    Can't wait to see the extreme cold one! 🎉
    Most fashion content creators I watch live in Europe and have same wardrobe for fall and winter, but where I live it's two completely different seasons! Coats and boots are for fall only, in winter one wears fur or down jackets, shoes lined with wool or fur all along (also, even if you add wooden socks etc, most fall boots are too slippery for the snowy weather). Lots of knits, hats and mittens lined with fleece, and thermal undies when you mean to stay outside for longer than just a commute or smth 🤷🏻‍♀️💅🏻

    I bought the UniQlo HeatTech shirts with the 9% cashmere and oh my lanta do they keep me warm! I hate wearing coats during the winter unless absolutely needed, so their shirts are amazing and a steal for the price too! I'm counting down the days until they come out with a legging version, but who knows if that'll happen.

    Great video. I have just upgraded my thermal base layers to merino, and it's been a game changer! A woolen headband is a staple for me, as it keeps my head warm, but vents, so not too hot. I love merino socks too. That red jumper is perfect on you - a better shade than the red cardigan you have been undecided about. Thanks Christina. In Cornwall UK a winter staple is also a warm and WATERPROOF coat -it's really wet here! Merry Christmas.

Luckily I live in Los Angeles where I don’t really need these type of fabric.

    Here in Scottsdale, Arizona we don't have extreme winter weather. In fact, the last few days high temperatures were 80 degrees. It's so hard, because I love winter clothes over summer clothes. It does get cold in the early mornings and evenings averaging 45 degrees. So, your ideas about layering come in handy for me here. Thanks for the video.

    Wool socks (sometimes I double layer them), wool beanies, silk or wool blend scarves, leather and wool lined gloves, shearling earmuffs, merino wool blend cami and capri as under garments. These are my go-to for sub zero weather. A wool cashmere blend oversized long coat is truly a hero piece. It has to be light in weight otherwise I wouldn’t use it. I prefer it than a long puffer. I wear puffer sweater like Patagonia or TNF under the long coat, too.

    I've recently gained weight that I really want to shift (and that's harder to do as you age, so great.). I have some lovely winter clothes... for my smaller self. So annoying. Still haven't found the perfect coat, although I have found a really lovely vintage brown leather bomber jacket that is super warm and that will go over practically anything I want to wear under it. Great for my more casual style, not so great when I want to dress up and need a more dressy coat. But. I'm trying to remember that I don't need to buy All The Things all at once. You're such an inspiration for how changing habits can really help change a lifestyle for the better.
    Now... if all the lovely colours that are in will still be in when I'm back down to my ideal weight, that'll be perfect...

      Leggings/tights with knee high boots and a skirt that goes at least to your knees or lower. That way your legs have at least 2 layers on from top to bottom but no one ever sees the leggings. Also wearing more than one skirt (aka petticoats/slips/underskirts etc.) is a secret lost to time for real, so few people ever bring this up.
