Mom Style Files: Cold Weather Cute

Cold Weather Cute

 

It’s snowing.

 

Large flakes that by morning will add up to seven inches or so the weather man says. I’ve lived in Iowa my whole life, this isn’t my first snowstorm, and dressing for winter weather is second nature to me. However, dressing stylish in winter…well, that’s a little different.

 

I have two winter coats.

 

My favorite, I’ve mentioned before, the vintage bright green pea coat from my Grandmother. Over the years it’s taken a beating and this year I finally had to retire it, until I can get the lining and the buttons mended.

In the meantime, I wore winter coat number two, A Columbia parka from my college days. You know the kind with a zip-out lining, so it’s two coats in one. It’s a fully functioning coat. However, it looks more at home on the ski slopes or a football stadium than the morning commute to work.

It was time for a new coat.

 

My cold-weather uniform needed an update.

 

I’m sure we’ve all said, “It’s about being warm, not necessarily looking stylish.” But seriously, shouldn’t we be able to have both.

 

A girl should be able to look adorable no matter what the temperature, or if she has hat hair.

 

This month’s Mom Style Files, Cold Weather Cute, will help you {and me} find adorable outwear that we’ll want to wear through summer.
