Fitting into a Winter Wonderland

It was amazing to experience a winter wonderland this winter. Having lived overseas for almost half my life (wow! Putting it that way makes it seem like a loooooonng time!), I’ve missed the snowy winters I had growing up in Spokane, Washington. That’s why Christmas 2015 was so very special: the whole family got to indulge in the winter wonderland experiences of sledding, skiing, snow angel making, shivering, everything. For me however, I didn’t really get to take part in the actual physical activities that accompany snow. Rather, I just tried the look the part! I continually wore my big oversized cable knit sweater almost every day. I embraced slouchy beanies and got great use out of my cream, full-length, down jacket. I pulled out the Sorels from my snowboarding days circa 1990. I even wore makeshift ski-looking-pants with my faux leather joggers. I might not have hit the slopes, but I definitely tried to play the part. The only way I know I fit in was by all the “Oh! Don’t you look like a snow bunny!” comments that I received in the bar apré ski. Here’s the trick to fitting into a winter wonderland scene–just make sure to dress cozy.

Shop the Winter Wonderland Look:

My sweater from Needle is now gone as are my (faux) leather joggers from a few years ago. I’ve found some other options for you though so you too can fit in and get the winter wonderland look. You just need a cable knit sweater, some faux leather joggers, and a pair of winter snow boots. You’ll be set!
