But I live in Canada. Your results will clearly vary!
Thanks, Leon! And of course, thank you Budget Babe!
My current obsession is COATS. There are so many gorgeous, affordable ones out there. My favorite combo is the gray military-esque Tahari coat I found at Marshalls at the end of last winter. I match it with a slouchy plum colored knit hat and a white [faux] pashmina haha and some leather gloves (I drive, it's a necessity).
Don't forget the boots, probably flat boots if you're running to catch the bus or train...it's icy here in the land of 10,000 frozen lakes!
outside. Like most of the rest of the posters,
I use layers. Ugly layers, but warm.
buy some coats and scrafs during after Xmas sale.
At home, we keep fire place on..

Indoors, I often don a soft, long sleeve sweater and invisibly layer with knee high socks.
I'm sure this shawl goes much further in keeping you warm, simply because it has more material than the traditional scarf.
I like to layer and I like to wear different scarves etc. as I find they give you a fresh look and definitely a colour boost!
Thanks
In Baltimore, it can get pretty bitterly cold and wet--nothing like something soft and warm to take the edge off.

Now it's more for comfort and warmth
and this shawl would help living in the Rocky mts.
When I head out, the scarf, the hat, the earmuffs, and the gloves all peek out from underneath a puffy yet warm coat, generally with faux fur lining on the hood. And of course, can't forget to put on those boots over the jeans (I like mine to measure up to the mid-calves).
=) how I'd love to give my mom a pashmina shawl for the holidays!
Thanks for a great prize!
thanx
With layering clothes, I can just peel one off at a time when it warms up.
These are great looking scarfs and I know one of these beauties would keep me warm.
some days when it"s too cold,i go for a peacoat with boot cut jeans and a good set of woollen scarf and gloves.
It looks like an Irish color to me
Thanks and good luck to all.
cashmere gloves and scarf.
under my clothes,down coat,scarfs,
wool socks,a beanie and boots.I
like to stay warm.Cashmere is very
warm.Please enter me and thanks
I also layer - I do have plenty of beautiful
sweaters to wear. And warm coats and plenty
of gloves and scarves
.
Question-- I am 5'2" and have been trying to look for a chic black pea coat at an affordable price... you think it would be easy, but it's not. I can't rock a trench, and I'm not a fan of very short pea coats (the 23" and longer range is preferred). Any suggestions?
PS-However you dress for winter, stay warm!!
I read the BudgetBabe regularly and enjoy all the posts and comments. Keep up the good work!
I can just picture my redheaded daughter in this lovely green shawl - sure hope I win it!
