved was t-shirts and tanks, along with lightweight jogger pants. I had some hoodies already that I can now use more, but a new pair of warmer joggers and a long-sleeve tee (see Finds) were also in order. I have two other similar pairs of bottoms already, but I am severely lacking in long sleeve tops. Sometimes in the new home I want something less than a sweater and more than a tee.Previously, long sleeve lounge tops were usually orphans, so I didn't keep too many.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>I also found that the ONE pair of flannel pj's I had kept, which have sock monkeys on them, still fit and are great now. I couldn't wear anything like that at all before, except when visiting family. Some of my current pj's may be obsolete, depending what temp we keep the house at in the summer. I will probably seek out one more pair of flannels for now. My lounge clothes must be separate from my bed clothes, due to cat dander, so this is really a separate category for me. (My cats don’t sleep with us.)</div> </p>
