You guys…I think we made it. According to the ten day forecast, it looks like we can put away our puffer coats (although I don’t think they’re all that bad) and opt for something a bit lighter. I’m not saying it’s t-shirt / leather jacket time just yet, but I’m feeling optimistic here (which is rare for me this early in the year). If you’re excited to lighten up (whether by color or by weight of your outerwear), then you’re going to enjoy this.
The one thing us Chicagoans all seem to want is a warm winter coat, but one that’s actually stylish…and doesn’t make us look like a marshmallow. It’s something I struggled with in the past but either designers have really stepped up their game in the outerwear department or I’ve gotten really good at finding stylish winter coats (perhaps a little bit of both?) This is a secret I simply cannot keep to myself. So if you’re freezing your ass off right now, this should be able to help.
Chestnut, tan, caramel, light brown, camel…whatever you want to call it, when it comes to outerwear, it doesn’t get more basic than this (and not in a bad way). Camel coats are in no way a trend, but it seems their popularity has been at an all time high as of late…and not just on the runways.
File this under “fashion is fun” because you’re in for a real treat. What do superheroes and The Wizard of Oz have in common? Let’s find out.
I originally wanted to call this post “The best part about it being 40 degrees in October” but that seemed a little lengthy (and to you lucky ones out there, it’s not 40 degrees in all parts of the world). But for my fellow Chicagoans, although this weather is a bit surprising (even for us), it’s a little depressing to know that Winter snow, below freezing temperatures and the oh-so-popular puffer coats will all be gracing us with their presence very soon. Because I’m all about spinning a negative into a positive (unless you happen to get caught in the rain in your new suede and calf hair boots…there’s no positive to that), today we’re going to talk about the 5 best things about it being 40 degrees in October (and if you wake up early enough, 35 degrees).
