When it’s the beginning of February and temperatures are reaching mid-40’s, most Iowans couldn’t be happier. Especially when the snow is nonexistent.
But I’m quite the opposite. I really love winter and my heart breaks when the snowfall is at a record low. The high temps and sunshine can visit, but at least give me some pretty white stuff to look at and play in. All I want for Valentine’s Day….
Blame it on my Northern ancestry – I’m quite comfortable in the brisk, cold air and inches feet of snow. And I feel most myself when bundled up in layers and boots, which is why I’m completely obsessed with this look. Perfectly comfortable, warm, dry and just cute enough to get by for many winter outings. You’ll find me wearing this combination (almost) daily in the winter months whether I’m grocery shopping or out for a relaxing dinner with family and friends. This Patagonia coat is the best thing to happen to me since dry shampoo and now that I have a pair of Sorel boots, I’m never wearing anything else.
You guys, I give you my word, these are the best.
Do you have favorite winter pieces?

Great look, perfect for this time of year!
Thank you! It keeps me warm at least!
Oh yes those are like two of the best winter/cold weather brands hands down! Unfortunately I own neither lol sigh. I got my sister a pair of those sorel boots and she raves about them all the time….and now I’m feeling like I should’ve asked for some too haha next year for sure! Love the color you chose for your patagonia jacket, it suits you well!!!

Thank you! That is seriously crazy… we were experiencing above 40 this weekend, but now it’s dipping again. Enjoy your sunshine! 🙂
The turtle neck looks awesome with the Patagonia!
Thanks so much! It’s so warm!
I absolutely love this post! Not enough bloggers post about how to dress for cold weather. That jacket is such a great color and length!

Thank you!! I love the length, too. It really does keep you even more warm. And I agree – a lot of what’s out there is so impractical for our Midwest winter!
Love the length and color of that Patagonia!! So cute on you too 🙂
Thank you! The length really is nice – keeps you even warmer!
I am actually dying over how adorable that Patagonia jacket is. I have never seen one like that! Love everything about it.
Thank you!! It is seriously my favorite. So warm, and still cute enough to wear anywhere!
I run extremely cold so I actually wear a coat similar to yours as an extra layer under my ankle length parka.
I’m sure you stay super warm! That’s a good idea!
I love your outfit. ☺ Stay safe, gorg! ♥
