You are looking fab in the snow. We just got a nice 4-6 inches today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-snow#post-516975 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 20:13:43 +0000 Kari 516975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, I'm sure you were not alone! Sorry to hear that you were under the weather though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-snow#post-516971 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 20:11:11 +0000 Jem 516971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Geez, you look so stylish, especially with the bad weather! I'm been mostly in sweats, etc, here. I'm glad you are ok after your fall! I hope your wrist heals quickly!! Cute snowmen, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-snow#post-516963 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 20:06:16 +0000 Amy 516963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, I'm glad you're all right after your fall! Yikes.</p> <p>Those look like perfectly cozy outfits to me. I was planning on wearing a skirt with boots to work this week, but ended up staying home due to illness and then everything just shut down around town, schools, etc.</p> <p>My husband is making fun of me because I haven't left our house since last week.</p> <p>Those snowmen photos are cute!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-snow#post-516962 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 20:05:15 +0000 Jjsloane 516962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great snow outfits and boots! I think I would be in tights and boots for work too or have to do the shoe change. We got a little snow (mostly ice yuck) last night. Nothing as pretty as yours, but I'm not complaining since around here they are crippled by the mention of snow. Thanks for sharing the photos and glad you were ultimately ok after the fall, that can be very scary and why I fear ice more than tons of snow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-snow#post-516927 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 19:40:02 +0000 Kari 516927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jane, I'm glad that I'm not the only one too. I know a lot of people might think it's silly to be commuting in a dress in snow, but I stayed plenty warm. Also, those rain boots, while stable, are a bit too small for my calves and I don't think I would be able to get my skinny jeans into them, whereas they work fine with thick tights.</p> <p>Rachylou, I'm just using plain, thin cotton socks from Costco over wool tights. Not very warm but I've noticed that my feet stay quite toasty once I've walked a block or two. I've heard that Smartwool socks are great when you need true warmth, though.</p> <p>Aida, they are actually just rain boots but have quite a bit of traction at the bottom - I snapped them up at DSW a couple years ago.<br /> I loved the fun snowmen next to me - I especially loved the one at the far right, which was in front of the local firehouse.</p> <p>I am doing okay after the fall. I actually twisted my left wrist quite badly and was a little worried on Monday that it might be sprained, but I kept it braced (I still have wrist supports from when I was having a lot of wrist pain a couple years ago) and by Thursday it was fine. Monday was the iciest day on the driveway for sure!</p> <p>MNsara, we do usually get snow a couple of times a year (as does Portland) but not in great quantities. Usually when it snows, in the area I live in, we get a dusting, maybe as much as an inch. This time, I think we had about 7 inches or so where I live, and other areas further to the north and south of me had well over a foot (like Olympia, where Diane lives.) It was actually kind of fun, in spite of the inconvenience, to really be submerged in winter weather for a while. However, the ice building up on trees really wreaked havoc - weak trees and branches fell, causing a lot of damage and power outages. (Some of my friends have been without power for more than a day.)</p> <p>Wow, Suz, that sounds immensely unusual! We don't get lightning here very often either.</p> <p>Enginemom, I wish I didn't have to go in to work either. My boyfriend B's office was closed most of the week; unfortunately since I work at the global headquarters for our company, we really don't get snow days - the office remains open unless something extremely catastrophic occurs that would damage the actual building. I tried to work from home on Monday but wasn't able to access most of the resources I needed to be productive. I'm glad that you were able to stay home! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-snow#post-516520 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 03:17:32 +0000 Ginny 516520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love your snow outfits!!!! you look great and toasty!!!! cute boots, what fun.snowmen!!!! it can be kind of refreshing how snow can make us all throttle back a tad, I think </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-snow#post-516372 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 00:22:21 +0000 Anonymous 516372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Its a mess out there today! Crunchy cement/snow combined with slushy puddles. Its hard to look good when you are dealing with this mess! I'm surprised you had to go in to work this week...maybe the only place open besides Starbucks? </p> <p>You do look super cute and I admire your bravery in this weather! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-snow#post-516365 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 00:14:24 +0000 diane 516365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you are VERY brave to go out. you looked great, and warm!!! the rubber(?) boots are fab!