Cold Weather

Well, yesterday here is Chicago, it was 78 degrees.  It was such a beautiful day.  And it was sunny for most of the day.  Then around 6pm the weather turned ugly.  The temperatures dropped, the clouds came in, and the rain started coming down in buckets.  When I dropped off my daughter at dance class at 5:30pm, it was 75 degrees.  When I picked her up at 7:15pm, it was 55 degrees.  Then when we woke up this morning at 7:15am, it was 37 degrees.  Yikes!!!  I guess the cold weather is here and staying for awhile.

My outfit for today was completely opposite from yesterday.  The rolled up jeans, the short sleeve top, the ballet flats are gone.  Today, it was full length skinny jeans, knee high boots, and a warm and chunky long cardigan sweater.  But at least the sun was out today.

I guess here in the Midwest, it's definitely time to change our way of dressing.  For the next week, the temperatures will reach only up into the high 40's.  So, what can we wear now?

My suggestions are as follows: chunky sweaters or chunky long cardigans, long sleeve tops, jeans, ankle boots or knee high boots, a fun scarf, a cool hat.

What you don't need now and what can wait til the temps go down further:  heavy down jackets, snow boots, ski wear, insulated gloves.

You don't want to layer up too much because you might be sweating when you're indoors.  Your fall coat or jacket will work fine.  But add a fun scarf, a scarf that you wouldn't wear during a blizzard.

And honestly, please put away those flip flops.  Unless you are getting a pedicure, they need to go bye bye.

Enjoy your day!
