In cooler weather, battle-scarred veterans of harsh winters know to dress in cozy, peelable layers (with some exceptions); the irritation of freezing one minute then overheating the next is all too familiar to those who work outside the home. While current temperatures (low-40s to high-50s) do not necessitate puffer jackets or Uniqlo Heattech, this temperature swing introduces enough uncertainty that starting the day in multiple layers is sensible.
As I spend most of my day indoors, I start with a sweater dress paired with tall boots (worn with wool knee-high socks) that have elastic panels. In recent years, soft, drape-y sweater-jackets/sweater-blazers/long cardigans have been my choice outerwear for fall. And I wrap myself in a blanket (usually printed) scarf when I have to go outside. This outfit can be adapted for winter with the addition of a heavier overcoat, Heattech t-shirt(s), and fleece-lined tights (an especially cold-intolerant friend will not leave the house without wearing at least two pairs at once).
A sale alert: from 9PM to 11PM EST on 11/5/18, take 40% off any one item (except UGG Australia products) at Victoria’s Secret with code SAVE40VS. Shipping is free on orders over $100 (no code needed), or on any order with code FREESHIP. VS allows up to three codes per order, so do check out “today’s offers” to find the optimal combination for your order.
I’d recommend the Cozy Jogger (so soft; if this had pockets it would be perfect), Embellished Lace Bodysuit, Total Knockout Tight, and Lightly Lined Wireless Bra (my favorite “everyday” bra).
Happy shopping!
