HI I LOVE YOU. I forgot to mention the brand of my winter boots (not that they're vintage or anything), but they're "Spring Step". Also didn't mention any thermal wear since I don't have any, but that would definitely help too! If you guys have any tips on what you guys wear to combat the cold, be sure to leave them in the comments!

Great video ! I never comment on anything (too shy, and English is not my first language, please be kind) but there are some tips that my grandma and mama gave me too keep warm and look fabulous in Parisian winter : If you are wearing a skirt : a slip and has many petticoats has you can fit under your skirt, without looking funny. Wool, thick cotton, velour or cashmere is the best to keep warm. On a regular basis, fabric from natural fibers are usually the best. Even if it make clothes more expensive, they usually last longer. (I can still wear the linen and cotton dresses from my great-grandma, and she was not kind with her clothes) Gloves : I wear two pairs ! I get some thin undergloves from winter sports shops and I add my pretty winter gloves on top, when it starts snowning. Multiple layers : For everything, really. I do the same thing with socks that I do with gloves ! My grandma would make me change if I did not were a tanktop under my shirt, and then my sweater and jacket/coat. On a very cold day I can wear up to 5 layers outside and 3 layers when I'm Inside. Shoes : invest in a very good pair and take care of it. I took me way too many shops but I found a pair of ankle high leather boots that I love. They were a bit expensive but I've been wearing then for 3 year (expect in the summer) I clean and wax (is it the good word?) them every month or so, and have the end of the heel replaced every year. Always carry an ombrella, especially if you do not own a good raincoat ! Winter fabrics are thick and take a lot of time to dry, getting then wet during the day is your worst ennemy, if you cannot change you'll end up sick ! And there is nothing worse than leaving school (or work) and noticing that your coat is still wet from the morning. My mama general advice on clothes : when you can spend money, you should buy expensive clothes if you are sure that they will last you ten years. You'll stop wearing a good suit when it no longer fits, not because it is falling appart at the seams. Love from France, you are a wonderfull and precious human being. Your videos are always a ray of sunshine in my day. Sorry for any English mistakes.

I just want a replica of your entire wardrobe

I’m just a guy tryna figure out how to keep his daughters warm you’re such a blessing thank you so much really helpful

4:26 the best thing ive ever learned about historical fashion is that in the 19th century and before, women would wear quilted petticoats- literally a blanket made into a skirt!

I dress Edwardian and sew my own clothes and trust me nothing feels better than putting on a camisole, than corset, than corset cover, than blouse. And layering thighs. And a long wool skirt. And I don't ever get cold. Like walking through knee high snow and taking off my coat because I was hot. Friend thought I was crazy when he saw me like that. But it's so comfy😊

I live for your style. I love that you wear vintage and it isn’t costumey. Like, you don’t go for the huge petticoats, you exemplify wearable vintage. It’s not like the girls who do go for the more costumey stuff are bad or anything, it’s just that it’s not what I like, ya dig? Keep on keeping on!

Oh man, thank you for naming the style of coat, it's super cute. That green sweater is adorable btw.

Layers. That's the answer to everything in winter. Here in northern Sweden we still layer like crazy, but with slightly altered materials. Back in the day it was mostly cotton, linen and wool. This is a translation of a text from the Nordic museum about what women wore after the second world war in winter: "An adult womans wardrobe could look something like this: A woollen winter coat; a filt hat for the head; a pair of brown, half-high leather heels; a pair of galoshes in brown or black rubber with a flannel lining to wear over the shoes in case of rain or snow. A woollen, straight skirt in a single colour or a woollen skirt of a wider model with pleats; a blouse in wool flannel with long sleeves; a hand knitted cardigan of Swedish wool yarn; a slightly fancier dress in a thin wool cloth. They knitted a lot, everything from stockings to two-pieces. Undergarments(tank top and pants with short legs) in silk charmeuse(mostly salmon pink). Full length socks in light brown rayon. A slip was worn underneath the dress." This is most likely a description based of off the standards in southern Sweden where winters are more soggy than snowy. I know that northerners worn, in addition to the above list, knitted hats, scarves and gloves in thick wool. Warm shoes, probably the same they used for skiing, and thick woollen socks were(and still are) a must when the temperature drops below zero.

