But I am in my new cold-weather uniform today, inspired in part by LC's recent American Apparel find, and also one of my own finds when I was moving all my necessary stuff out of my room yesterday: a bright red crew-neck men's sweatshirt behind my-- well, I want to call it an armoire, but it's a laquered plywood piece of dorm-room cheapness, so I'll stick with "cabinet." Anyway, it, combined with black skinny jeans, kind of looks like something my dad would wear, minus the ballet flats, but it's ultra warm, and I feel kind of attractive, and I didn't even really need a coat during my mad dash from my car to my cream cheese. Oh, and read this month's Vogue--or is it Vanity Fair?--well, one of those Conde Nast magazines. Because apparently this is what Nicolas Ghesquiere wears while he's dreaming up Balenciaga masterpieces. MENSWEAR IS A TREND PEOPLE.
This guy knows what's up!
I'm happy because it used to be that I really had to slum it when I wanted to be warm enough because my "cute" uniform usually consists of a cardigan, a t-shirt and skinny jeans or something high-waisted, and the kind of shoes that only look good on bare feet or, if wearing a skirt, tights. Although I do double up on the tights sometimes. Now, I feel like I don't even need to wear glasses to justify my comfortableness.
Which leads me to an overwhelming question, posed to me by a member of the male species the other day: why is it that no one makes warm women's clothes anymore?

woah, that is the oddest picture ever, oh well genius's are always on the edge haha
hmm good question posed by the male half of the human race...but you should've mentioned sweater dress and tights!
Why aren't any womens clothes warm?
It's because they are designed by men.
Doi.
And that hazelnut stuff you mentioned sounded delish.
sounds like a cute outfit...post a pic if possible
I ask the same question when I'm outside in the Winter bundled up and feeling ridiculous (why aren't women's clothes warm? why does wearing less clothes equate to looking better??) LOL
ps. thanks for the comments about the photos...I'll trade you your rain for my snow here. I shoveled the snow THREE times yesterday.
I have these knee high socks that are the texture of tights.. they work so well with flats! Today I'm wearing thick OTK socks beneath my jeans, to keep warm. haha.
Everytime I go to the shops there are wispy tea dresses in winter, it remains a mystery to me that why there isn't more warm clothes, or why girls don't wear more warm clothes!
causation as to why I usually wear at least 4/5 layers when it gets cold. Also, I hate the feel of gooseflesh.
in response to your question, its because the fashion world loooves to see us women suffer.
and why is that?
well, i dont think its coincidence that most fashion designers are gay men or women.
male favoritism, people
It's difficult to stay chic with this cold
Hazelnut cream cheese? Now I really must stock up on sweeties..
And Nicolas is just astounding. If anyone offered me a choice between hanging out with him and hanging out with Olivier Theyksens, I'd be so torn..
sometimes you have to pay the price of comfort to be fashionable BUT there are sum cases where you don't
Sexy sells. And warm doesn't sound too sexy.
Haha. I try to make warm look sexy. I dont know if I succeed.
Thanks for the compliment! The Olsen twins are my fashion idols!
xoxoxoxoxo
Ahhh, i LOVE panera =]
and women's clothes ARE cold and not meant for cold weather. And if it is, it's usually a short dress with a pair of tights. Now answer me this, if you live in a place where it actually SNOWS, how are you supposed to stay warm??
yeah.
anyways, i love your blog =]
YES to panera, I used to work there and could take home as much cream cheese, pastries and bread as I wanted...talk about dangerous. I agree that there isn't much for stylish women to wear when it's cold. Big bulky sweaters or expensive cashmere? that's about it.
I wish they would make nice womens winter clothes!!
i like his pose on that motorcycle...well i guess women's clothes aren't as warm since they may not use more structured and thicker materials compared to men's clothing. us women are suppose to be light and dainty, so i guess that reflects on the clothing.
Yeah...womens clothes are warm only when layered and covered up!!!
I would love it if somone made warm tights!!
Especially warm winter coats! It's been my quest for several years running to find a flattering and warm coat, but they don't seem to exist.
This is why I much prefer summer. Hmph.
black skinning jeans....HOTNESS!! i love them too. btw, cream cheese sounds AMAAAAZING! i cannot wait to head back home for some good ol' american food, including cream cheese!
I want a ski suit from the seventies to wear around town.
