kind-iguana puts together a casual cold-weather outfit for running errands: shearling-lined boots, fine-wale corduroy pants with a stretch waistband, cotton T-shirt, J.Crew jacket, and a mixed-metal necklace. Everything is comfortable and practical, nothing fussy.
Everyday outfits for colder weather. Okay. It's a little easier to say, like, oh, wear this and wear a pump and wear this and whatever. And yes, you'll look elevated. But what about on a Tuesday, going to the grocery store where we want to look cute and put together, but like, you know, not in our athletic clothes and not like we're going out at night. What do you do? Got it for you. Okay. Should we start from the bottom up? Let's start from the bottom up. These shoes, these. They're not even shoes. They're boots. I love they have shearling inside. Okay. A number one, my toes are not cold. Two, they aren't clunky. Like, they're a little clunky, but they're not, like, uber clunky. So they're high enough here. If you're wearing it with something cropped, they're tightish in the shaft and they're elongated in the toe box. Get it? Those are the three things we're looking for, whether it's a heeled boot or not. Then let's move into corduroys. Corduroys. Super cool, super hot. This year. You can wear them if you are in Florida or Arizona. You might not wear them with shearling boots, but you can also wear them if you're up north. Like me right now. I'm cold. My bones are cold. Okay. Love these cords. It's a very fine whale corduroy. So fine whale means that, like, the lines are very tight together. A wide whale means that it's wider. These are a barrel. Okay. If you have been barrel adverse, check out these because they're like a slight barrel. So they give you all the good things about a barrel, but they don't do the things that made some of you cringe when you first saw a barrel. And you're like, oh, you look like you have rickets. You look like you just got off a horse. I don't think these look that way. So these are a good, like, entryway for barrels. Now, they're also by Spanx, and they're part of their, like, 360 thing. So it has a really nice wide waistband. Let me see if I can show you. Let me undo my. Let's get friendly here. Okay. Can you see? It's like a nice wide waistband that has stretch. So when you put it on, you're not, like, bound. It's sort of like, oh, okay. It, like, hugs you. It does not bind you. Okay. My belt. I will find something similar. This is a very, very old belt, but I liked how it tied all the colors together, if you know what I mean. T shirt, rag and bone, super cute. Like cotton, so it's not see through. I know that's a big deal for a lot of people. J. Crew, little jacket. I like how the brown tortoisey buttons pull in the rest of the colors. And necklace. I like how it's gold and silver together. So if you don't know what to wear this way, it's already tied into your outfit. So this is like a really good Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, any day where you don't want to be in sweats, but you don't want to be in going out clothes. It's that sweet spot in the middle.
