Fashion at 5

Today it’s 5 degrees here in the frozen tundra of Michigan where I live.  Tomorrow I have a reception to attend for a friend who just got a judicial appointment.  So I was thinking what to wear.

Funny, I never used to worry because I always had just the right outfit to throw on — those nice little corporate ensembles that were hanging in the closet.  But now those outfits don’t really fit the me I’ve become as an entrepreneur career and life coach working from my home office. I mean, come on — some days I’m on the computer at 7am but not dressed until noon.  In fact, I recently found this great little bracelet I love that says:

Truly fabulous people never get dressed before lunchtime.

I digress.  The issue is what to wear tomorrow or more importantly to talk about how fricking cold it is!!!  Really, how can you be somewhat fashionable when it’s 5 degrees?  And do I care?  Yes I do because I’m up for a good heartwarming blog discussion.  So for those of you in the grip of this latest arctic blast, what’s your take on

Being cute in the cold?

    BRRRR is right… I also live in michigan an am experiencing this freezing weather! It was so cold today, my son wouldn’t even go out to play in the snow. On the looking professional note, I had several meetings around town on Friday and I brought two pairs of shoes — my practical winter boots and professional shoes (not to be touched by the snow). I think when it’s this cold out we have to try even harder to look our best and not let the winter blahs get to us.

    Good advice Tammy. I have that other pair of cute boots too! But I haven’t worn them much this winter. Maybe in midlife I’ve just become more practical about being comfortable.

    Celeste–

    Thanks for your feedback on the video. It was fun making it. And it’s good to hear from you. Hope you’re having a good start to 2009!

    I don’t envy your cold back there. Guess that’s why I stay in California. My take on “being cute in the cold” is it was a lot easier when I was 20 years old. LOL.

    Nice little video. You did a good job. I got a webcam for Christmas, but not quite up to it yet.

    Ladybeams–

    I so agree. It did seem easier to look cute in the cold when we were younger. Or maybe we just didn’t feel the cold as much–I don’t know which. But I’ll tell you California sounds really good right about now when we still have 2-3 months of winter weather left here in Michigan.

    Thanks for the feedback on the video. Must confess that it was filmed by friend Steve who’s a professional videographer. See more of his work on my sister site at http://www.midlifecareerpath.com.
