What nice warm thoughts to come home to after 2 hours out in the cold, thank you all!
I don't know how you snow bunnies do it -- I'm already layered in silk and wool from head to toe for 40/50 degrees, so these days in the 20s feel arctic!
I grant the snow boots are toasty and decently treaded, but I really found out the hard way I needed my slip-on Stabilicizers too. That smile in the photo was no where to be found when some black ice put me on my butt! Using heat on a few spots now, gearing up for icing....
Janet -- Thank you, blue fits my palette and mood these days; the T-neck looks great with my black pantsuit. Would look great on you. Sounds like you, me, and LaP have a joint goal, awesome.
Brooklyn -- Thanks much, please enjoy your warm temps for me! The piece in #4 is a button up shirtdress (you can see it open too) I tied up into a vest-y thing. I'd been in search of a bracelet like the one there for several years, found this for $25 when I wasn't looking and wear it all the time.
Angie, yes, sooooo cold for this part of the PNW. Glad you and Suz like the metallic sweater (an inexpensive consignment store find). I prefer it draped over a tank more than wool but...maybe in a few months.
CynthiaWalkerSmith -- You and me both (and thank you!). The top is a wool/silk blend and just drapes so well that I feel like a million bucks. [Don't tell the black merino one I said that.]
And LaP, glad you like the sweater dress. My perfectionist side is on the fence. The color is great and cheering and it's super-cozy but it's blouson and midi so kind of boxy when I'm actually standing up -- the full pic was too dark, but trust me. But see that goal of participating, ha!
Style Fan, good eye -- that is a scarf in #2. I fell in love with the fabric several years ago and have a crazy Peacock Feather tunic/dress I shared here back then. Had enough left over for the scarf.
Bonnie and Sarah F -- Thank you both! I feel I have to keep up with the YLFers who've gone grey -- the bar is high and I've been schlumping around, so decided I had to dust off my outfit-making skills once January rolled around!
ps to Suz -- you see my Style Statements haven't changed, what can I say? Minimalist Magpie, Contrarian Classicist, and Persnickety Bohemian are all still here.
