Necessary Winter Items

If you are considering moving to Seattle, I will let you know of a few things you will definitely need.

1. A great pair of rain boots. 
I got mine for Christmas and have used them a ton (thanks Mom & Dad!).

I got the Hunter Regent Savoys and love them.  The quilted
pattern is cute but the insides are also very warm.  I feel like
they say 'I'm fashionable, but also practical'...so Seattle haha!

2. A breathable rain jacket. 
It doesn't seem to rain very hard here, but it is misty quite a bit so you never know when you'll need to put on a light weight rain jacket.  Will got me one as a post-Christmas present because I'd been eyeing it for about a month or two.  And, it was on sale.

The Mammut Adamello
I love the design and thought the flowers on the
shoulders were cute.  I later found out that they
also serve as support for where your backpack straps go.
There I go again, being all practical ;)

3. Long down coat.
For anywhere and everywhere. Warm, cozy, need I say more?


I went with Patagonia.  I love it, and if you are kind of
petite like me, then you can get away with buying one
in the girls department for half price.



So, those are my tips.  Chances are, I'll be wearing one of the above three in any photos posted on my blog over the next few months.
