How in the heck am I supposed to dress cute in such frigid weather??? I have a few suits and a nice dress to wear to meetings. And a chunky gap sweater to wear with some skinny jeans. (Yes, I am quite certain I will regret the skinny jeans in ten years but for now it seems like the right thing to do.) I bought a new dressy coat. And of course my cowboy boots will be making the journey with me. Cowboy boots are warm and comfy for sight-seeing. I've never traveled this far north in my life. I feel like I am getting ready to make a trek to an alien planet. Do people just wear normal clothes with thermals underneath? Or do they wear toasty warm clothes AND thermals? Do you forgo cuteness to stay warm? And what if my hair doesn't like the cold weather??? I don't even like coats. Or jackets. Or layering. And another dilemma, it will be like 80ish when I leave Alabama, but 30ish when I arrive at my destination. I think I am going to wear a comfy dress with a cardigan and my boots, no leggings, and carry a casual coat on the plane with me. Chris said the wind is blowing around 40mph. No, it's not storming, it's just that windy. I mean, I have cute outfits, but I am just not sure how well they will fare in winter weather. I'm just having a hard time wrapping my head around it. I am telling myself the weather isn't that different from Alabama, but who am I kidding? I had the air conditioner on in my car on my way to work this morning! Hmm I guess what I have packed will be fine. Be on the lookout for pics and stories from my trip. Some good news, at least it's not snowing up north. Yet. And please comment if you have any cold-weather wardrobe advice for me!
