Tip from Minnesota, USA where we have EXTREME cold weather-when it's below zero and windy, wearing a pair of sunglasses helps your eyes not water and saves your eye makeup!
I'm in Finland in the beginning of January thinking "that's not dressing for the cold". 😅 Here, where the temperatures drop quite often below -20 Celcius (that's -4 Fahrenheit), you showed how you could dress on the warmest days at the moment. Still, you did manage to give me some ideas, so well done! 😄👍 I've noticed the materials and overall quality is very important in winter clothes, like now I have a great looking, quite thin but super warm jacket from a Finnish brand Luhta. They're expensive but I got it on sale. I love it. And having enough looseness in your outfit helps keeping warm, you need air between layers. And wool has space for air which makes it warm also. Leave out cotton socks and wear a couple of woollen ones on top of each other. Try it!
I live in Canada. We have very cold weather. Being fashionable is still possible! I love the winter season and love my scarves and hats. Boots can be practical and stylish too. I agree that colour, patterns, and textures make a difference. Thank you for styling for the winter!
Hey guys!! Here's a video sharing my tips on how to look stylish in cold weather. What is your No.1 tip for staying warm and looking stylish at the same time? Thumbs up if this video helped!!
hi Karen, good tips THX U, I have 2 for everybody, 1 / I just discover jeans with faux fur inside, OMG very warm, I find its on Chinese site, I think U can find it on amazon cheap, comfy, warm, good but be careful, take a size up cos' Chinese people are more petite 2 / and of course under a jumper, a shirt everything a Damart it's an old french brand, it's thermo, beautiful ? noooo, but the best ? yes, I try uniclo thermo, but not warm as a Damart. believe me it's not cos' I'm French that I say it, cos' for something not nice it's expensive, personnaly I prefer men section send hugs :-)
Hey Karen, As always thx for the winter style tips. Gosh knows with the bitter Jan/Feb weather around the corner for us in NYC metro area, a few chic accessories will make the unpleasant weather conditions a little bit easier to tolerate. That said, on my wish list, bottle green leather gloves, cashmere scarf and a chic hat to shield the Mr. Freeze away. Anyways, enjoy your holiday. We'll see you soon in your next video xo
Thanks for the ideas... It's enlighting..... I am in Sweden n its coldddd.... I always use two scarfs mostly in pops of colours contrast to my outfits... Or scarfs with prints like chequred or some prints used it with plain colour n used it... It uplift the whole outfit...
I've found fleece lined leggings....so cozy! They also had some nice patterned versions. Look amazing with an oversize sweater and over the knee boots.
i’ve never worn jeans against my legs in the winter. there’s always another layer under there. if you live in an urban environment that gets cold (like me in Chicago), you don’t f@&$ around with the cold. i also wear a quilted vest under my wool camel coat and tuck my hair in under a blanket scarf. it takes years of practice to get this down, but once you do, it’s life-changing.
Yeah me too 🙂👍👍I always were a vest to keep your core warm and I wear ski pants different colors. I also live in Chicago too and our winters here are brutal😉
When I visit my niece in Oregon I wear fleece lined tights. Super warm and cozy. Doubled as my thermals under my jeans in the mountains. I also wore smart wool socks, thin but warm and doesn’t add bulk under your boots.
A colorful head wrap for the natural sisters who are looking to keep warm but a wool hat is a no go, layered over a silk scarf underneath. Pop of unexpected color, keeps your head warm and is usually very unexpected plus protects your tresses from the cold and the wind.
I've been watching your videos for quite a while now and I suddenly have the urge (one might say because of the holiday season approaching) to express a huge thank you. You gave amazing style advice at a time I needed them the most. Being dressed nicely instantly changes your mood and makes you ready to tackle life's difficulties.People like you deserve all love and happiness. Thank you.❤❤❤❤
My all time favorite... dancer warm-ups over jeans. They are long, mid thigh, soft sweater knit, in gorgeous colors. You can push them down to mid calf, ankle, etc, or wear them thigh length... Dramatic and gorgeous! Warm, warm, warm!!!
