What to Wear: Snow Day!

Part One
This seems to be a very fitting post, considering all the snow day stuff I have been getting up to lately!

Please note: I hate winter coats. I remember going with my Dad every year when I was a kid to buy a new winter coat. This is post-divorce, and was something he really enjoyed doing with us girls! I never got the right one. Not once. I could try on a dozen, and pick the "best", but in reality it was always either too short, too long in the arms, or too tight. Or too manly. Or too girly (yeah right...). Or too green.

And, to be honest, the tradition has continued. Not that my Dad comes coat shopping with me, although that might be completely awesome, come to think of it!

But this year, oh wonder of wonder, miracle of miracles, I bought myself a beautiful, warm, flattering, cozy coat! And I almost can't bring myself to wear it out! HA!

Part Two
K. I finally got around to taking some photos! Yay! It's about minus 12 celsius right now, which for you Yanks means 10 Farenheit. Yep. Damn fricken cold, that's what we call that. I'm not sure what it "feels like," which is Canadian for "wind chill factor", but damn fricken cold is appropriate for now! Also, this isn't even the worst of winter up here....oh yes.

So tonight, I was out for drinks with BFF....and...well.....yep. This is FormerlyLisaS after a couple of fancy beers!

"Who's that? Champion of the skies? Man of truth in a world of lies! Conquering everybody's fears, with the help of the Adventurekateers!" It's a thing...trust me!

And yes....I did fall on my ass. But only once. And it was pretty awesome! My hands were so cold by about the second photo, but I stuck it out. Maybe I should have just stopped there...wink!

FYI...Coat & Scarf//Sears. Mittens//Marks Work Warehouse. Headband//Splure & Co. Jeans//Value Village. Boots//Mall. Glasses//Coastal.

This coat is so warm. So very warm. Snow day up here means warm coat, boots, scarf, mitts, toque and whatever else floats your boat. If I was actually headed out to do some kind of actual snow activity instead of just drunk pictures, I would have my actual snow boots and some snow pants on. For sledding & snowman building, etc.

This reminds me.....I still need to find me some snow pants.....

Maybe one of these ladies can direct me to the nearest snow pants depot...although for most of them, I think they'll just be jealous of us Canucks and our actual snow days!! We were supposed to get about 10cm of snow today, and there is another 10 in the forecast for tomorrow. So far, not so much, but as you can see there is still lots left over from our last snowfall. So lovely, but not quite ready for snowman building.

The list again...