as far as I know did vintage ladies layer up like no tomorrow when it got really cold. Since clothes were a lot more expensive back then, that could also mean grandpas old trousers underneath, or an old mans coats over everything else. They layered with what they had. But I guess they were not keen on getting fotographed like that, so most pictures seem to be of the rare occasions where they dressed up and cold be damned, because what will the in laws think if I turn up wearing winter boots! But one can save a lot the outfit with an awesome coat, so I really agree with you for that it is the most important :) I also like my long woolen skirts, aaaand underskirts help also a lot. layers layers layers! :)

Hi! Love your vintage looks. Being older, 67, I remember some of your vintage years, and have memories of Mom, Grandmother, and aunts telling of keeping warm in winter. I really think the main reason you don't get many winter pics to help guide you is because they were taking mainly pics of being dressed up, which they did less often in the winter. In the main, they dressed up less often/took photos less often (as little as possible!) in the winter. They usually dressed much differently then the special occasion pictures--and more warmly. Many women wore much heavier knit hose or stockings in the winter, often with wool in the blend, usually black (ugly according to my family sources.) My mother simply despised the long, itchy, hot black stockings she had to wear every winter until she was a teenager. [At least she was not sewn into them and her "combinations" (a loose, short legged, short sleeved union suit with a drop seat). Some of her classmates in the 1920s were! Mom said by spring their stench was pretty awful. TMI?] Her Grandmother wore the wool blend black stockings every winter as an adult. Whenever work needed to be done outside, Mom wore wool trousers over the stockings and/or long johns. I think her mom wore the wool stocking and/or long johns under long skirts, if some showed, so what! They lived in northern Illinois and Wisconsin. I remember in the fifties wearing heavier tights or stockings with dresses as a child, were often in colors to match the outfits. We girls in my classes also wore slacks under our dresses to school, took them off and hung them with our coats. Mother and my teenage sister wore hose with dresses, but often put long wool socks and warm boots on over the hose to travel, and carried dress shoes in a special bag--both to keep warm and save the shoes from damage.

Sometimes I even layer skirts to keep my legs a little warmer. My favorite combo is a ruffly cotton skirt underneath, which provides a lot of air pockets to trap heat, and wool on the outer layer. I've heard the key to staying warm is providing small air spaces (avoiding skin tight stuff aside from tights) around your body which can trap the warmth you make and keep you cozy. As an habitually cold person, though, I'm just going to have to be okay with looking like a cute sausage in the winter with all my layers.

Rachel: "What I'm gonna do is go through body parts, sections of the body.." Me: *pays attention in Med Student*

Fun fact, they used to have those overshoes that went over their cute regular shoes to keep the cute shoes clean and dry. I saw a lot of winter overshoes with fur rimmed tops and I NEED THEEMMMMMM. LOL also that last blooper is me every time I’m filming when the mailman comes to the door.

OK so I used to live in the cold tundra snowlands. The very first layer on the skin was silk long underwear. Wintersilks makes the thinnest lightest warmest! I could wear that under the rest of my clothes and I was ok. As long as my feet stayed warm and dry. First layer needs to be long sleeve, or I would freeze.

My grandma, who was born in the 20's, was working in the city when she was in her twenties, and since she came from a rural area, she had to walk 45 minutes to go to the train station. She was not allowed to wear pants, i don't think she had access to any thick Nylons and i truly don't know how she did during the winter! (I should ask her about the shoes!) She used to tell me : "The path was going down all the way, so we used to run to go to the station... it was quicker and we were less cold. But coming home was something else..."

Try bloomers, they are not that hard to sew yourself, they look cute and are an extra layer to keep you warm

Rachel: I put knee socks under my skirt in the winter and that keeps me warm. Me, watching in Finland: Oh, my sweet summer child.