You outdid yourself with your advice in this video, Karen 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 You just keep getting better and better! You’ll be hitting 200K followers in no time.... just remember us early subscribers when you’re at the top lol 😘😘😘
KarenBritChick Mark my words, girl! I had foot surgery 10 days ago and am very much enjoying catching up on RUclips. Your vids have been such a highlight 👍🏼✨
Your hair is a GORGEOUS with your with that taupe-fawn turtleneck and the man-tailored toppers! I showed a picture of you to one of my young salon clients (a 7-year-old Ethiopian girl). I wanted to show her all of the style versatility she could have with her beautiful soft coils in a shorter cut when she gets a little older. She got excited, and I told her I also continue to get inspired by other women who figure out their beauty we can both be as stylish as Karen Brit Chick as long as we work out shapes and colors! We had a blast looking at your video stills 😘
Karen!! i found fleece lined tights which changed my life. i can wear skirts in peace on most winter days. also wear them under jeans for an invincible warm feel! found mine at burlington coat factory. its like a tjmax/marshalls dept store. not sure what the equivalent in UK is tho.
Thank you for doing this video. These are great tips. I feel like this particular issue is always overlooked in the fashion/blogging world but such a vital one to cover. Every winter I scour the internet to find ways to be stylish and warm when temps drop to frigid levels to no avail until now. I will be rewatching this video multiple times to make sure I get all of your great tips as well as to study all of the amazing looks included.
This was so Timely I live in Michigan. Black gray and brown have been my go-to from September to about March .Every now and then I would add a touch of a color, but you have inspired me to step out of that pattern. I want to say I also am enjoying the quick looks the music towards the end with written comments it's just making your videos even more enjoyable. You have so much talent and Style thank you Karen
Layering too jackets is the best tip ever, specifically for me. I'm a portuguese who lives in England, but i'm not so thrilled about this cold weather... Thanks for sharing tips. Love your channel!!!
Thank you for these tips!*** I feel that one of the most frustrating things about Winter weather is dressing stylishly while staying warm. It's usually ugly compared to dressing in warmer weather. Bonus reason why this is a great video: my amazing husband has accepted a new job, so he, our Beagley boys and I are relocating to SE Michigan from NE Ohio in January 2020! 😊❤ Perfect timing for this video! *** I just realized this was from two years ago! Still applicable...that's a great video!***
Yes!! It's Tuesday!! 🙌🏼 Such a great video!! I love that you were so brave with colors and textures and styles… I feel like so inspired to go out there and look fab in the New York City cold now!
Raised in Wisconsin living in Colorado: 2 pairs socks peds and knee high knit socks; tights under pants; wife beater tank under a thermal long sleeve tee on before wearing publicly seen tops; thin liner gloves under warm mittens; thin jacket or blazer under long coat. Hey, anyone else imaging outfits in your closet while Karen talks about combinations? Fun isn’t it?
You touched on my no. 1 tip. Wear a long skirt, layered with a legging or any thin knit pant and a taller boot. When the wind blows it blocks the cold air from going through your legs and it creates an insulated triangle of sorts on your lower half. I also have a long down parka coat in a pretty color reserved for the coldest of days. Thanks for the tips Karen. I was pondering layering my denim with my wool coat but wasn't sure if it would work.
Watching this in the heat of summer in Australia and I’m still inspired, that’s the power of Karen! Seriously though, I honestly didn’t know how you northern hemisphere folk deal with the cold - I’ll definitely keep theses tips in mind next time I travel to a freezing destination.
i love this video! so excited to incorporate these ideas, especially adding more color combos to my wardrobe. i really appreciate your energetic passion for style. thank you!
