Greetings from -25'C! Thank you for posting a winter outfit video that doesn't show bare legs with over-the-knee boots and tiny crop tops under cute fur trimmed jackets worn open...
Yes to thermals! There are so many better options for thermals now so we don’t have to settle for those waffle weave, lumberjack-esque looking thermals. We you talked about hearing you mom and auntie’s voice in your head when you put on that short jacket, I could hear my mother saying “Girl, you better put a longer coat over your behind!”
This born and raised So Cal girl who transplanted to the Mid-Atlantic region always appreciates these type of videos. Layering doesn't come natural to me so tips are appreciated!
I always appreciate your winter dressing videos because they really do apply to those of us who have Real Winter. Montana winters, complete with Strong Winds, require layers and socks and boots -- no bare ankle looks! Thank you, Alyssa, for helping us to look good even in BrrCold Winter!
I went out the other night and realised that nothing looks good if you are feeling cold! I’m in NZ & winters are pretty mild a lot of the time so I have never bothered too much with warm winter clothing & wear similar things year round! But there are some days and nights where it is freezing and I realised any bare skin or not wearing warm enough layers is not going to make your night or day out go well & feel enjoyable.
Yes! So many "cold weather" fashion suggestions I find online wouldn't take us Torontonians past mid-November and we live in one of the warmer areas of Canada!
Love all the tips! If however, your place work is hot and the heat is blasting I recommend wearing your jeans or pants and then putting snow pants over those in the winter so you can remove the snow pants and not be boiling in the office.
I would love to see a very granular video just on hats and scarves. How to wrap a scarf and hair styles with winter hats? How to make the same couple of accessories feel new? Thanks so much for your great content. Love this.
I love these outfits Alyssa! I do have one suggestion however. You are standing in back in the far corner of the room where there is no light 💡 You could move up so that the window shines on your face and your outfit and we can see them better😍
YES! I LOVE outfit videos that are actually realistic, thank you so much for starting with a base layer!! Those lined leather pants and thermals and boots looks SO COZY. I need that outfit! :)
@@AlyssaBeltempo Thanks so much for the inspiration!!! You are awesome! My legs are always cold so this is perfect, I don't even mind being extra warm when I'm indoors lol
Wow! Brilliant! I live in Sweden and the layering with a puffer jacket under I never thought about. Love to see real winter cloths that looks young and fashionable as well even if I am way older… Also love your slow fashion approach ❤️
Last year I invested in a pair of kneehigh lined leather Boots, in the foot area pure thin wool lining. Such a game changer with small trousers or dresses - I am always on my bike, so I need warm and practical pieces! This year I invested in wool stockings/leggins/socks - also perfect for winter on the bike! One of my best thrift store finds EVER is a Woolrich down parka - waterproof, snuggly warm and chic! I just need a nice warm and chic hat 😊💕🤗
What a fabulous video! My biggest gripe about living in a climate with cold and snow is the challenge of styling outfits that don't look like the Abominable Snowman that will insure warmth. Ironically, we are seeing unusually warm temps right now (60s and 70s), but I love having this video to inspire the put together looks with the built in warmth.
I live in a Colorado mountain town and merino is my go-to for about 8+ months each year, for hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, and for around the house. Base layers, tights, sweaters, hoodies, sweatpants, leggings, hats/gloves/socks/neck gaiters ….even merino panties! Merino is soft, hypoallergenic, durable, easy care, and naturally anti-microbial, so it doesn’t get stinky. *And* unlike other fibers, it retains much of its insulating qualities even when it’s wet (important when you work up a sweat out on the trail).
