I suspected you both would like this :)</p> <p>Suz, 6C is sooo cold!! I would classify 12C as a very cold day. I actually tolerate colder weather well as long as it’s crisp and sunny. If the sun is shining, I don’t mind single digits at all (not that I experience them often). But when it’s cold combined with rain, grey skies and/or wind - that’s when I will reach for a puffer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-blue-green-patina#post-2362428 Mon, 10 Jun 2024 19:06:18 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2362428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are a mermaid in winter!!! &nbsp;Love this!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-blue-green-patina#post-2362420 Mon, 10 Jun 2024 18:43:41 +0000 Suz 2362420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, no wonder you forgot about the reversibility since the other side is blue and that's not usually your favourite. :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I laughed at the story of the Kiwi/ Australian dressing differences. We kind of have the same thing with Canada/ US. But Victorians are a funny mix! You can some of them in puffers when it is 20C and some in shorts when it is 8C -- it all depends on age and activity level, I guess. Those of us who have moved here from other parts of Canada laugh (for the first few years) when people here describe 6C as "SO COLD!!" because 6C in other parts of Canada counts as a very mild winter day. </p> <p>But -- it does make a difference to be on the sea and in the winds and the damp cold really does go through you in a different way. So I find I'm wearing some kind of puffer at least occasionally from November through May and sometimes into June! Then again, I rarely need more than a light puffer. (Sometimes with rain gear layered over it, LOL.)&nbsp;</p> <p>I think I'd find Australia's heat very punishing and would take some time to get used to it. Canada's cold and snow and sleet can be very challenging to dress for (at least fashionably) but once you get accustomed to it, it's not really as bad as it might sound.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-blue-green-patina#post-2362416 Mon, 10 Jun 2024 17:02:48 +0000 Suntiger 2362416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Plonk!<br /> *carries off ahmazing puffer* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-blue-green-patina#post-2362339 Sun, 09 Jun 2024 15:47:04 +0000 Angie 2362339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five,<b> Suz</b>! You can tell we live in the same climate and area :)</p> <p>YES, <b>Brooklyn</b>! I'm nodding along. And thanks for the compliment :)</p> <p>EVERYONE in Seattle has some type of puffer and usually multiple across a range of weights - fashion, gear, and often both.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-blue-green-patina#post-2362333 Sun, 09 Jun 2024 11:52:17 +0000 Brooklyn 2362333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Bijou. Winter is here! It’s fun to be wearing boots and jackets again.</p> <p>Thanks Kate, Jaime, Val, christelJ and Dee.</p> <p>Thanks Sal. Have you seen that IG video comparing how NZers and Australians dress at various temperatures? The Kiwi wears shorts and a tee at 28C and then dropping down to 21C, 15C and 8C (or thereabouts, you get the idea). The Australian is in a puffer boots beanie and scarf from about 21C. So true!</p> <p>Suz, I forgot it is reversible! It is a plain dark blue on the inside. I don’t think I could cope with a Canadian winter. The temperatures seem terrifying. See my comment to Sal above for how we dress at 21C :)</p> <p>Cat2, that’s unusual. Good find. Sometimes I layer them under a jacket if I’m not in the mood for their particular (quilted, slightly shiny) look. The sleeveless versions are especially good for that. </p> <p>Angie, you look fabulous in your puffers They have really revolutionised cold weather dressing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-blue-green-patina#post-2362332 Sun, 09 Jun 2024 10:42:22 +0000 Bijou 2362332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A stunning outfit. I wore my light puffer today too, first time this year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-blue-green-patina#post-2362328 Sun, 09 Jun 2024 05:45:52 +0000 Kate 2362328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a gorgeous puffer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-blue-green-patina#post-2362321 Sun, 09 Jun 2024 01:12:22 +0000 Jaime 2362321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We have pretty mild winters but I love to feel toasty in a light puffer.

Awesome colours. You are clever to see the potential without the fur.</p> <p>I too only have a light puffer - super useful here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-blue-green-patina#post-2362310 Sat, 08 Jun 2024 16:05:30 +0000 Suz 2362310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Brooklyn</b> -- that coat is amazing on you! What a find! It's the perfect combo of colours. It says reversible -- what is it on the other side? And yay for Mum's toque -- it is brilliant with the coat and on you!&nbsp;</p> <p>Like <b>Angie</b>, I find I wear my lightweight puffers a <b>LOT</b> in my current climate. I have 3 right now. My heavier ones (bought when I lived in Ontario) come out for maybe for a 2 week period in deep winter.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-blue-green-patina#post-2362308 Sat, 08 Jun 2024 15:47:58 +0000 Val MN 2362308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent styling of the excellent hand knit accessory! It fits right in with the rest of the outfit, which isn’t always the case. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-blue-green-patina#post-2362303 Sat, 08 Jun 2024 14:38:58 +0000 Angie 2362303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Brooklyn</b>, we might need to start a lightweight puffer fan club! My heavy long Canadian arctic puffer only comes out in snow, and 0C and below. Not worn too regularly in Seattle. Even I overheat! But my lighter short puffers are workhorses :)</p> <p>I have two by an Italian company who saves the ducks. The champagne one has an extra cosy shearling lining for colder weather. Despite their sporty appearance, I feel super duper in both of them. Perfect for long doggie adventures too.</p> <p>Go Team Lightweight Puffer! LOVE yours on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-blue-green-patina#post-2362300 Sat, 08 Jun 2024 13:24:40 +0000 cat2 2362300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great puffer! I like the warmth of a puffer but not the usual look. I found one where the outer layer of the jacket is smooth, and the quilting is only visible inside. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-blue-green-patina#post-2362295 Sat, 08 Jun 2024 12:16:02 +0000 ChristelJ 2362295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Prettiest puffer ever.