Fleece lined tights are really warm. I wear leggings under wide leg cropped pants. Also I have a vintage fox stole that I wear over coats and it looks like it is part of the coat. I wear Zara sweatshirts with fur sleeves under a long vest. Also I have long faux fur vest and wear it over coats
Yes, you can do three layers easily besides doubling up your tights. Tights, leggings, jeans, and then I'll add the skirt on top of that. Love that suggestion and the moto jacket UNDERNEATH the wool coat, Karen. Thank you!
Amalie de Fine Licht So what do you wear?I lived in Nederland,and that wet coldness goes through your bones!I love the wool,though.The US sells way too much synthetic sweaters.Yuck!
fleece lined leggings saved my life when I lived in Vermont. i really liked the idea of layering jackets because i would have *never* thought of that. your tips are always so simple + so amazing! no need for these tips here in saint lucia now lol but i'm definitely going to be bookmarking this for the next time i travel to the US in winter.
Great useful ideas Karen! Love your videos! Since watching your videos I have gone through my closet and drawers and purged all the stuff that doesn't fit, etc. I had eight full bags and I mean full.. LOL! I have gotten organized and now really think about the things I want to buy. Thanks!
Ok I’m really going to try to not look like a bag lady this winter despite my annual January shock/horror/pissed off that I wasn’t born into royalty and/or in Barbados. I will challenge Canada’s cruel and bitter winds in a bottle green faux fur and maybe some of those snappy purple boots. Then I’ll buzz off to Barbados in February. ❤️
Deanne Lanoue, fellow Canadian, oh how I hear ya! Never you mind...we'll brave the Canadian winter together in fashion spirit! At least you get to buzz off to Barbados...imma tough it out this winter. Pray for me, girl. Lol!
I also avoid wearing a black coat in the winter it just so depressing lol! Also Uniqlo is the best for getting long sleeves, turtle necks and leggings that are thermals. They also do thermal tights too!
Hi Karen. Love your videos... If you can, please, I'd like u to give tips on traveling in extreme winter time with a basic and minimalist wardrobe and not being so dull and boring... How can we add style, colour, trends with just a few pieces, same coat, jeans etc. Thank you for your ideas! Cheers🌲
Here in California it's way to hot most of the year for even a Jacket. However when it's winter and a frigid 60° at night. These tips are gunna be mad handy. Thanks Karen😗
You look good in everything you paired with your top... But when you put on that nude coat, you literally lit my screen up!!! Greetings from Northern New Jersey. ❤️
Cashmere or thinsulate lined gloves in a bright color, layer fitted thermal underwear under tops and trousers with tights which increase your warmth without the bulk under your outfits.
These are great tips!! ❤️I do get lazy when its cold and need some style prompts!! I loooved that Mongolian fur stole and the jeans under that skirt!! 😍😍😍
2nd time watching this video...now February 29th, 2020...cold Winter weather in SE Michigan. Thanks for these great ideas to look stylish and stay warm. 😊❄⛄🌞☃️❤
Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have given me priceless information. Love jewel tone everything, makes my natural silver hair rock. You are amazing!
OK mommy!!! Lol I love your doo It looks happy! 😍 And those brown tones you’re sporting today are always gorgeous on you Did I ever tell you that brown is one of my favorite colors ? Thanks Karen.
Hi Karen, love all of your videos they have all been very informative and have helped me have confidence in getting out of the all black color box my closet is a sea of black I started with changing slowly with shoe's, boots and handbags slowly I will incorporate the tops thanks Karen merry Christmas and a blessed new year 🎄🎉
OMG I am SO glad I moved from Chicago to Raleigh! I used to have to wear 5 layers of clothing just to commute to work! It's hard to be fashionable when the wind chill factor is 72 degrees below zero!!!
