It has not only been cold, cold, cold - the snow has been relentless, even when it's super cold. Our winter began with a huge snowfall the third week in October and it has not let up even a bit. On the bright side, I'm getting regular workouts shoveling the driveway. I'm in northern Alberta. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dressing-for-the-cold#post-836319 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:30:42 +0000 Transcona Shannon 836319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christieanne - have had a lot of snow so far this winter but usually when it's this cold, it doesn't snow. In fact the ski is a beautiful clear blue and the sun is shining brightly. We usually get snow when it's warmer and cloudy.</p> <p>Rae - yeah, it's not fit for man nor beast when it's this cold. I'm afraid I do have to smile when you California girls say it's cold there - lol! But I do know it's all relative.</p> <p>Thank you DV, Ingunn, Beth Ann and Sarah!</p> <p>Angie - you ok??? Was the fainting from the outfit or our temperature - lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dressing-for-the-cold#post-836300 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:17:47 +0000 Sarah A 836300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Had to come over after Angie mentioned the faint worthiness on Suz's thread.

Is it snowing heavily? Excuse my California ignorance of such things......<br /> But you look amazingly ready for anything and smiling through it all!<br /> Those booties are just killing me - first on Suz and now on you. Great contrast with the stripe sweater. </p> <p>Stay cozy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dressing-for-the-cold#post-836161 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:40:12 +0000 rae 836161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look cozy and happy, but my brain cannot comprehend that much cold.

Our weather is so crazy. I guess I should expect that cold snap to head our way, were only at -6C today out East. </p> <p>Well I love the stripes, you look ready for the cold and still stylish! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dressing-for-the-cold#post-836009 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 15:11:44 +0000 Tina.b 836009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this with the semi tuck, contrasts the strong horizontals of the sweater and gives you the perfect proportions. You've really illustrated to me how to wear stripes effectively and I've been breaking them out way more often! Love how you've accessorized, perfect outfit for a cold winter day. Yesterday was our coldest day of winter too, ugh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dressing-for-the-cold#post-835991 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:58:27 +0000 ManidipaM 835991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Semi-tuck to the top! It has just that extra bit of sass.</p> <p>Loving the texture that the accessories --- and your hair! --- add to the simple, modern, graphic effect of the jeans and sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dressing-for-the-cold#post-835985 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:54:33 +0000 Isabel 835985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, semi tuck.

I should try something like this (but I would have to find some BF jeans first). I like the semi tuck version best. I think you look very warm and comfortable for such a cold day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dressing-for-the-cold#post-835936 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:16:38 +0000 Jjsloane 835936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm still a sucker for semi -tuck (sporting it myself today too), but both look good.

Perfect winter outfit, I really like it.

So comfort and warmth are paramount in today's outfit.</p> <p>I started with this loose turtleneck striped sweater in cream and black, paired with my slouchy skinny jeans and a simple black belt with gunmetal buckle. For indoor footwear, I'll be wearing my python booties. For some additional texture and shine, I'm using my patent croc leather handbag with the big gunmetal clasp.</p> <p>I have a question - is the outfit better with the sweater partially tucked (pics 1 and 2) or untucked (pic 3)?</p> <p>BTW - when I step outside I will be wearing my jeans tucked into my Sorel boots, have on my knee length LE down coat, wooly scarf and wooly Thinsulate mitts.</p> <p>What do you think? Does this work together? How are the proportions? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Sweater: Pria (thrifted)<br /> Jeans: River Canyon Blues<br /> Belt: Danier Leather<br /> Boots: Sam Edelman<br /> Handbag: Danier Leather (thrifted) </p>