I love the intro! When you said wool skirts can be a little itchy My response was AMEN! For me if my feet are cold the rest of my body is cold. When I wear long skirts that go to my feet in the winter I usually have long johns.

It's so interesting that I have the opposite experience. I live in the south where it gets much too hot and doesn't get that cold in winter, hardly ever snows or gets below 30 degrees in winter but we have plenty of summer days well above 100 degrees and high humidity. It is easier for me to dress stylishly (dandy/vintage menswear) in colder weather because I like to layer! Sometimes on the hottest days, wearing a short sleeve dress shirt and a vest and tie is just too hot and I don't like shorts so I'm stuck with jeans or slacks. But I can always add a cardigan and blazer over my dress shirt and vest (maybe even a tank top under all that) and put warm leggings under my slacks in the coldest weather. But I know if I wore dresses or skirts they would be so practical in summer, but I am just not a dress girl whatsoever!

God you're such a delightful human being ! And your editing is so fun and witty and gah. Your videos just brighten my days! ♡ Also, definitely needed this video for cold weather outfit inspo!

Finally someone talks about this! It´s almost imposiible to find some winter vintage outfits and tips. So thank you for this video. And I realized, that I wear scarves and shawls in vintage style for years! Cause I don´t like hats, I wear scarf wraped all over my head.^^

Im from southern california so we dont really get “winter”. When I went to London and Paris this past winter it was about 30° F while I was out there (plus a freak wind storm) and double layering nylons actually kept my legs pretty warm when I would wear a wool skirt that hit just below the knee (all under the pearl coat from collectif or a hell bunny coat that was a bit lighter than the collectif one). Hope this helps some of you out ❤️

Frodo looked like Pocahontas on the rock when he was singing hehe. Loved this video honestly your editing skills are amazing and you are so pretty I can’t cope!

Its July and I'm watching this xD And I really appreciate that you said sauna correctly, love from Finland ❤️

Stayed home from work since Im not feeling well, but this made my day. Mr. Frodo singing the song of his people is definitely good for the soul. He is just so darn adorable!! Hope you are feeling better yourself! BTW Christine's dog Izzy looks like a baby Frodo! I hope she keeps him!

I love vintage clothes, too, and, like you, I have trouble keeping warm in the winter. I fell in love with your wool riding coat!! Such style, and grace! Loved the full skirt on that coat, too! Where I live we don't get a lot of snow, but we do get some pretty raw windy weather! Since I work outside, it is difficult to stay warm and dry. (it rains a ton here) I can't carry an umbrella because I have a cart to push, so I simply get wet. (I live in Canada, on the West Coast, so it's very rainy) Your humour always makes me laugh. You're so cute and funny! You remind me of myself when I was in my twenties! I'm 61 yrs old, now, and a bit creaky in the joints, so winter isn't my friend. Thanks for sharing your tips for keeping warm while dressing in vintage style! Loved it all! Take care, and stay safe! ~Janet in Canada

GIRL. Winter vintage is so hard. I am from Boston, but live in DC now, and layering is the only way to survive the constant "oh crap it's so cold the wind hurts my face/oh my office is a thousand degrees" struggle!

When you say something and then are like "what?" Because you've confused yourself. Relatable ✔

I had my mink shawl coat design 1950 vintage and a 1920 mink hat to match, my reversible bomber jacket is made vintage 1941 with mink on one side and lambskin on the other side and the hat I design myself, I also have another mink French beret hat with a vintage design shawl sweater. I really did not think about vintage clothing but love the 1950's design coats and everywhere I go a lot of older people ask if my mink coats are vintage. A beret hat style will really look great on you and it is a vintage style which will compliment your vintage coat. Now, I am taking up sewing my own vintage garments; a 1940's blouse which looks just like purchased at a vintage store. I will be sewing a 1941 dress out of rayon knit with flowers which were popular in that year. I only have been sewing for 3 months and collected vintage patterns; I can purchase vintage fabric which is great. great video

Don't forget about wearing a thicker dress under a skirt! Wearing two skirts can really help keep you warm. That's what I always do on much colder days. It also expands my wardrobe! And as far a tights go, fleece lined is a must!