🤚Me! I’m the one who layers three pair of tights and or leggings! I used to always be hot, one of those walking around with no gloves, hats, no socks or tights etc... All of a sudden in my 40’s I’m the total opposite. Go numb, always cold. I layer like mad! I found some great footless tights on Amazon last year that are the best - the inside is kind of furry! They’re the warmest ever, need to see if they come in other colours. I’m a big fan of the fleece tights/ footless tights (layered of course!) as well as OTK boots for warmth. Jeans, layered leggings under skirts with knee boots. Honestly I look like I’m dressed for the arctic soon as the temp drops! I do find sunglasses help, not so much for warmth, but keeping the blustery wind out of your eyes (especially as I’m a contacts wearer). Fab tips as usual... if I could just lose these last 10-15 lbs I’d have more choice of all my fab warm coats! Have a lovely Yuletide season in St. Lucia! 😘💞🦇⚡️Jet
Layers is definitely key and yes sunglasses are more like I said for wind buffering plus they look good too so two for one : ) Ahhh that extra 10 pounds that every woman wishes she could get rid of..... I know the feeling.
KarenBritChick - I love 2fers!Most women of average size can usually fit their clothes if they gain 10 lbs. My prob is being so tiny it takes less than 5 lbs to go up one size🤨 so I’m curently 2-3 sizes away from fitting so much! Because I have to layer so much I’m getting really frustrated with my gorgeous coats. The only ones I can wear with layers are my vintage capes or furs. Oh look at you you, so tiny! (I know we all have things we don’t feel good about our bodies, so apologies, I don’t mean to downplay or hurt you for any flaws you might perceive.) 😘💖🦇⚡️Jet
Oops forgot to mention, I damaged my cornea badly a few years ago, left me more sensitive to light than my usual nocturnal echolocation (I’m a bat!) sunglasses are a must even when most wouldn’t need them. Polarised the best!🎄J.
Hello, Lady Karen! You're stunning and on point as usual! As you know, I live in Beijing now and everytime I go to the underground shopping mall in my part of the city, I pass a store that has the thickest tights I've ever seen. Thanks to you and this video, I'm going to buy them and try them on. They look and feel so snuggly. The girls that I've seen wear them look so chic.
Thank you for realistic, warm and stylish looks for the winter! Your videos are becoming some of my favorite to watch on RUclips. I saved it to my favorites. :)
Oops, I got so excited about all the new color combos I responded before thinking it through..... I do remember the mixing prints vid. I love your "where did u get that" blog and KarenBritChick youtube channel. I have entire notes section on my phone of your suggestions. Thanks for all your videos, blogs and instagram posts. All the Best ❤️
I legit paused this video then downloaded a memo/note taking app to take notes. Lol
...taking notes too
That’s awesome. I so enjoy Karens vids whether applicable (i live in az) or not.
Jace smith me too!!👍😘
What app?? :)
Jace, I did too!! ❤️

Merino wool or silk thermal underwear under everything, complete with Merino wool socks.
I've found fleece lined leggings....so cozy! They also had some nice patterned versions. Look amazing with an oversize sweater and over the knee boots.
i’ve never worn jeans against my legs in the winter. there’s always another layer under there. if you live in an urban environment that gets cold (like me in Chicago), you don’t f@&$ around with the cold. i also wear a quilted vest under my wool camel coat and tuck my hair in under a blanket scarf. it takes years of practice to get this down, but once you do, it’s life-changing.

Jami Schlafer same!
Yeah me too 🙂👍👍I always were a vest to keep your core warm and I wear ski pants different colors. I also live in Chicago too and our winters here are brutal😉
There are no other style inspirational videos like yours 😊💖
Mommy Is A Chef I agree!
Mommy Is A Chef yess
We're approaching winter of 2019 and I still love this video. It is still so relevant. I think it is my favorite britchick video ever

D R-K, you're speaking my language! Nothing but brilliant scarves & hats (toques, fedoras, even a cold-weather turban!)
fantastic tips!
Thanks Sis! ‘Preciate the tip.
