Fall/Winter Fashion for the mountains. . . . . . . . . .

Heading north for a little trip to the mountains of North Carolina and into Tennessee

and Virginia. At last some dry sunny weather here, should be the same there BUT much 

colder, perhaps even down to freezing at night.

I'll be prepared.

I love cold weather dressing. 

Top coats, sweater coats, jackets, cardigans, felt cloche hats, voluminous
 wraps and chunky soft scarves, silky pashminas. Warm leggings,
 stretchy skinnies, ponte knit pants, all to tuck into boots. 

I bought this Lou & Grey sweater last week. I love the asymmetrical side slit, extra
 long sleeves which can be cuffed, high crew neckline to add a scarf, and the knit
 is soft and non-scratchy. The store, a spin off of LOFT, is just 2 minutes from
home - I've loved it since the opening just a year ago. 
The burgundy sweater is from H&M - inexpensive, but soft and comfy, with
a back neck zipper detail, longer back and curved sides. I also bought it in
olive - hey when you really like something buy extras.

Cool weather footwear - another favorite. Style and substance compared to flimsy

sandals and flip flops. Tall riding boots, short ankle boots, chunky lace-up Oxfords,
 classic loafers. . . . . .all kind to my feet on a cold day, often with my cozy polka dot,
striped, or cashmere socks, and of course that always great wardrobe item,
the scarf - can't have too many!

I found these burgundy leather wing-tip Oxfords in France last month
 and couldn't resist - good price to begin with and the store offered an
 extra 15% discount. They are so comfortable and I'm really enjoying wearing
 them - they are traveling north with me, along with a pair of tall boots.

Which season is your favorite when it comes to clothes?