In order to keep the brutal winter wind from freezing me to my bones I end up looking like the kid brother in his snow suit in "A Christmas Story" so I really appreciate how brilliantly you showed us how to stay stylish as well as warm. Thanks for the great tips! X❤️
Looking for a Merino wool or a Cashmere jumper it makes all the difference, they are warm and cling to the body and merino, in particular, does NOT need to be washed as frequently as it somehow absorbs sweat. I am not a big fan of junky scarves because of a large chest and a shortish neck,so I will tuck a silk scarf between me and the elements and button up my coat
Brava! I was born in Montreal so I know what you're talking about Thermals, good boots, and scarves are a must. Nothing worse than cold, wet feet or the cold wind blowing down your neck.
This is great ❤ I live in Norway and think inspiration boards for winter on pinterest of outfits are so unrealistic for our winters. I am plus size and I like to wear wool (thermal) camis, because they dont bulk as much as a full sweater. It helps tons too.
This fellow Canuck loves your cold-weather videos. We recently moved back to the Rocky Mountains from the West Coast and becoming the poster-family for Icebreaker merino products is how we are making all our clothes work for cold weather. Well, except boots. There's no wearing the leather-soled, uninsulated boots of December-in-Vancouver where I am now. Thank goodness for Quebec-based stylish + warm boot companies :)
We can get really cold on Colorado so your video is spot on for me. I love my thermals in the Winter and really Lauer up. Snow boots or hiking boots are a must when we have snow on the ground. A warm hat and gloves are essential.
with my crewneck sweaters I use a V neck merino top underneath so you can't see it at the neck as sometimes in warmer places I have to take out my scarves....
Although I don’t live in a cold climate (Texas) it’s good to get these ideas because it’s usually “cold”in the morning and warm in the afternoon so layering is a great idea .Thanks please do more layering videos if possible
Ok hands down the best most practical winter dressing video I've ever seen!!! Thank you for even putting on your winter boots to complete the look for going to the office!!!
I recently discovered silk long sleeve undergarments. I am not usually a person that buys silk, but these are game-changers for cold winters where you don't want thick thermals for under your workwear. They're worth every penny!
Due to climate change we don't get really cold weather here in Greece. We used to have some bitter cold weather in the past. All we get now are sudden temperature drops from one day to another and again higher temperatures the following day. Your tips could help me though indoors...because of the higher electricity prices in whole Europe I have to dress in layers to keep warm and avoid excessive bills. So thank you.😍😍😍😍
Winter is rough in Canada! I live in Atlantic Canada and its already freezing. You really have to invest in nice looking and quality outerwear or you just look frumpy and are frozen all winter! I've been slowly adding to my collection. My struggle is that once I'm inside thermals are way to hot for me so it's hard to go from inside to outside and vice versa. Lots of layers!
Amazingly refreshing styling! I live in PA, and in February, no one seems to care about fashion this time of year, especially when Noreaster blizzards blow through. I see people wearing snow pants with parkas, mostly in black. Can barely recognize anyone covered in hats and scarves. People stay home as much as possible. It always seems so ridiculous when we arrive somewhere and have to peel off all the layers, and worse when everything is damp from snow. I hope to incorporate your ideas this winter. Maybe it will keep me from dreaming of springtime too soon.
As a fellow Canadian living in Alberta, I appreciate these inspirational winter wear looks! Dressing for winter weather CAN look stylish! Thank you for doing this video! Stay warm!
And as someone living in Ottawa where it’s already below zero, I totally agree that these outfits are functional yet stylish! Base layers, a hat and warm boots are key for keeping you cozy. I love wearing a wool beret to add some style and warmth. Thanks for your great video and helpful tips!
I often joke that i would need an orientation on how to dress and live if i were to move up north, being from TX. This was so insightful from a functionality perspective, but you also look fabulous! Love love love your content, BTW. You are my favorite RUclips channel 💗
Love these videos. Living in Washington State, we don’t get lots of frigid weather, but when it gets really cold, I will be prepared once I get my thermals.