You are my style savior Karen. I will be in New York for the entire winter and I am so happy you have created a video on actual "cold"!
I've been watching your videos for quite a while now and I suddenly have the urge (one might say because of the holiday season approaching) to express a huge thank you.

Being dressed nicely instantly changes your mood and makes you ready to tackle life's difficulties.People like you deserve all love and happiness. Thank you.❤❤❤❤
Thank you that is such a nice comment SK! and dressing how you like DOES alter your mood. It's real.
I am a big fan of wearing two jackets layered (preferably a coat over a blazer), and two scarves intertwined :) And crewnecks over turtlenecks.
My all time favorite... dancer warm-ups over jeans. They are long, mid thigh, soft sweater knit, in gorgeous colors. You can push them down to mid calf, ankle, etc, or wear them thigh length... Dramatic and gorgeous! Warm, warm, warm!!!

KarenBritChick Mark my words, girl! I had foot surgery 10 days ago and am very much enjoying catching up on RUclips. Your vids have been such a highlight 👍🏼✨
You look so beautiful in this video. That camel with your skin hair and eyes is incredible.
Your hair is a GORGEOUS with your with that taupe-fawn turtleneck and the man-tailored toppers! I showed a picture of you to one of my young salon clients (a 7-year-old Ethiopian girl).

Yes!! It's Tuesday!! 🙌🏼 Such a great video!! I love that you were so brave with colors and textures and styles… I feel like so inspired to go out there and look fab in the New York City cold now!
You have the coolest hair! I think the shorter cut is more flattering than the longer style. Thanks for the “cold weather” styling tips.
Karen, Im watching this video in November 2019 and I feel like your style has changed so much!!
That fur hack is the best!
the color combination notes work so well i did it and i'm never uninspired.
they really do!! It's like fail safe in most cases. They're a good base for us to use
I will be rewatching with my note pad. Your ideas are the BEST! xo
Raised in Wisconsin living in Colorado: 2 pairs socks peds and knee high knit socks; tights under pants; wife beater tank under a thermal long sleeve tee on before wearing publicly seen tops; thin liner gloves under warm mittens; thin jacket or blazer under long coat. Hey, anyone else imaging outfits in your closet while Karen talks about combinations? Fun isn’t it?
You look so nice and warm, lol. I actually love dressing for cold weather. I always cheat and wear thermal underwear.
You touched on my no. 1 tip. Wear a long skirt, layered with a legging or any thin knit pant and a taller boot. When the wind blows it blocks the cold air from going through your legs and it creates an insulated triangle of sorts on your lower half. I also have a long down parka coat in a pretty color reserved for the coldest of days. Thanks for the tips Karen. I was pondering layering my denim with my wool coat but wasn't sure if it would work.
Watching this in the heat of summer in Australia and I’m still inspired, that’s the power of Karen! Seriously though, I honestly didn’t know how you northern hemisphere folk deal with the cold - I’ll definitely keep theses tips in mind next time I travel to a freezing destination.
I'm loving the neck wear. And winter white is my favorite.
ONE OF YOUR BEST VIDEOS SO FAR! WATCHED IT 3 TIMES...YET!
wow glad it helped you!!!!
i love this video! so excited to incorporate these ideas, especially adding more color combos to my wardrobe. i really appreciate your energetic passion for style. thank you!
Fleece lined tights are really warm. I wear leggings under wide leg cropped pants. Also I have a vintage fox stole that I wear over coats and it looks like it is part of the coat. I wear Zara sweatshirts with fur sleeves under a long vest. Also I have long faux fur vest and wear it over coats
Yes, you can do three layers easily besides doubling up your tights. Tights, leggings, jeans, and then I'll add the skirt on top of that. Love that suggestion and the moto jacket UNDERNEATH the wool coat, Karen. Thank you!
THANK YOU ! Living in Denmark I can't weare anything you suggest 80 % off the time because it's too cold !
