Picture this, the snow is falling on a scenic castle in the middle of one of the worlds most enchanting places. You’re bracing yourself from the whip of a cold wind and the start of a winter storm. Suddenly, you realize that the expedition to get coffee across from your hotel may not have been worth it but you sure do feel cute.
These were all the emotions and thoughts running through my head as a ventured out for my daily caffeine fix. Only this time, I was in one of a beautiful city I’d never been to. This past weekend, I had the honor of attending a friends wedding in gorgeous Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. Known for it’s incredible geographical wonders and wildlife, this park is absolutely a dream. From daily hikes where moose trotted along in the distance to amazing dining experiences filled with Canadian classics. I found my jaw on the floor more times than I can recall but I must say, if you ever have the chance to visit, you absolutely have to!
This outfit from Scotch & Soda served me well as I went about my sightseeing. I kept warm thanks to a chic wool blend jacket in a cheeky houndstooth design. One thing I made sure to remember is layers! Paired with a rib knitted long-sleeved tee, the jacket pops and I stayed warm on my walk. Staying stylish when the weather drops into the single digits (and below 0) is no small feat. To complete the look and stay on trend (hello, pleats!) I decided on these amazingly comfortable and functional slim fit dress pants.
Slip free is the way to be when stepping out in the Canadian tundra. For my footwear choice, it was all about complementing my look with an appropriate boot. Perfect for light snow and with waterproof features, I felt peachy in light snow in these gorgeous Chelsea boots.
So now that I’ve survived the great white north with a fashion minded midday stroll, I want to know how do you prepare for a late spring cold-snap?
