Great job with the accessories. You didn't mention socks, but on cold days I wear thick, fuzzy socks under my leather boots to keep my feet warm. No one has to know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surviving-the-polar-vortex#post-1148138 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 04:03:25 +0000 anne 1148138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gotta stay warm!

Our winters usually aren't nearly this bad either -- it's usually news if it gets down into the teens <i>ever</i>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surviving-the-polar-vortex#post-1148061 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 02:17:08 +0000 Lisa 1148061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also layering my heaviest sweaters.&nbsp; Turtlenecks are my friends right now and so are my thermals.&nbsp; Fun colored trousers here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surviving-the-polar-vortex#post-1147946 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 23:51:40 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1147946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Layering up myself and not use to these temps...love that hairclip and a great warm outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surviving-the-polar-vortex#post-1147926 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 23:17:40 +0000 lisaflex 1147926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>super cold here. darn polar vortex.</p> <p></p> <p>a girl has got to do what she has to do in these frigid temps!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surviving-the-polar-vortex#post-1147875 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 22:08:59 +0000 E 1147875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good! A sleek, warm look wins the day. :)&nbsp;That hair barrette is jaw dropping. Your reason for not wearing a silk scarf made me laugh.</p> <p>A lot of the kids around here don't have winter gear either, although we're not going to drop as low as you (20s I think the lowest expected). I saw teens walking home in hoodies during our last cold snap, when I was comfortably bundled in knee length wool coat &amp; hat/scarf/gloves &amp; more wool underneath. Although the high school I live near is a well off one, so I think it's more a cool thing than financial need. Kid coats are only $2 at our Goodwills, so hopefully those who need them can find them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/surviving-the-polar-vortex#post-1147801 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 20:58:04 +0000 unfrumped 1147801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty simple, clean-lined look for the warmth factor.

Decided on this faceted carnelian pendant set in sterling silver, that I bought in Albuquerque several years ago.&nbsp; Since the shape is square it took me awhile to find earrings to harmonize - I finally went with my prayer wheel earrings.&nbsp; Finally, in attempt to pull in a wee bit more Asian influence, I added this awesome hair ornament carved from water buffalo horn.&nbsp; It's difficult to see, but it's a dragon - the stick is going through its mouth. </p> <p>I wasn't thrilled with this when I left the house, but I actually like the pics better than I thought I would.&nbsp; If nothing else, I look warm, right? </p>