Amalie de Fine Licht So what do you wear?I lived in Nederland,and that wet coldness goes through your bones!I love the wool,though.The US sells way too much synthetic sweaters.Yuck!
fleece lined leggings saved my life when I lived in Vermont. i really liked the idea of layering jackets because i would have *never* thought of that. your tips are always so simple + so amazing! no need for these tips here in saint lucia now lol but i'm definitely going to be bookmarking this for the next time i travel to the US in winter.
We need a hair tutorial as well ! You're natural hair always looks bomb.
Thank you!
I like when you pop in a pic for us to get the visual of what you're describing. Good video
It's what I would want if watching someone elses video : )
Great useful ideas Karen! Love your videos! Since watching your videos I have gone through my closet and drawers and purged all the stuff that doesn't fit, etc. I had eight full bags and I mean full.. LOL! I have gotten organized and now really think about the things I want to buy. Thanks!
I know what eight bags of purge is like too LOLOLOL!!!!!
I love color schemes.You definitely put colors together.
Ok I’m really going to try to not look like a bag lady this winter despite my annual January shock/horror/pissed off that I wasn’t born into royalty and/or in Barbados. I will challenge Canada’s cruel and bitter winds in a bottle green faux fur and maybe some of those snappy purple boots. Then I’ll buzz off to Barbados in February. ❤️
Deanne Lanoue, fellow Canadian, oh how I hear ya! Never you mind...we'll brave the Canadian winter together in fashion spirit! At least you get to buzz off to Barbados...imma tough it out this winter. Pray for me, girl. Lol!
Disa Jardine I’ll think of you in a very fashion forward snow suit and wishing you a magic fairy to scrap your car every morning. 🧚🏻♂️
Deanne Lanoue, Lol! You're the best! I can see it now...
I also avoid wearing a black coat in the winter it just so depressing lol! Also Uniqlo is the best for getting long sleeves, turtle necks and leggings that are thermals. They also do thermal tights too!
CAY me too I avoid wearing black coat , the weather is already depressing
I just love your passion for the subject of style and how much you want to share it. Love it! Thank you !
Fab ideas Karen. Thank you. Your hair is looking great by the way. How about doing a video on hats and hair accessories. 🇬🇧💜
Another video saved!!! Thanks Karen....sometimes we get so relaxed wearing all black in NJ, NY good to shake it up a bit
I am obsessed with your channel and your tips!!!!! Trying to level up my clothing style thanks to your tips 😘👌
Oh, those faux fur stoles are SO easy to make! Off to fabric store tomorrow!
Even though it's 95 degrees here in south east Queensland, Australia, I still enjoyed seeing this!
Hi Karen, love the idea of trimming the hoody. Definitely going to try it.
Hi Karen. Love your videos... If you can, please, I'd like u to give tips on traveling in extreme winter time with a basic and minimalist wardrobe and not being so dull and boring... How can we add style, colour, trends with just a few pieces, same coat, jeans etc.
Thank you for your ideas! Cheers🌲
Pause...gone to grab a note pad! loving these ideas! keep em coming
Here in California it's way to hot most of the year for even a Jacket. However when it's winter and a frigid 60° at night. These tips are gunna be mad handy. Thanks Karen😗
You really are the Queen of Layering. I live in Michigan, and I thought I was! But you have given me even MORE layering ideas. Thank you! :)
Full video request on your color ideas.. so simple, but we are stuck on old ideas.. when show yourself dressed.... next level.
You look good in everything you paired with your top... But when you put on that nude coat, you literally lit my screen up!!! Greetings from Northern New Jersey. ❤️
I love your passion as you’re describing these outfits!! I’m like “YASSSS”! Have me super hyped to go to nyc in January with fashion!
Your hair looks so good. Luv it.
being juuuust north of you in Toronto, I 100% appreciate these tips, well done karen hope your trip is a good one!