Oh thanks for this 😊😊 I moved to Belgium and I am still struggling to get how to dress for the winter and still looking good 😝 and every time I was reaching to pinterest for some inspiration, well I just think those girls must be living in Los Angeles or something 🤣🤣 I'm glad to see those thermals, and that blazers can also be used as one layer, well, lots of insights in the video, thanks! 😊
Greetings from Minnesota! We have the same frigid climate so I saved this video for inspiration. I have similar items already in my closet except for what I call a "car coat" which is a little shorter than my long wool coats which can get clunky at times. Thanks for all you do Alyssa! Just followed in Instagram 🙂
This is probably a taboo subject, but maybe a video on lingerie and balancing hygiene with environmentalism or figuring out how much lingerie you need for your own lifestyle. And things like bras are usually not made of sustainable materials so trying to navigate that on a budget. Buying secondhand lingerie (especially undies) is usually a hygiene problem, so secondhand shopping isn’t usually an option to be sustainable with it. This is all to say that lingerie is probably the aspect of trying to be more sustainable or conscientious that I am most iffy on. It would be interesting to hear your take
Amanda, for many years, I used to have the same problem. It was no big deal to find ethically manufactured slips and panties, even made from organic cotton. But it was absolutely impossible to get my hands on a fitting bra of the same quality, since I am big busted. Thankfully, things have changed. There are so many organic brands out there by now. You will find them with a little bit of research. For example, I love the german brand Erlich Textil and the scandinavian brand Organic Basics. They both have cotton bras which are super comfortable, even in really small or really big sizes. Good luck! 🍀🍀🍀
It gets pretty cold where we live, so this was a great video for me to watch. Love your big, furry mittens...it seems like my hands are always frost-bitten when we walk.
Once I discovered thermo undergarment a long time ago. My winter dressing game changed for the better. I am so with you on keeping your ankles and neck covered. It’s why I love sock booties or ankle boots that are slim around the ankles so they tuck under my pants or pair with my jeans perfectly. Great video. I agree that a great winter boot is essential, and there are so many stylish less bulky ones out there now
Scarves really make the difference to elevating a look. I love having a variety so I can live with only a few coats, but still have many looks. A few different hats helps as well.
CIAO Alyssa, love that last trend, and I forgot about Vinnies, I'll wearing them. With those SANTA WINDS in California, TheyI'll estay put in my head. Love it, CIAO girl, and hope the best for what these coming years teach us! CIAO
This was excellent: My favorite winter staples from Minnesota: Merino tights, fleece lined tights and leggings, over the knee merino socks, silk v-neck cami and for actual snow: mukluks...Also when it gets super cold in the winter I love wearing really bright colors like hot pink, orange, yellow and red. They warm me up spiritually, which sounds cheesy, but it gives me something to get out of bed and get dressed for on those cold, dark below zero mornings...
Thank you for your tips but in Norwegian winter I am like, "Ditch the fashion and wear those warm warm long puffer coat, boots with wool inside". But I feel happy that I am stylish inside.
Thank you for this!! Whenever I see "winter" outfits in videos or on Pinterest it's always a fall outfit with a coat over it and it never is practical. These were stylish and looked warm!
💟 Yes to dressing in harmony for both warmth & style!!! That's my motto & I'm sticking to it, as a cold weather friend from north eastern U.S. Thank you! 💟💜💟
Good morning Alyssa! Great video showing how you can still look somewhat chic and well put together even in our freezing cold winter climate!! I think I'll be watching this another time or two!! Thanks for the awesome tips!!
Thank you for saying that your next layer needs to be bigger than the last to fit. I always make the mistake of getting everything in my true size without thinking of how I’m truly wearing it - with two layers below. ❤️
Thanks for these videos. I hate winter and being cold , ( I have hypothyroidism). you have really helped my seasonal affective disorder by teaching me to enjoy my clothes while being warm this winter in Pennsylvania.
I feel this. I deal with Raynaud’s phenomenon and every year it doesn’t matter how much wool and insulation I have on my extremities, I’ll start getting minor frostbite on my toes and fingers within about 5 minutes of being outside. To this day, i have yet to find a way to survive the Kentucky (!!) winter. Hopefully one day I’ll get something figured out (or move to Jamaica) but for now, anything north is a hard no for me and outdoor activities in the winter? HECK NO. I’m staying inside.