BOI DO I AGREE. Honestly, any fashion is so much harder to pull off in extreme weather, whether hot or cold-- So new tips are always welcome 8D Thank you a lot !!

For shoes - invest in insulating soles, which you then can change between your shoes for warmer feet ;)

Sadly I live in Hawaii, so.. its never cold enough for me to even wear a sweater. Im adding all these to my wishlist for future cold weather cute survival clothes.

I live in Boston!! And I've got some additional tips. I don't wear vintage really but I do wear ONLY skirts, no pants, and I have to walk to work no matter the weather. Most of my skirts are wool and all below the knee at least. I have all thick knit leggings and fleece-lined tights, and I'll often double or triple them when it's particularly cold. Whatever has the smoothest surface goes inside because that's easier to slip on or off. I'm sure wearing regular pants under a skirt could work great but don't rule out wearing tights under even those, and never be afraid to triple your socks, especially if your boots aren't too insulated or you want to wear another type of shoe. In my experience wool is significantly less insulating than goose down BUT very good with wind resistance. I've been looking into some fleece lined tank tops and other under-layers because I know even just wearing an extra shirt can help a lot.

Your bloopers are amazing, it is my second favorite part of watching your videos!

Layers are the secret! You are looking classy, sassy and warm! That yearbook photo tho...glad I hadn't taken a drink, cuz that cracked me up soo bad. Maybe cause around these parts, -30 C is common in the winter and I think my yearbooks might have a few pics like that. lmao

They should make a barbie model out of you.Im 27 , but id still buy it 😂 Seriously, im loving the look today.

As a Californian, it’s actually the easiest season for me. I don’t own many nice looking shirts with short sleeves but I do own some nice overwear and such.

I would love to see a video like this for your new style, the winter hobbit!! 🥰

like the bear ears ! Happy new year !

I spent 5 years in Yellowknife, NT. I had to give up all sense of style when it came to warmer outerwear. When it's literally -40 you give up. Thankfully I live somewhere with normal winter and I love my peacoat for layering under and keeping toasty.

Oh my gosh Frodo is just too adorable. I know lots of friends sing the praises of fleece lined tights.

I have a trench coat and it's super soft wool and it's like a skirt at the bottom. Lovely thing.

I live in Oklahoma City and it doesn't often get too cold but occasionally we get arctic blasts like the one we had last week. It got down to 7 degrees F in the mornings. Brrrrrr. I like to use leggings or tights under my pants then a nice thick pair of socks and then boots. I'm not 100% vintage but like to give little nods to vintage. If I do wear skirts or dresses I wear maxi ones with leggings or tights as well.

I love Frodo so much❤️ he is a real cutie, also I’m so jealous of your image in general, clothes and all ❤️

I don't dress in vintage, but I wear dresses 96% of the time. As well, most of Australia has mild winters, except for Tasmania and maybe Victoria. Thanks for some great tips!

Rachel, you just look stunning! Your outfit, hair, and makeup here is just PERFECT!😍

I've been waiting for this all my life and it's perfect. You rocked it and looked amazing and your tips are on point !

I love that you hid from your neighbor! It made me laugh because I do that too! 😂

I have those same boots in three different colors, and I pretty much live in them all winter and a lot of Spring and Fall! I love them!!

Personnal tip: if you live someone that gets a lot of snow, go for skirts that reach mid-calf instead of full length. That way it won't drag in the snow and sand and salt, and your boots will cover the exposed part of your legs anyway.

I LOVE your style. This video is too cute!!

