Good morning and happy Hump Day!
I hope that all of my friends in the North are staying warm. It’s another cold week in these parts. Life in Canada, right?
To help battle the frigid temperatures, my uniform over the last week or two has consisted of a chunky scarf, a cardigan, and pants similar to these woman uniform pants. It’s been too cold to wear skirts or dresses, which is a bummer. I’ve had fun outfit ideas in mind involving some of my skirts, but they’ll have to wait until we get into a January thaw.
As a company, we have a lot of events planned in the near future, specifically the summer months, and there has been discussion of us wearing a certain type of uniform to help raise the profile of the company and event. I’d heard something about these printed t shirts and how we were going to customize them with all of the relevant information so that people would be able to recognize who was working and who wasn’t. I have to say, I’m quite looking forward to this, as sometimes it can be hard finding the best outfit to wear to work every day. It will be nice to have that break. Although, I am pretty sad that I can’t make the most of the skirts that are sitting in my wardrobe, as it’s just too cold at the minute. I have a bit of a hike into the office and I’d like to feel my legs when I get into work 😉
In the meantime, I’m getting a lot of wear out of my pants, especially my corduroys. They’re the perfect winter staple, and work well for work or weekend wear.
Earlier in the season, I found a great pair of cords from LOFT and have been wearing them far more than I’d like to admit. It was just natural that I had to pick up another pair when I spotted them in my size…and on sale.
What I’m Wearing:
Cardigan – Madewell (Similar)
Tank – Joe Fresh (Similar)
Pants – LOFT (Same)
Scarf – Gap (Newer Version)
Booties – Sam Edelman via Marshalls (Similar)
Necklace – Made by Me (Tutorial Here)
What do you consider to be part of your winter uniform?
Shoshana says
Super cute casual attire. This look is cozy and well put together. I love that your cords and scarf compliment eachother but you don’t get the feeling that it’s too matchy matchy. (something I totally hate). Not sure of the temps in Canada but I can only imagine. I just returned from our ski house in Vermont. Temps dipped to 2 degrees. That’s as cold as I can handle.

Jackie says
I know matchy matchy gets a bad rep, but I like pulling these subtle patterns out of accessories.
WOW – Vermont sounds like it’s about as cold as it is here. I can’t really handle it either, believe me.
Alecz says
It is so cold in Canada! But this outfit looks like it can withstand the freezing. Great scarf, and I love the necklace and boots you chose. Really nice!

It’s way too cold for me up here…but the warm weather accessories do help.
Head to Toe Chic says
LOVE the color of you pants!! They are so perfect with your scarf!
xo,

Jackie says
Thank you!! I know it’s a bit lame to be too matchy…but I can’t help it! haha
Rach says
Stay warm Jackie!! That scarf though sure looks cozy and pairs so well with your burgundy cords! Love!

Jackie says
Thanks!! I have a bit of a cozy scarf obsession these days…
Meghan says
I LOVE your cardigan. I was not surprised to find that it was Madewell. I’m so addicted to their stuff now. It’s such a pain too because it can be so pricey! This outfit certainly looks warm and quite livable. Some of the other blogger gal’s winter dress codes I’ve seen have not been nearly as practical.
Jackie says
Thank you!! I LOVE Madewell, but what drives me nuts is that I only get to a store about once a year. No Canadian locations, and I’m scared to see what sort of duties/brokerages would come from an online order.
hannah says
That scarf is so gorgeous! I wish we had snow here!!

If you don’t have cords, now’s such a good time to grab a pair on sale and see if you like them!
Ashley says
Ooooh I love the color of those cords! I have been looking for the perfect pair of army green cords for a while with no luck 🙁 They are just the coziest pants!
Jackie says
Ahh these ones came in army green earlier in the season. I guess being pregnant and all, you weren’t going to have the best of luck 😉
