what to wear when it's 10 degrees.

{Hat: Similar | Scarf: Similar | Jacket: Similar | Boots: Hunter}




Usually when the thermometer reads 10 degrees, you don't leave your home or your pjs for that matter. However, if you have a style blog and need a photo, you don't really have much of choice, but to go outside and freeze. Since I am not willing to get frostbite for you guys, this "outfit" features outerwear. 

And let me tell you I have spent years trying to perfect my outerwear look. I want to look cute but be warm. This is harder than one would think. I tried wearing cute coats that weren't warm enough but let's be honest I am too old for that now. I tried coordinating every last detail from my hat to my boots but every piece just wasn't functional. Now I kinda go for a more eclectic look. And I like that my winter-wear has COLOR. If I have to wear a big black parka, then gosh darn it I might as well pair some bright cherry red boots with it. Now hats. Man hats are tricky. I have found that larger hats that have a looser fit are better than tighter, small ones. They have a bit more personality. And if they have a furry pom-pom on top well then all the better.

I'm sure this post isn't super helpful to those of you in warmer climates. Other than to assure you, that you have indeed made the better choice. Maybe you could just let me come visit you and we could call it even? Sounds fair to me.

Linking up with The Pleated Poppy and the ladies below.

  5. Red. Hunters. I'm obsessed! Those are such great boots. I love my black ones, but now I'm thinking I really need a color and your fire engine red ones really sent me over the edge! :-)

  6. I went to the grocery store last night but waited for my husband to get home from work so I didn't have to bundle up my little guy and deal with taking him in and out of the car. You seriously could not see my face behind my jacket, two scarves and puffy coat with a big collar that is like a half hood. Brrrrr!

  7. You will not see any outfit posts from me until it warms up. No freakin' way. I mean it's so cold I can't think straight. I got into work and I go home... that's the extent of my time outside.