Good to see someone properly dressed for winter. So many people get sick because they allow themselves to get cold and then the immune system is stressed. In Ayurveda, we know that if you let your knees get cold, you stress the kidneys. If you feel cold, your thoughts will also tend towards fearfulness. All the best Alyssa!
Great tips Alyssa. I don't think it gets quite as cold here in Ireland but layering and being practical when those Arctic winds blow in is a must! Thanks for the video!
Hi! I live in Montreal (welcome to our city!) where winter is quite cold and your suggestions are great! May I add that Rudsak duvet coats and Pajar boots have absolutely changed the game for me? I now go out in minus 20-30 celsius sometimes with a teeshirt only under the Rudsak coat and the boots keep me warm no matter the weather. It's actually a pleasure to not have to layer so much clothes anymore! They are expensive but I have had these coat and boots for over 10 years, so well worth it!
Amazing! What great ideas to layer without looking at all like the Michelin Tire man. Especially loved the outfits with the short puffer underneath the wool jacket or coat...or the Moto peeking out from under the overcoat layer. Warm AND stylish? Who'da thunk it?!!💯
I cannot thank you enough for this video. I´ve been following you for a while now and you´ve helped me improve my style and feel better on a daily basis. I just moved to Canada 2 weeks ago (coming from a tropical country) and was completely overwhelmed by all the winter gear and bulky-looking outfits. This video calmed me down soooooo much and changed that feeling of "is this my life now?" to "yay! this is my life now!". Thank you a million times. You really are a life saver. :)
This video is so fun! U changed your editing style! Your dance moves coordinated with the new editing style and it’s so fun to watch! Thank u for the extra editing work u put in.
Wow!! These are great suggestions, and are very much needed. I feel like looking fashionable in the winter is very difficult. These outfits are very cute!
As a Colombian living in the “north” (South Jersey) I need your running outfits tips DESPERATELY! I love running but I never do it when under 10 Celsius degrees cause I’m terrified my nose will fall off my face! I hope you included workout outfits!!! 😫🙏🏽🤞🏽
This was very helpful! My confidence has really increased recently and as a result I've found myself wanting to take time on my appearance and having fun with fashion, but winter items really stumped me on how to enjoy them w/o just feeling like the michelin man or a child in a round ball of fabrics heaped on by a mother
Just received my dear Frances boots (in summer 😆) tried them on they are impressive, fits to perfection and craftsmanship obviousness - I cannot wait to wear them come the season change -thank you for recommending xx
this helped so so much 🙏 usually when i look up winter outfit inspiration it’s still more like fall, or just chilly, windy weather. BUT I LIVE IN SNOW 😭 so thank you this helped a lot! you have great ideas and would love to see more:):):):)
This is such a helpful video. I freeze in the iowa winters. I'm already cold. Teehee. I was looking at thermals yesterday, I didn't like the ones I saw, so this is inspiring me to find something I like better. Thank you for all your suggestions and advice. I appreciate you.❤❤❤
Loved all of this! I'm in northwest Ohio, so it gets really cold, but probably nothing like Canada. My challenge is to stay warm in the house without getting overheated. This will help!
Greetings from -25'C! Thank you for posting a winter outfit video that doesn't show bare legs with over-the-knee boots and tiny crop tops under cute fur trimmed jackets worn open...
hahahaha you got it Jonna - stay warm! xx
-25 that's beyond "damn it's cold out here"!!! 😮
Yes to thermals! There are so many better options for thermals now so we don’t have to settle for those waffle weave, lumberjack-esque looking thermals. We you talked about hearing you mom and auntie’s voice in your head when you put on that short jacket, I could hear my mother saying “Girl, you better put a longer coat over your behind!”
Waffle weave!!! Hahaha oh those were the days!!
