Y’all. Boise is a lot colder than…well, Florida or North Carolina, where I spent the last 25 years of my life. It hasn’t been as bad as I feared before we moved here…thanks in part to a few of my favorite cold-weather items. If you like neutral colors and hate being cold, read on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"cream<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This fleece<\/a>. I wear the heck out of this thing. I treat it like a bathrobe in the mornings, feel cute when I wear it out, and sometimes I’m so cozy that I don’t realize I didn’t put on a coat until we’re out the door, and I’m often warm enough with just this. (Also, one of the reviewers talked about feeling like a “majestic polar bear” when she wears it, and I can’t not think about that and feel an inner delight.) I have a large and it’s perfect – I have broad shoulders and I get claustrophobic if my layers are constricting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"long-sleeve<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This gray t-shirt.<\/a> It’s great for layering, it feels like pjs but looks cute with jeans, and it’s practically perfect in every way (other than the price, ouch). I have this in a medium and I don’t even know what makes it so good. If it was a little less $ I would buy many, many more of this exact shirt in this exact color and wear it every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"cozy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wool socks. So, I had never owned these before? Toms with no socks was my “winter” shoe most of my NC life (until I finally bought tall boots riiiight before everyone else bought ankle boots, sigh). A friend here gave me my first pair of wool socks for Christmas and I wore them every day for like 5 days before I broke down and washed them. They’re just so warm and lovely. I have this Smartwool pair<\/a> and this L.L. Bean pair<\/a>. 10\/10 recommend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Madewell<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These jeans<\/a>, if I’m leaving the house. I’m ruined and can only wear jeans with whatever sorcery “TENCEL” is. They never get bagged out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These joggers<\/a>, if I’m home. I have a much-maligned, much-loved pair of thrift store sweatpants that I’ve had since college. We call ’em The Browns and they had a long life before they met me, and they’ve had a long life since. I’m not quite ready to call it quits, but I needed to start breaking in a replacement and I like these sweats a lot. I ordered a small and a medium and then ended up keeping both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gap<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Honorable mention goes to\u00a0this gray sweater.<\/a>\u00a0It’s soft and I love the hemline. I get compliments every time I wear this. (idk, maybe people are just glad I’m not wearing my polar bear fleece?) Only con is that it’s a little snag-able. You probably shouldn’t buy it unless it’s at least 40% off, I think that’s the rule with all Gap\/Old Navy\/LOFT\/etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently I’m not enough of an influencer for these to be affiliate links, guys. Rude, right?! lol.<\/em> So if you buy them, you’re bringing yourself joy and coziness, and no cash comes to me.<\/em> \ud83d\ude18<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
