It was tough to stick to two bags on this trip because I kept on imagining all kinds of fun outfit concoctions for the cold, snowy days (aside from all the sweats and t's for luxurious tv-filled afternoons on the couch. ha!) we don't experience in SoCal. As wonderful as warm weather can be, it kinda hinders the true essence of the winter wardrobe. So today I got a hint of the crazy and strolled out into a winter wonderland...in shorts, tights and shag. I kinda wanna wear this one every day.
The first 10 minutes in freezing cold are always the easiest.
Especially if you're wearing something resembling a bath mat or '70's carpet.

Bringing a bit of the snow leopard.
Delusion sets in as the cold goes to my head...this is not the house.
Busting through drifts I make it back to the sidewalk...
With this grin frozen, quite literally, onto my face.
It was around this time the camera began to fog up from the temps.
Time for more chocolates and cookies!

LOVE this outfit!!! xx
i cant believe a socal girl even owns a top that furry! you are too cute!
First of all, that shag is just off the charts amazing and just so apropos for where you are right now! And can we just talk about your one foot buried in the snow?! Brrrrr....
you are very brave. i can't imagine....although- if I looked that good I would want to wear the exact same thing.... But brrrrr.
Dawn where are you up here (just generally)?
I LOVE your blue tights and fur jacket!
It reminds me of something that Carrie Bradshaw would wear! :)

Woohoo...I'm just south of you then....probably about an hour. (I live just east of Red Deer on an acreage!) How cool is that....we is close;)
See me wave?:)))
Hahaha, welcome to my LIFE! That last picture totally sums up what blogging is like during Canadian winters... clenched fists, and a smile that can't hide how cold it is! You look adorable though, and I can imagine that it would be fun to play with cold weather attire when you don't experience it! Too cute!
Dawn I'm waving back at ya!! The next time I visit my bro in Calgary I'll let you know and maybe we can grab tea/coffee or something!
Kate - I was totally thinking of you today. I have to say I'll be sad to leave for a lot of reasons - one superficial reason is great places for outfit pics!!!
xoxo,
Carrie
yes...do! I would meet you for sure.
(This far in advance will give me time to find something to wear...I'd be meeting the fashion goddess after all!!!!):)
Enjoy the rest of your visit!
hehe. deal! (i'll hold you to the sweats thing though;)
:)
Your jacket = pure amazingness. You look awesome. And welcome back to good ol' Canada! Sadly we're not getting a taste of the winter here on the west coast, as per usual. wah wahhh. Send some snow my way! Happy New Year love :)

Wow, how stylish do you look with that jacket! I love it but could never pull it off. It looks so pretty juxtaposed against the cobalt blue tights!
Happy New Yaar!

If there's one thing I'd love about a true winter it would be the outfit possibilities. You look great!
You try to slow down in 2011 and I'll try to take deep breaths and enjoy it. Deal?
How do you manage to make anything look cute!!
I always feel like the snow makes every picture a hundred times better! It's just so pretty. Gorgeous outfit, I actually love the bright blue tights against the white of the coat.

Oh my goodness, A- you look super cute and B- I am pretty sure I would have died, frozen in place, if I attempted that outfit in that kind of snow! You are too funny! Love it! ;)
You look fabulous!
damn you are a brave girl! :) and you look fantastic!
You're the most fashionable & brave snow bunny I've ever laid eyes on, sweetie! Hope you had a wonderful xmas & happy new year! xoxoxo
My goodness you look FABULOUS.
You and winter snow were made for each other. You are glowing. bright blue tights are the essence of cool, the furry coat is awesome and so are the gloves you won!
Carrie, you look SO cute and so cold. I absolutely love that jacket. And the blue tights are the perfect addition to the white coat. I agree that the first 10 minutes in the cold are easiest and then I start to lose my marbles. Thank goodness for hot chocolate and warm cocktails!
