Layers

Still.So.Cold.
I was not made for winter, not at all. The last few days I've lived in jeans and jumpers which is most unlike me, and by today I had had enough of it and dug around for layers suitable for under dresses. Most of my dresses aren't suitable for winter dressing anymore, no longer loose enough to fit tops under, but...well, I'd rather have them snug than be how I was.

To make tights more weather proof, I added some fabulous leg warmers from Tabio

(sorry the photos are pretty rubbish, I was rushing)

I'm off Christmas shopping with the parents today and I'm hoping this outfit will keep me warm enough.
If it get any colder, I don't know how I'll manage...wear my Slanket in public I guess!

Lovely outfit and I love your attitude it's so good to see :)

I went out last night and I had this issue since I wanted to wear a pretty dress and it was freezing! 2pairs of tights and hat, gloves and scarf definitely helped :)

Amazing legwarmers- hope they're keeping you snug. I'm planning on following your ginger cake recipe later today, fingers crossed it turns out as good as yours looked!x

Brilliant legwarmers - I hate the cold too, have you got snow there? It's driving me mad! x

pixelhazard said...

snug as a bug in a rug, lol. I've been waking up feeling lethargic and dehydrated from the heat.

Yay christmas shopping.

I'm rubbish at dressing for winter, the other day my tutor asked me if I was under the impression that it was summer outside. She thinks she's hilarious, but getting dressed that morning, I actually was under that impression. It snowed later that day.

Oh my gosh, hubby and I say every winter that we need to move somewhere warmer. I am definitely not made for cold weather!

Sahakiel said...

On the contrary, I was made for winter! I love cold weather, and use layers of clothes, and boots and all those stuff! I think the point is getting used to it...

Anyway, you look pretty!

Style of a Fashionista said...

I think you could rock a slanket in public with the right accessories lol. I think I am strange as I am loving this below freezing weather.

Love those legwarmers and a fabulous winter outfit, Have fun shopping I am going to start mine this week xoxo

The Dandizette said...

Wearing legwarmers with boots is such a good idea. I'm really bad at layering, so really just stick to jeans and hoodies in the winter. I need to be more adventurous.

Alice said...

I love the tights and legwarmers. Anything to keep warm, I've been sporting wellies all weekend- oh the glamour! xx

Love your winter dressing, I've been wearing ridiculous amounts of layers too. I thought living in NYC for a bit would've helped, but I'm still as unaccustomed to the cold as always. Those leg warmers are so cute!

beingdena said...

Sweets I'm just like you- not made out for this cold. It's horrible...surely it wasn't like this last year. Love your leg warmers.
