Snow dusted the tops of Mount Bachelor late last week, and so after taking our last paddle of the year as the water will become too cold and I don’t have a drysuit to wear and I doubt Norman wants to take the chance of falling in, I put the paddle onto its storage hooks and took my skis in to be waxed. After all, when the first snow arrives, you don’t want to be waiting in line to sharpen up your toys. 🙂

All of this is to say, taking walks and being outside whether to wander through the leaves or bundle up to savor the snow when it falls requires the right outerwear. From shoes to coats to scarves, I have got you covered today (pun intended!).

I have shopped for four different items, all found at varying price points: Puffer coats that can withstand the rain and the frigid temperatures – short, medium and longer lengths; Hiking shoes for dry trails, yet ensuring your feet are wearing something with traction without the weight; Snow boots for walking but not super heavy, so you can take a decent, long stroll; and Scarves, beautiful, cozy accoutrements for the neck to brighten your face and complement your winter coats already hanging in your closet waiting for the weather to cool down so they too can be part of the sartorial festivities.