You remind me of judy garland today in this video 😍

Ooooh, you're not wearing an underskirt/ underdress, especially in winter!? 😱❄ Sacrilege! Some people have mentioned it, I think silken underwear is a great start in winter. 👍🏻 Also I now understand that part from "Swing Time" (1936) so much better, when Fred&Ginger go to the countryside in winter, the snow is almost knee high and she's wearing the *thickest* fur coat but basically pumps with it. And then she's like all romantically "I'm cold..." 😟 And Freddie's like "You know, you'd wanna be wearing galoshes." 😳 Hahaha, that is hilarious, now especially after all the explanations here. 😂🤭 Thank you, you're all great! 🥰

Just came across this and had to comment: my maternal grandmother told me years ago that winter time here in North East Tennessee was a colder than say in the past 40 years or so and around here the ladies actually wore flannel petticoats and like WW2 heavy cotton stockings. Plus ankle or shin high over shoes. Also rabbit fur ear muffs and hand muffs. Probably even some heavier cotton gloves that came up midway between wrist and elbow. I can remember some of those things from when I was very young, especially on women at church.

Notification squad? 💕🙋🏻‍♂️ Side note: Thank goodness I live in Phoenix so there is never extreme cold 😂

Vintage for bigger chested women? It would be so useful tbh, but probably pretty much the same thing?

i’ve been looking for the perfect princess coat for almost 2 years now and i’m at the point where i actually kind of want to sew it myself... my skills are sooo subpar lol but my mother can help and i’d get to choose the fabric myself..... so tempting

Tips from a Canadian: fleece lined tights/leggings (not vintage but do you want to be warm or not?), multiple pairs of socks!, two pairs of gloves!, also cape over your coat if your coat is more vintage than winter (you can make a poncho cape thing by taking any basic small blanket and cutting a slit in the middle of it halfway up and finishing the edges so they don't fray, congrats it's a cape/cloak thing!).

I will sing the song of my people!! Hahaha omg! The best

I know it's a bit pricey but I have silk undergarments, a tank top and leggings so that's always my first layer (on top of my underwear of course) so comfortable and keep u warm. If it's very cold I have a pair of thicker leggings on top and wool over knee socks with a thinner pair of socks under. Haha, layering is key. A nice wool sweater and skirt... I don't have a nice coat tho, I love your coat but me I would feel so uncomfortable in such a feminine coat, strange I know since I wear a dress / skirt under it. Anyways. Love you style 😍

Hi Rachel! You are a hoot and always make my day when I watch you. I too live in Massachusetts and yes the winters here can be quite cold (especially this winter!) I am a skirt girl as well so yes I wear winter leggings(extra heavy and warm) which I got from American Apparel, and they are soo very warm. When snowing I wear boots that I got from the Bass outlet and they look like vintage Nordic boots with fur lining and they keep my legs and feet warm as well. On those cold rainy and slushy days I wear my Hunter wellies with knitted sock warmers that fold over the top and they look so cute with my long princess coat. I am trying to find more wool skirts but just haven't found too many in my size. Layering like you say is the most important way to stay warm, scarves, gloves and hats are always a must. I enjoyed your video very much, you are so cute and funny! Keep up the good work here and stay true to yourself!

I LOVE your super boss lady winter trousers. I live where it barely gets cold so I'm looking at your cold weather cute outfits with longing. xx

Any1 else love the bloopers as much as I do? Lol

I'd also suggest wool stockings and wool underwear!

You should really do a video on how you wash and care for all of your beautiful vintage clothing. And that's what kind of scares me off from trying the vintage style....👍👍👍

I bet that if I say that I live for the last part of your videos it could be misconstrued. ❤️😂 I honestly shiver at the thought of both my nonnas in middle-of-the-war Italy 😖 out and about maybe in wool socks, def no stockings, coats made of blankets and summer dresses as going out dresses 🌬🤧 No joke my 40s dresses are all for spring/summer, I have to admit I rely heavily on my safety-net decade, the 60s. I layer as much as possible, I don’t have termals but every single layer does count! I find that natural fabrics like wool and cotton keep me warmer than acrylic. I froze my butt in short coats for ages but now I found a fur coat in a suitable shape to look older than what it is (80s doing 60s) and I found the perfect green parka for a mod look. As for shoes, because my feet get icy too (my chelsea boots and fave knee boots have a thin sole), I buy the thickest insole I can find, you know the ones with thicc wool and aluminium at the base? Plus socks on top of tights.

