I didn't put any posts up here on andchloe last week as I got caught up from getting back to Durango> Catch up after getting home from a trip is the worst. Compounding the catch up was some extremely cold weather - our highs were single digit! It was literally freezing. It also brought the first snow of the season. Luckily I had just ordered some Sorel boots (the Sorel Women's 1964 Premium Leather Boot) which made their appearance just in time for my first snow shoveling of the season.
Our weather was a wake up call that winter is here. And on those really cold and snowy days, I typically go for warmth and comfort, starting with leggings! And the Zella 'Live In' Reversible Leggings are the best. Forget Lululemon Wunder Unders, I like the Zella fabric and fit better and the price point is practically half that of Lululemon!
Consider an oversized tee my baselayer, and gray tends to be my favorite tee color. I like the simplicity of this Lightening Bolt OG Bolt Pocket tee. It's a men's tee and I recommend a size small.
Nothing beats the cold like flannel and Madewell is my go-to for cute flannel. I love the Madewell flannel cargo workshirt in buffalo check (also like this one, this one, and this one).
I have an awesome down Rab jacket that I got about six years ago. I can't find one I like as much, although I do really like the Patagonia Women's Fitz Roy Down Parka in Dark Currant (not pictured).
Also pictured above are some of my favorite socks by Balega.
Get a matching buffalo plaid shirt for your little at the GAP - I have this one for Raffa and it is so cute (and soft!). We twinned for the first time today in our plaid.
All this amounts to a great snowy, wintery outfit. Just enough style and a lot of warmth.

HI Chloe,
just started following your blog! I am Katherine Dixon's sister, met you, your husband, and little boy at Blair's bday party in July! Wanted to say hi, and I LOVE these boots too and have been trying to find them in my size (7) but seem to be sold out everywhere! any suggestions?? Would love to have a coffee or take a walk with you guys and Kat soon!!
Best! Andra G
Hi Andra! Good to hear from you! I can't believe July is already about six months behind us!!! These boots are awesome ... I got to use mine in this recent snow and I definitely recommend them.
They are kind of difficult to find right now, now that you say it! They have the black on Sorel's website in most sizes, but I the brown seems available in only very limited sizes. I would sign up on zappos.com to be notified when size 7 comes back in stock. If you go to the product page and select size 7, even though it is sold out it will ask if you want to be notified when it is back in stock. That's always a good way to do it; then you can jump on 'em when they are back in stock!
We would love to do a coffee or a walk ... let's definitely set something up!
these Caribou that are Sorel x Madewell are pretty cool too: http://rstyle.me/n/tkuwdm8sw
Thanks for the help! If I didn't already have black ones I would snatch these up! I am really digging the brown leather ones right now too. hmm i am gonna have to try to cram my feet into a size 5 I guess :) I tried to find the brown on Zappos and no luck. what do you put in for your search?? t
Love this post! All my warm leggings get too big in the thighs and waist by the time they're long enough. Based on the reviews of these, that won't be the case.:)