</p> <p>I live down near Olympia and we got slammed. I counted 12 inches. Now a mess of tree branches and whole trees taken down on our property. </p> <p>Needless to say I have not gone anywhere. Fortunately I work from home and don't have to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-snow#post-516347 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 23:47:20 +0000 Transcona Shannon 516347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your boots Kari - so cute and stylish! You look amazing in that Bailey 44 dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-snow#post-516311 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 22:49:50 +0000 Suz 516311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits, Kari. I actually love the rain boots! When the weather gets like this, it's time to bring out the sense of humour (which I know you have in abundance) and these boots signal exactly that! </p> <p>Cute snow pics, too! </p> <p>Last night we had a blizzard AND lightning here in Kingston, Ontario. I never thought I'd see that combination. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-snow#post-516304 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 22:45:07 +0000 Ana 516304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those look like chic, toasty outfits, Kari! Thanks for posting pictures of the snow. I know you guys are buried in it and it's creating a huge mess, but I can't help thinking it's just so pretty. I haven't seen snow in ages. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-snow#post-516298 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 22:39:44 +0000 MNsara 516298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brave girl! To get yourself to work and home on foot is incredible! </p> <p>Why did I think Seattle got snow regularly, but just didn't keep it very long? Sort of like Portland (they get some snow, right?) </p> <p>Your pics are beautiful and keeping your photographer's eye busy, appreciating the beauty. That's good for the soul </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-snow#post-516272 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 22:08:20 +0000 Meredith1953 516272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the outfits and LOVE the boots! Also the pics of Seattle in the snow are pretty! I lived in Seattle for 17 years before moving to Boise Idaho and still miss Seattle sometimes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-snow#post-516256 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 21:52:16 +0000 Angie 516256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab outfits, Kari! I love the rain boots! I've been in my 20 eyelet Docs all week. Sorry to hear that you fell :(. Hope that you're okay. </p> <p>The slushy affair has started. HUGE mess in Seattle. We have been on foot everywhere - no driving *at all*. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-snow#post-516253 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 21:51:01 +0000 Deborah 516253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, such great outfits for such incredible weather (where I live it never snows). I love your dress in #1... I have one very similar:) And I love the boots, practical but stylish.<br /> So sorry that you had a fall, hope you are doing ok. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-snow#post-516252 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 21:50:42 +0000 Aida 516252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute snowy outfits Kari!

If it were me, I"m sure I'd just be in full on ski gear or something (I'm a wuss for the cold). I even like your white boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-snow#post-516211 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 21:02:34 +0000 Vicki 516211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, I love your snowy pictorial and you look so stylish in the snow with you cute boots, hat, etc. This takes me back to my days in snowy Cleveland. So pretty and we don't get that here in So. Cal. You rock the snow and please watch every little sweet step of yours, Kari. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-snow#post-516210 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:59:16 +0000 Jo B 516210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your striped dress and also the photos! I am a Seattle girl too, and wasn't brave enough to venture out (worked from home all week in Yoga pants). You pulled it together well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-snow#post-516209 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:57:18 +0000 DragonflyJane 516209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfits Kari - you're a real inspiration.<br /> I'm glad I'm not the only one who will still wear a dress in the snow &amp; just swops the footwear!<br /> The photos of the snow &amp; ice are beautiful - doesn't it look gorgeous when you're wrapped up toasty &amp; warm inside! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-snow#post-516205 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:52:28 +0000 Kari 516205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those of you outside the Pacific Northwest will have to bear with me - another Seattlite posting about the greater-than-normal snowfall this week. I have not been brave enough to take my car down my windy, steep driveway for a week so I've been commuting exclusively on foot. Speaking of footwear, mine has been decidedly un-fab: white rubber snow boots with an elaborate black floral print, though sometimes I've slipped into black leather ballet flats at work.</p> <p>On Monday I stayed home after slipping and falling trying to walk down my driveway, and Tuesday I didn't have time to take a pic, but the photos in #1 are pretty representative of what I've been wearing to work: sweater dress, thick tights, boots, scarf, wool hat.</p> <p>It's been actually kind of fun to commute exclusively on foot, in spite of the challenges I had today in trudging through up to 6 inches of slush. I've been snapping photos of my city with my iPhone left and right (#2), including photos of cute dsnowmen (#3.) in spite of the hassle it's been kind of magical. </p>