This born and raised So Cal girl who transplanted to the Mid-Atlantic region always appreciates these type of videos. Layering doesn't come natural to me so tips are appreciated!
oooh great! So glad it was helpful! xx
same!!!
Same! I had no idea my faux-leather Payless combat boots wouldn't keep my feet warm in the snow. They looked like winter boots to me! Haha.
I always appreciate your winter dressing videos because they really do apply to those of us who have Real Winter. Montana winters, complete with Strong Winds, require layers and socks and boots -- no bare ankle looks! Thank you, Alyssa, for helping us to look good even in BrrCold Winter!

Yes! So many "cold weather" fashion suggestions I find online wouldn't take us Torontonians past mid-November and we live in one of the warmer areas of Canada!
agreed! I'm already putting on layers and starting with a thermal one. I can't imagine what they wear in Montreal when it's minus 30 celcious
Love all the tips! If however, your place work is hot and the heat is blasting I recommend wearing your jeans or pants and then putting snow pants over those in the winter so you can remove the snow pants and not be boiling in the office.
Your videos are so practical and helpful unlike alot of other content creators. No shade, it's just really refreshing and inspiring! Thank you! ❤
ahh i'm glad you find these videos helpful xx
I would love to see a very granular video just on hats and scarves. How to wrap a scarf and hair styles with winter hats? How to make the same couple of accessories feel new? Thanks so much for your great content. Love this.
I love these outfits Alyssa!
I do have one suggestion however. You are standing in back in the far corner of the room where there is no light 💡 You could move up so that the window shines on your face and your outfit and we can see them better😍
YES! I LOVE outfit videos that are actually realistic, thank you so much for starting with a base layer!! Those lined leather pants and thermals and boots looks SO COZY. I need that outfit! :)
thank you Maya! I wore it out the other day and happy to report I was toasty all the way to and from our destination on public transpo!
@@AlyssaBeltempo Thanks so much for the inspiration!!! You are awesome! My legs are always cold so this is perfect, I don't even mind being extra warm when I'm indoors lol
I live in the mountains of Vermont and use many of these same ideas. Good layering in the winter makes it far more pleasant.
Wow! Brilliant! I live in Sweden and the layering with a puffer jacket under I never thought about. Love to see real winter cloths that looks young and fashionable as well even if I am way older… Also love your slow fashion approach ❤️
Loved all your outfits and ideas, living in Texas I don’t need to bundle up but when I have I know now how to. Thanks for sharing

Yes! Car coats were very popular in Chicago when I was younger and I think they’re still very practical.
I love car coats and bought three. I like that it keeps the wind off my thighs as I walk with my dog, and I think they’re more elevated than a parka.

Me too! I love switching up my scarves to give my coats a pop. I'm still working on the hats though. I seem to have a big head. :)
At long last, somebody with sensible suggestions for winter outfits!
CIAO Alyssa, love that last trend, and I forgot about Vinnies, I'll wearing them. With those SANTA WINDS in California, TheyI'll estay put in my head. Love it, CIAO girl, and hope the best for what these coming years teach us! CIAO
As someone currently living in southern Arizona, where it’s currently 76 degrees F and sunny, this video was still, strangely, fascinating 🤔
Thank you from Minnesota, where regardless of what a lot on IG & Pinterest suggests, our winter outerwear is more than a blazer.
This was excellent: My favorite winter staples from Minnesota: Merino tights, fleece lined tights and leggings, over the knee merino socks, silk v-neck cami and for actual snow: mukluks...Also when it gets super cold in the winter I love wearing really bright colors like hot pink, orange, yellow and red. They warm me up spiritually, which sounds cheesy, but it gives me something to get out of bed and get dressed for on those cold, dark below zero mornings...
Thank you for your tips but in Norwegian winter I am like, "Ditch the fashion and wear those warm warm long puffer coat, boots with wool inside". But I feel happy that I am stylish inside.