Have you tried sheepskin insoles? I haven't tried them (YET) but I did get a couple of pairs of wool socks this winter and my feet are finally snug and happy!! I got some merino wool ones from sierra trading post and I'm usually allergic to wool but my feet are ok with these! Oh! Would you be into doing a posture/posing for pictures video? (I scrunch up like a lil snail and it ruins the line of my clothes. Then i remember and then I have a bunch of weird creases)

This is the closest thing to a blessing I have ever received! If you have any tips on how to handle the rain (and I mean RAIN), please enlighten me (us?) ;)

I'm so glad that we don't have that cold weather where I live. The coldest it gets, and that's usually at night, is around 34F. But I do enjoy bundling up. Need a new coat after seeing yours. It is harder to dress vintage when it's cold. I can't wait for spring.

I absolutely adore those trousers with the boots. LOVE that look!!

.When I watch this sort of videos it drives me nuts that you wear so little in very cold and snowy weather.. I'm in Israel with at least 3 sweaters on and sometimes doubling on very thick tights. How are you not cold with only one warm layer beside the coat?! Good video overall but I would love for someone to talk about doubling on sweaters and still looking nice and elegant. short sleeve with a cardigan is for Fall.

Can you also do a similar video for summer? :D

The last bit with your neighbors was so funny. I love your coat!

Also remember hats! A lot of your warmth escapes from your head so trapping that under a layer helps you stay warm. Pair your hats with vintage hat hairstyles, it'll be warmest if you keep your hair out in vintage waves/curls. The hats: Beanies have been around for a long time, just be mindful of the colours and yarn type, for example acrylic yarn is a more recent invention, try for wool if you're unsure. Bérets also work, again the key is the material and to avoid certain colours like glittery, metallic types or neons. You can also wrap a scarf over your head and pin it into place as though you are planning to drive down a highway with the roof of your car down.

My little egg doth return! Hope you're feeling better bb.

Yaaasss! It's so hard to look good when it's cold (or hot!) let alone vintage! You're killing it, girl!

I was thinking about the old photos and I imagine that most women were still home makers and didn't have to go on long commutes to work. Like you said, they probably weren't outside very much. I totally struggle with winter vintage. I mean we really do have to stay warm and its such a drag!

It was quite a rare occasion when you got photographed, so of course women were using their nice high-heeled shoes for the photo! Otherwise they surely wore warm winter boots or overshoes. And in old knitting magazines you can find patterns of knitted stockings - that is what they used to wear in winter, with woollen pants under the skirt, too.

Very useful video! Weather is getting cold again here in Portland, OR. For some reason the weather always gets warmer in January then snaps back in February. I have some thermal wear tips too: Uniqlo's heattech line. They have lots of different styles so it's easy to find something that will work underneath vintage pieces. It's a little pricey, but I've been using the same pieces for 4 years. Also, back in the day, people (regardless of gender) would wear shoe covers over nicer footwear in the winter, sometimes lined with fur other warm materials.

Meanwhile where I live in Arizona highs for the winter are in the mid 70's lol But my love for winter and snow are still strong. Stay warm, Rachel ☕😊

you can find things in odd places if you know what to look for. I found a vintage look coat at Old Navy probably 10 yrs ago at this point, just had to fix the cheap lining. I live in Rhode Island, my desk drawer at work is full of cute shoes in the winter, so I just commute in my winter boots. Layers are the way to go. I previously had a 20 min walk to my office, bought a kiddie snow overall that I wore over my work clothing and removed when I got to the office, co-workers though I was weird, but I was warm, and could still dress cute!