Perfectly accessorized with the slouchy teal bag and the adorable beanie, good on your mom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-blue-green-patina#post-2362288 Sat, 08 Jun 2024 11:27:27 +0000 Brooklyn 2362288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks OG. It’s funny how a little detail like that can make a difference. </p> <p>Kookaburra, thanks. I wear my boots with skirts too. I don’t know how I ever lived without this type of boot. I wish I had discovered them sooner. My feet would be in better shape!</p> <p>Thanks MJ and slim cat. My mum made me a jumper in the same yarn. So I can pair it with that as well. You can’t have too much teal ombré :)</p> <p>Joy, they are super practical for sure. And they also add some nice texture and a touch of modernity. When I saw the Alexander McQueen exhibition in Melbourne they had one of his puffers on display and explained how much he loved their sleek, angular lines. It made me think about them differently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-blue-green-patina#post-2362284 Sat, 08 Jun 2024 10:27:51 +0000 Olive Green 2362284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unusual colours, and velvety pants and hat. So pretty. Would not occur to me to take the fur off the coat, improved it greatly.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-blue-green-patina#post-2362282 Sat, 08 Jun 2024 07:50:27 +0000 Kookaburra 2362282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Soo gorgeous and unique! The matching beanie is gold, and the fact that it was made by your Mum is double gold. </p> <p>As an aside, I’m also finding that I’m wearing my black lace-up boots very similar to yours. I fit them in that brief window between lockdown 1&amp;2 - and somehow hardly wore them. But they are perfect with my new long denim skirts </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-blue-green-patina#post-2362280 Sat, 08 Jun 2024 07:35:50 +0000 Mirjana 2362280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adorable puffer, just for you.

I need pretty cool temperatures for puffers otherwise I can start to feel a bit sticky. I like the look though (modern to my eye) and they dry really well if they get wet. I agree the pattern is very me! And the ombré beanie too. It was meant to be :)</p> <p>Thanks pirouette. I know! I saw your comment about it being 11C in Summer where you are. Brrrr!</p> <p>Thanks JAileen. I especially like the Uniqlo ones that come with a little bag that you can pack them away into. </p> <p>Thanks Aquamarine and Bonnie. Combining teal and green always make my heart sing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-blue-green-patina#post-2362263 Sat, 08 Jun 2024 01:23:26 +0000 Bonnie 2362263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Teal is a beautiful color and sometimes hard to find.

You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-blue-green-patina#post-2362255 Sat, 08 Jun 2024 00:07:42 +0000 pirouette 2362255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So rich and luxurious looking lIts a very unusual colour puffer very beautiful and so you. I am laughing as you are wearing a light puffer for winter and I am wearing a light puffer for the Irish summer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-blue-green-patina#post-2362254 Fri, 07 Jun 2024 23:45:38 +0000 Angie 2362254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Forgot to say:</p> <p>Clever Mama :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-blue-green-patina#post-2362252 Fri, 07 Jun 2024 23:38:44 +0000 Angie 2362252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER CUTE! You're adorable in the ombré beanie too :)</p> <p>I can't think of a more <b>Brooklyn-Puffer</b> than this one! Major score, and absolutely PERFECT!!!</p> <p>You rock those skinnies too. They work well tucked into boots - should&nbsp; that tickle your fancy...</p> <p>As for lightweight puffers - short and long - I think they work everywhere at some point during the year. Just so practical and comfy! I'm a fan ;)&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-blue-green-patina#post-2362250 Fri, 07 Jun 2024 23:23:55 +0000 Brooklyn 2362250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m not much of a puffer wearer (sorry Rachy). My climate doesn’t justify it. But I do find lightweight puffer jackets useful for wet or windy days in winter.</p> <p>We’ve had some very wet weather, so I broke out the puffer jacket that I bought at the end of winter last year. I like the abstract pattern. It looks like rusted metal or one of Monet’s later paintings. Patina! It had (fake) fur trims, but I removed them. </p> <p>I wore it with a green thumb hole jumper and fine corduroy jeans that are like velvet. The jeans look black in the photo but they are actually dark green. A few shades darker than the jumper. Dark green (and teal) velvet are BIG weaknesses for me. These are straight leg jeans but they fit more like a skinny on me (most straight legs do). Much as I like my long baggy jeans, I find slim fit styles more practical for wet weather.</p> <p>My mum made me the beanie. She was thrilled with the match with my jacket. </p>
