Let’s Get Technical
Allow us to set the scene. It’s morning, it’s autumn, the leaves are crisp and crimson-ing, the air is chilly, the windows are cold to the touch, your morning tea billows a steam genie, your dog is barking about SOMETHING again (or is that your husband). Either way, the fall forecast beckons you to begin the day. You go through the list in your head: run, work, workout or is it ski slope, errands, exercise. Whatever it is, we know you saved like, 15 minutes to get dressed, and it’s go time.
The old you: Packs out with a day bag full of cold weather outfit options and waddles down the street looking like an over-layered doughboy.
The new you: throws on some cute, lightweight layers to keep you cozy throughout your adventure-packed day.
