Vermont Fashion: Go Bulky or Go Home
/
I love fashion blogs - they're art with clothes. But I crack up (or cry) every winter when I see photos of my favorite fashion bloggers either out with bare legs (damn those Texas winters) or, even in the slightly colder places, sporting a dress coat and no hat.
Winter fashion in Vermont?
I haven't seen my legs - not even indoors - in months! Those babies are covered with fleece-lined leggings from morning until night. And then again until morning.
I never go outside with fewer than four layers on, and the very notion that I would bop out there without a hat is sheer lunacy.
In February, Vermont fashion is all about bulk. The more bulk, the better.
Here's your clothing recipe for a successful outdoor outing in this frigid winter wonderland.
Yes, it was 5 degrees out and snowing.
And yes, I was wearing fleece-lined leggings under my flannel-lined jeans. Perhaps it's a little more challenging for me since I'm a Georgia girl, but folks, I make no apologies for the fact that I have a working internal thermostat.
It's flipping cold here.
Bulk up.
Also, here's my favorite outtake from our "photo shoot."
p.s. This was right after I'd moved up here, just a couple weeks before I broke down and bought the puffy coat, three years ago.
