The cute in cold

So Chicago went from the most magical stretch of fall weather to what seems like the dreaded Chicago winter in just a couple of days. Blouses and t-shirts to well this.......

I am in a constant brainstorm about how to keep warm and dry and CUTE even in the most extreme conditions. So far I haven't gotten very far hence the photo. A colleague said I looked like a Sudanese Liberation Army fighter the other day. Not exactly the look I'm going for. I have some ideas and might share them in some upcoming posts.
