Winter Layers

December 10, 2014

When it snows here it may not be the best idea to hop in the car and try to do donuts at every turn (ahem, Bruce) but that doesn’t mean you need to stay cooped up inside! Snow is a chance to bundle up and see the world through a new lens – covered in snow. When we had the first real snow of the year (and 0 degree weather) we thought a little walk around the block would be fun! Bruce and I bundled up and started walking around the neighborhood. I put on some of my favorite Athleta winter wear and my hardcore new Chaco boots. We took our camera and I tried not to be too nervous about the amount of snowflakes that were falling on it. Bruce snapped a couple photos of me and I love them because you can really see how cold it is – look at that pink nose.

Before you commend us for our crazy adventurous spirits and tough Colorado skin, it wasn’t long before our walk steered us back home so that we could stand over the heaters in the floors of our home. But a little adventure is always worth it. So don’t stay tucked in all winter – get out and explore and then come back home. Make some memories and enjoy each season as it comes.

PS: Are you looking for winter layers this season? I recommended Athleta. If you are local, one just opened in Colorado Springs at the Shops of Briargate. All the employees there are wonderful and will help you find just the right layers for you this season. If you are not from these parts, they are online! Free shipping over $50, free returns (at anytime!), and a lifetime guarantee. #fitisthenewblack