I live in the Rockies and the winters are unpredictable and can be brutal. Staying warm and stylish makes the cold season bearable. Thank you. 😎🤟💜
Just a thought. It would be nice to see a virtual tour of the city with you and see the festive decorations and some outdoor activities . Oui?
Finally some winter outfit ideas that don't involve cropped sweaters exposing your midriff!
Thank you for this!! Whenever I see "winter" outfits in videos or on Pinterest it's always a fall outfit with a coat over it and it never is practical. These were stylish and looked warm!
Not even in a cold climate, but wishing I could wear the last look! IT IS BEYOOOOOOOND!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
haha thank you Lili! xx
💟 Yes to dressing in harmony for both warmth & style!!! That's my motto & I'm sticking to it, as a cold weather friend from north eastern U.S. Thank you! 💟💜💟
Good morning Alyssa! Great video showing how you can still look somewhat chic and well put together even in our freezing cold winter climate!! I think I'll be watching this another time or two!! Thanks for the awesome tips!!
Full on red plaid skirt outfit is superb! I lived in MInnesota for many years and would so have copied this outfit there.
Thank you for saying that your next layer needs to be bigger than the last to fit. I always make the mistake of getting everything in my true size without thinking of how I’m truly wearing it - with two layers below. ❤️
Ah yes! Easy to forget how important fit is! Glad you liked that tip thank you for watching!
Thanks for these videos. I hate winter and being cold , ( I have hypothyroidism). you have really helped my seasonal affective disorder by teaching me to enjoy my clothes while being warm this winter in Pennsylvania.
I am so glad you found it helpful. It took me a while as I am always cold - the past few years I feel like I've finally figured it out! Stay warm!
I feel this. I deal with Raynaud’s phenomenon and every year it doesn’t matter how much wool and insulation I have on my extremities, I’ll start getting minor frostbite on my toes and fingers within about 5 minutes of being outside. To this day, i have yet to find a way to survive the Kentucky (!!) winter. Hopefully one day I’ll get something figured out (or move to Jamaica) but for now, anything north is a hard no for me and outdoor activities in the winter? HECK NO. I’m staying inside.
Love how practical for a cold climate! You forgot your sunglasses for the bright, crispy, frigid days!
So true!!
Thanks Alyssa! Very timely as it’s a bit chilly and snowy in Ottawa today. I just ordered some icebreaker thermals!
OMG, adding a rubber sole! How have I lived in Canada all my life and never thought of that. Thank you!
Good to see someone properly dressed for winter. So many people get sick because they allow themselves to get cold and then the immune system is stressed. In Ayurveda, we know that if you let your knees get cold, you stress the kidneys. If you feel cold, your thoughts will also tend towards fearfulness. All the best Alyssa!
Wow this is so interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Here in Minnesota, I love the cold weather wardrobe content! I just recommended Alyssa B to my niece in more Northern Minnesota
Thanks, Alyssa! Bundling up can still look great!😍❄️
Great tips Alyssa. I don't think it gets quite as cold here in Ireland but layering and being practical when those Arctic winds blow in is a must! Thanks for the video!
Your tan coat looks beautiful on you! And yes, I also believe in covering the neck and ankles in order to keep warm. 👍😍
Hi! I live in Montreal (welcome to our city!) where winter is quite cold and your suggestions are great! May I add that Rudsak duvet coats and Pajar boots have absolutely changed the game for me? I now go out in minus 20-30 celsius sometimes with a teeshirt only under the Rudsak coat and the boots keep me warm no matter the weather. It's actually a pleasure to not have to layer so much clothes anymore! They are expensive but I have had these coat and boots for over 10 years, so well worth it!
