This is a picture of me when I first got home from work on Friday. It was a very, very burry cold day outside with the high temperature of just 7 degrees! It was -10 when I left in the morning! Even though that is very cold, I was comfortable. The secret is to bundle up and dress for the weather.
Here are my bundling tips:
1. Wear lots of layers, a warm hat, a coat that covers your hips (not just a short jacket), boots, and leg warmers.
2. If you lose some weight, don't get rid of all those big clothes. Save some to wear over layers during those real cold days.
For example, here is the list of what I wore today:
- Long silk L.L. Bean underwear which adds warmth without any bulk;
- Corduroy pants;
- wool L.L. Bean socks;
- Turtleneck top--again, it's light weight but adds some warmth ;
- One of my warmest sweaters over the turtleneck so if I get too warm at work, I can remove the sweater;
- A wool blazer over the sweater which I could remove at work or wear over just the turtleneck without the sweater;
- Quilted lined flannel shirt that I took off at work;
- bomber hat from L.L. Bean which is very warm, better than a knit tousle cap!
- Leg warmers that covered my knees;
- Parka winter coat with hood from L.L. Bean; and
- Boots
- Scarf
Oops, I goofed. There's was an error in the title of this video so I redid it. Who will be the first to spot it?
Can you tell I like L.L. Bean? This is NOT a paid post. I really like their merchandise.
