She didn't go out into the cold.</p> <p>Beth Ann - you're right in that I wouldn't describe leather as "snuggly" but I do find it warm and comforting just in a different way than a big wooly sweater.</p> <p>Julie - whoo hoo! Let's hear it for The Peg!!!</p> <p>Thistle - oh dear - sorry about that!</p> <p>Denise - I do confess that I love an all black outfit....hmmmm....might have to do that this week...</p> <p>JulieJohn - you crack me up!</p> <p>Caro - I can't believe I hesitated over paying what I did for this jacket. It was worth every single penny!</p> <p>Katiepea - I would love to "split the difference" with you on the temperature. Let me know how we can arrange that - lol!</p> <p>lyn - OMG - isn't that the truth? It's always miserable for CaRMS! This handbag is butter soft lamb leather. If I ever stop using it as a handbag, I'm going to use it for a pillow (hardware side down, of course - lol!).</p> <p>Sveta - that's just cruel, going from +10 to -12!</p> <p>Thanks Carole, Kelly, Day Vies, Joy, Rae, Tina, and Krista! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-gold-for-the-cold#post-825141 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 00:26:19 +0000 Sveta 825141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sure you had snow melting where you stepped - this gold shirt just radiant enough for that! Not mentioning that your cool leather jacket is pretty hot as well :-)<br /> We have a cold day today too. Nothing I can impress you with (just mere -12C) but it feels pretty extreme after +10C last week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-gold-for-the-cold#post-825093 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 23:58:08 +0000 lyn* 825093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look smashing, Shannon! I can't believe I don't miss the -40 windchill (oh wait, I don't!) :p I love the look, and the shape of your handbag. It looks very soft. Like glove leather. :)</p> <p>It must be CaRMS week! The program directors used to always complain it was -40 and that's why no one liked our programs :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-gold-for-the-cold#post-825080 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 23:38:33 +0000 Krista 825080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Simple and modern! I am enjoying the brightness of the gold tucked in between the black. Very chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-gold-for-the-cold#post-825062 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 23:10:31 +0000 Tina.b 825062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think out temps were the same today, I wore my giant parka out!</p> <p>The gold just tempers the black outfit in a great way, and the print adds the extra dimension. Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-gold-for-the-cold#post-824971 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 21:20:52 +0000 Katiepea 824971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you've done a wonderful job to look so stylish when it is so cold outside. That yellow blouse in particular is *fantastic*. </p> <p>We are mid thirties here too at the moment (positive and C). How about between the two of us we find some sort of middle ground, temperature wise? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-gold-for-the-cold#post-824956 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 21:02:47 +0000 Caro in Oz 824956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Texture, pattern, colour - how can this be boring?

You look great in this color scheme. The yellow brightens the black just enough, although in truth because of your creamy complexion you could pull off an all-black outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-gold-for-the-cold#post-824783 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 17:55:24 +0000 Thistle 824783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you! The gold blouse looks amazing, and the leather jacket is rally the icing on the cake. For how cold it is, you are really keeping the style strong.</p> <p>Looks like Canada shared some of that cold with us! Supposed to get down to -27F tonight! It was in the 30s on Saturday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-gold-for-the-cold#post-824774 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 17:50:35 +0000 Julie 824774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If anyone want's to know what people from "Winterpeg", aka "The Peg" do in the winter, just follow this link.

You are right that the cold certainly puts a damper on outfit creativity but I really like this. It makes a simple but strong statement. I love it. (I'd copy it but I don't have a gold blouse or a leather jacket that fits me as well </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-gold-for-the-cold#post-824746 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 17:33:47 +0000 kellygirl 824746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love.

I find leather to be curiously lacking in the snuggly factor, which is one reason I don't have a leather jacket. What's your take on leather on cold days?</p> <p>I'm working from home today. Still in loungewear because I can't decide what to put on.<br /> I have to go out later, so I'd bettter solve my dilemma quickly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-gold-for-the-cold#post-824672 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 16:40:49 +0000 Carole 824672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brrrrr, Shannon.

I love the color in your shirt as well!</p> <p>Can't imagine getting through your winters... I like that we rarely get to freezing temps... Although it would have been nice to have had the predicted 2-4 inches of snow last week.. We ended up with rain since the temperatures stayed 5 degrees above freezing. The night after the snow we hit 3 degrees below freezing.. And by the weekend we had 60 degree temps so go figure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-gold-for-the-cold#post-824471 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 13:49:02 +0000 Anonymous 824471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Minimal, stylish, fab! what more can I say? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-gold-for-the-cold#post-824447 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 12:41:35 +0000 Anonymous 824447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not boring at all!

There aren't a lot of bells and whistles but the pieces are strong and look great on you.<br /> I can't even imagine those frigid temperatures. I believe I would put on a parka and not take it off until spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-gold-for-the-cold#post-824443 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 12:38:33 +0000 krishnidoux 824443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, how do I understand! Read my rant I just posted: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/canadian-winter-what-it-looks-like-now" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....s-like-now</a></p> <p>You give me ideas and courage for today, Shannon! Thank you!<br /> I agree the yellow blouse fits you very well and is like a warm ray of sunshine, which is something we all need now I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-gold-for-the-cold#post-824440 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 12:33:59 +0000 Jaime 824440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I Iove the black and gold combination, and, as you have said, that jacket just elevates everything you wear. My sympathies about the cold. Brrrrrrrr! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-gold-for-the-cold#post-824438 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 12:32:30 +0000 Deborah 824438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Th outfit isn't exactly unexciting either :). I love it. This blouse is a stunner, I love it on you Shannon. To my eye this is an exciting outfit. It is streamlined, classy, modern and elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-gold-for-the-cold#post-824436 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 12:30:33 +0000 Raisin 824436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear ya Shannon! It's freezing out East too, though not quite as cold. Brrrr!</p> <p>Love the black and gold! The trousers look great too, nice change from skinny.</p> <p>Keep warm! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-gold-for-the-cold#post-824434 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 12:28:30 +0000 Transcona Shannon 824434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's hard to be inspired with your outfit when really all you want to do is stay under the covers and keep warm. We have a windchill warning this morning and it is currently -42C with the windchill (the temperature on its own is -30C). And no relief in sight for the next 4-5 days from these frigid temperatures. I hate January in Winnipeg!</p> <p>My outfit started with simple black trousers, to which I added my gold &amp; charcoal snakeskin print blouse. On top of that is my black leather blazer and for footwear, my simple Clarks shooties. For a handbag, I chose my Christopher Kon pebbled black leather with gold hardware hobo style bag.</p> <p>This outfit isn't exactly exciting but it's warm and comfortable and today, that's what counted. It's interesting to note that originally I put on my slim Calvin Klein cigarette trousers and then changed into these pants - I really am over skinny trousers.</p> <p>Anyway, what do you think? Proportions ok? Boring or interest? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Leather blazer: Danier Leather<br /> Blouse: Vince Camuto<br /> Trousers: Reitmans<br /> Shooties: Clarks<br /> Handbag: Christopher Kon (consignment) </p>