Amazing! What great ideas to layer without looking at all like the Michelin Tire man. Especially loved the outfits with the short puffer underneath the wool jacket or coat...or the Moto peeking out from under the overcoat layer. Warm AND stylish? Who'da thunk it?!!💯
I cannot thank you enough for this video. I´ve been following you for a while now and you´ve helped me improve my style and feel better on a daily basis. I just moved to Canada 2 weeks ago (coming from a tropical country) and was completely overwhelmed by all the winter gear and bulky-looking outfits. This video calmed me down soooooo much and changed that feeling of "is this my life now?" to "yay! this is my life now!". Thank you a million times. You really are a life saver. :)
This was WONDERFUL and realistic! Very helpful info 4 staying chic and warm.
I love the jacket over jacket. And those cream gloves!
Perfect timing for our increasing colder SE MI weather conditions...☺️❤️❄️🎄 Staying warm and stylish...
I have just moved to Canada - from sunny, warm and tropical Brazil - and this has helped me SO much!!!
The snow is flying and blowing here in Michigan tonight - 18 degrees F. These ideas are perfect timing. 🙏🏼❤️
LOVE the ideas! So cold here in southern Germany! Xx
Thank you for the cold weather tips Alyssa. Stay warm!
You always have great advice. Thank you!!
I live in a mostly cold climate most of the year. These are great tips. Thank you.
Thank you. Great ideas, stylish and more importantly keep you warm!
I never thought to layer a thin scarf under a bulky knitted scarf. Will definitely give that a go
This video is so fun! U changed your editing style! Your dance moves coordinated with the new editing style and it’s so fun to watch! Thank u for the extra editing work u put in.
Thank you so much for noticing the small details Li! ❤️🙏
Wow!! These are great suggestions, and are very much needed. I feel like looking fashionable in the winter is very difficult. These outfits are very cute!
You just blew my mind with such amazing tips. Maine is so cold and it's depressing to be out of style in exchange of warmth.
Great options Alyssa! I also live near Montreal and hate winter dressing..these are great chic options.
Your dancing made me smile. Love your down to earth tips for layering. Subscribed.
Wow! Fantastic outfits! You have excelled yourself Alyssa 🙂
I so agree with keeping your neck and ankles protected ... makes all the difference in the world during the bitter cold winter months!
Loved your suggestions for looking chic and feeling cosy at the same time 👍 I‘ll try them for my next visit to the German Weihnachtsmarkt 🎄
As a Colombian living in the “north” (South Jersey) I need your running outfits tips DESPERATELY! I love running but I never do it when under 10 Celsius degrees cause I’m terrified my nose will fall off my face! I hope you included workout outfits!!! 😫🙏🏽🤞🏽
Ahhh I didn't - I have a running highlights on my IG page and there are some q&a about winter running! I hope it helps ! Will likely do a reel for it!
I live in Michigan. I feel you. Great outfits!
This was very helpful! My confidence has really increased recently and as a result I've found myself wanting to take time on my appearance and having fun with fashion, but winter items really stumped me on how to enjoy them w/o just feeling like the michelin man or a child in a round ball of fabrics heaped on by a mother
This was phenomenal, I hate all these influencers showing us 'winter' looks while wearing cropped denim??
Hahaha. My pet peeve is those photos of models wearing puffer jackets unzipped and slung off the shoulders like they are shawls.
Just received my dear Frances boots (in summer 😆) tried them on they are impressive, fits to perfection and craftsmanship obviousness - I cannot wait to wear them come the season change -thank you for recommending xx
this helped so so much 🙏 usually when i look up winter outfit inspiration it’s still more like fall, or just chilly, windy weather. BUT I LIVE IN SNOW 😭 so thank you this helped a lot! you have great ideas and would love to see more:):):):)
This is such a helpful video. I freeze in the iowa winters. I'm already cold. Teehee. I was looking at thermals yesterday, I didn't like the ones I saw, so this is inspiring me to find something I like better. Thank you for all your suggestions and advice. I appreciate you.❤❤❤
Loved all of this! I'm in northwest Ohio, so it gets really cold, but probably nothing like Canada. My challenge is to stay warm in the house without getting overheated. This will help!
Definitely! I still wear my thermals under everything even in the house all day!
I always love how you layer! Thanks for the tips!
