Baby it’s cold outside

Normally I eschew the admirably practical strategy of ‘dressing for the weather.’ I just can never seem to bear covering up an outfit with a yellow school-bus poncho or looking down and seeing duck boots on my feet. Two years ago, I assented and bought what I thought was a relatively stylish white puffy coat from Theory. I asked my sister for her take: “you look okay, just kind of the like the Michelin Man. Or maybe more like the gigantic marshmellow man from Ghostbusters.” Hmmm….

But recently I think I may have been converted by the amazing weather wear I’ve been seeing. For starters, I’m obsessed with the new raincoats from Mackage. Sleek, shiny, and they fold up into a tiny bag. I’m almost hoping it will rain… For umbrellas, I’m partial to these clear bubble offerings from Frankford. Very Lost-in-Translation-esque. Last but not least, my go-to winter footwear are these boots from Hunter. Classic wellies with fleece socks inside? Maybe my middle name is practical.