I just found this video 🥰 I live on the north shore of Lake Superior, in Canada. It gets to -40 (at this temperature, it’s the same in Fahrenheit or Celsius)...then there’s the wind chill 🥶 . Layers, layers, and more layers 🧦🧤🧣parka😆

Brilliant, and hilarious editing! I LOL’d @ “I will sing...the song of my people”. You crack me up! Thank you for all of your hard work for our amusement, Rachel! Stay warm.

You and your videos never fail to improve my mood, thank you for being you! Just you as an individual are awesome.

I love your winter skirt, black tights and boots. 👗👗👗👗👢👢👢👢💋💋💋💋💄💄💄💄💅💅💅💅😍😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️♥️🔥🔥🔥🔥

I'm obsessed w your videos. Love love love. Especially the music!!! Love your style.

tights, or pantyhose, sometimes up to three pairs at once! and spencers. ( long sleeved undergarments) and peticoats or half slip.. most warmth came from underwear. also HATS.. hats, berets, and cloches. "if your feet are cold, put a hat on". it works!

I have a few tips! 1. Wear pants under a skirt. If the skirt is long it won't be as noticeable! 2. This is something I know old folk ladies would do- Wool socks! 3. Back to the old ladies- If you notice how Matryoshkas look, you can tie yourself up that way. You may look like a ball-shaped old lady, but it works to keep warm. Basically, look to Russians if you want to know how to keep warm. 3. Put cotton balls in your ears. I have to do this because otherwise, my ears will hurt from the wind. 4. Fur coats can be pretty vintage, as can anything fur. Hope it helps!

Please please do a video about fav handbags or what type of bags to wear with vintage outfits ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for the winter advice, I live in the mountains of Norway and the first snow has arrived

I could really use more of this info/inspo for vintage-y winter dress. I'm sure you've learnt a lot more in three years.. Perhaps a talk about what fabrics are good for winter (ie polyester no, wool yes)..?

So, since I'm Canadian, and winter is coming, you made me very interested in what was available in the 1950s. Googling "Sears 1950s winter catalogue" was very interesting. Lots of wool. Low boots with thick fur trim. High laced "hiking boots" like yours were there, Rachel, and I think $11.95!

Love the bolo tie!! Have never seen feminine bolo ties before, yours is lovely!

I love these , I didn’t know anyone else loved dressing in the 40’s , “ vintage “ I love to feel classy and women dressed classy even in casual wear it was classy !

What a great video! I, too, am always cold, so I feel ya sister. You're giving me great ideas for making skirts, too, so thanks!

Love this video! This is the first "keep warm in winter while stylish"-video I have seen that actually is connected to the reality of cold! Though, I live in a much colder place, this was very informative. I dress kinda like that, but much more layers (and not as stylish as you). At the moment it is -17 degrees Celius/0 degrees Fahrenheit where I live. That means: Thermoleggings under my normal leggings, wool socks over my normal socks, winterboots that is one size bigger than my normal boots, so my wool socks can fit in, a cardigan with really long sleeves so there is no gap between the sleeves and my winter gloves. I had a winter beanie and a scarf the last time I went outside, but I consider taking two scarves the next time... An of course some "normal" layered clothes and a coat. When it's really cold I usually have "warmth trousers" (I don't know the English word for them, but it's like bulky trousers you put on top of your clothes when you go outside) under a maxi skirt. Then I keep warm, but the bulky "warmth trousers" don't show and I (hopefully) look stylish. At the moment I am searching for a good vintige winter coat, the one I have now is wonderful, but quite short.

Winter tip from the actic circle.. Galoshes!! I live in Sweden and I wear them over my nice vintage oxfords. Once at the office just slip them off! You will have nice dry feet that are not boiling while inside.

Great ideas! Makes me want to make a wide, faux fur lined scarf - two birds, one stone. Works as a scarf, also as a warm hat when it's wrapped around my head. My daughter lives in Kansas and she wore skirts all winter a couple of years ago. She said she was warmer than with pants because of the layering. Makes sense.