I love how excited you get about fashion even if it's something that's not my style you make me feel like I want to wear it anyways 😄
I find that sunglasses do keep my face warm! They trap warm air and stop winds from going into my eyes.
Cashmere or thinsulate lined gloves in a bright color, layer fitted thermal underwear under tops and trousers with tights which increase your warmth without the bulk under your outfits.
Yes! My leather gloves keep my hands sooo warm and dry every winter. I have a pair of bright pink ones and another pair of navy ones.
I can not wait to try all these looks! SO GOOD
Woman! I bought the red H&M coat. Thanks for helping motivate me to not get schlumpy just because it's winter!!! Xxoo

Hi Karen, love all of your videos they have all been very informative and have helped me have confidence in getting out of the all black color box my closet is a sea of black I started with changing slowly with shoe's, boots and handbags slowly I will incorporate the tops thanks Karen merry Christmas and a blessed new year 🎄🎉
Thank you, thank, you thank you (from Chicago)! I have been waiting for this!
Best videos ever. Love watching all of them. Thank you for sharing Karen.
OMG I am SO glad I moved from Chicago to Raleigh! I used to have to wear 5 layers of clothing just to commute to work! It's hard to be fashionable when the wind chill factor is 72 degrees below zero!!!
I hear you! It is brutal here, especially when commuting by bus!
Welcome to Raleigh!
A G yes

🤚Me! I’m the one who layers three pair of tights and or leggings! I used to always be hot, one of those walking around with no gloves, hats, no socks or tights etc... All of a sudden in my 40’s I’m the total opposite. Go numb, always cold. I layer like mad! I found some great footless tights on Amazon last year that are the best - the inside is kind of furry! They’re the warmest ever, need to see if they come in other colours. I’m a big fan of the fleece tights/ footless tights (layered of course!) as well as OTK boots for warmth. Jeans, layered leggings under skirts with knee boots. Honestly I look like I’m dressed for the arctic soon as the temp drops! I do find sunglasses help, not so much for warmth, but keeping the blustery wind out of your eyes (especially as I’m a contacts wearer). Fab tips as usual... if I could just lose these last 10-15 lbs I’d have more choice of all my fab warm coats! Have a lovely Yuletide season in St. Lucia! 😘💞🦇⚡️Jet
Layers is definitely key and yes sunglasses are more like I said for wind buffering plus they look good too so two for one : ) Ahhh that extra 10 pounds that every woman wishes she could get rid of..... I know the feeling.
KarenBritChick - I love 2fers!Most women of average size can usually fit their clothes if they gain 10 lbs. My prob is being so tiny it takes less than 5 lbs to go up one size🤨 so I’m curently 2-3 sizes away from fitting so much! Because I have to layer so much I’m getting really frustrated with my gorgeous coats. The only ones I can wear with layers are my vintage capes or furs. Oh look at you you, so tiny! (I know we all have things we don’t feel good about our bodies, so apologies, I don’t mean to downplay or hurt you for any flaws you might perceive.) 😘💖🦇⚡️Jet
Oops forgot to mention, I damaged my cornea badly a few years ago, left me more sensitive to light than my usual nocturnal echolocation (I’m a bat!) sunglasses are a must even when most wouldn’t need them. Polarised the best!🎄J.
thanks Karen for your cool tips...I would go into hibernation directly if I could...summer girl here! :-)
Karen, so happy that you keep that grey coat ! Love it 😍😍
Hello, Lady Karen! You're stunning and on point as usual! As you know, I live in Beijing now and everytime I go to the underground shopping mall in my part of the city, I pass a store that has the thickest tights I've ever seen. Thanks to you and this video, I'm going to buy them and try them on. They look and feel so snuggly. The girls that I've seen wear them look so chic.
You are really really good at this! 👌🏿
Waiting for your video !!! Love ❤️ your style! Merry Christmas 🎄 and a Happy Holiday Season to you !!
