The weather in Chicago has been bizarre in the last year. First we had a mild winter--so mild it didn't kill all of the critters, hence the bug party these days--and that was followed by a drought-y, parched summer on the surface of the sun. Very unusual for here. And it also makes me think we're going to be in for a doozie of a winter, because that's how Mother Nature likes to roll. It hasn't been too cold yet, but I know it's coming.
I should prepare:
I already have a gray coat that I love, but just in case anybody else is in the market, I found one for you. And it even has a hood! ($158) A bright red scarf would be nice for brightening up my dark winter wardrobe. ($20) Boot slippers are a must. I tossed my old pair when we moved, so it's time to replenish. ($38) Hello there, striped cardigan. I have a shirt very similar to you, but want to buy you anyway. ($22) Camel boots are another favorite for their amazing versatility. They're the ultimate neutral. ($60) And mittens! I have gloves, but when it's really cold I prefer keeping my fingers grouped together for warmth. These would go with that cute red scarf, too. ($35)
Is it getting chilly where you are? Have you stocked up on winter wear? What's your fave?

Love the slipper boots and cardigan! I hope Mother Nature isn't too brutal to us this winter!
ReplyDeleteOh, I want it all! Especially the cardigan and the mittens!! I heard it's going to be a very snowy winter for us, which really doesn't sound like much fun. Snow is nice, but not when it keeps getting piled on!
ReplyDeleteI like the camel colored boots. They go with everything. It's not cold here yet. But I do need to spend some time looking over my Winter wardrobe. TFS!
ReplyDeleteThose red mittens are adorable. I'm crossing my fingers (hard) for another winter like last year!
ReplyDeleteI've got a grey coat with hood almost like that! Love the mittens!
ReplyDeleteOver here we are expecting a very cold winter this year :-/
Those mittens are the cutest! :)
ReplyDeleteNice affordable list! I ADORE that color palette, those boot slippers & coat! So cute!

ReplyDeleteLove the coat! I would love to get a longer one this year- I'm also preparing for the worst this winter! Who knows...
ReplyDeleteI love Chicago but I definitely don't miss the cold nights waiting for the bus or waiting for the car to heat up. I love the boots. Definitely going to check them out.

Nice collection! I love the red scarf. I hope it's not too bad this winter, last winter kind of spoiled me.
