To say that the weather in Toronto has been cold would be an understatement. With a bone-chilling wind, and temperatures dipping into the -40s I think that everyone in this part of the country is in survival mode. As much as I am constantly trying to find a cold-weather alternative, sometimes a girl's just got to wear a parka. Granted, I am a little more deconstructed than normal for these photos (no mittens, open jacket etc.) but I'm a firm believer of sacrifice for blog photos. What would be the fun if everything was easy? Read on for complete outfit details and more photos.

It was a bit of an adjustment to get used to a top-handle bag, but now I'm a full-fledge convert. I love carrying this Pashli on the crook of my arm, and find myself rarely using the longer strap.
What's your cold weather go-to?

I am now convinced mustard and oxblood are the perfect colour combo. How do you look so lovely in these frigid temps?!

Thanks Gabriella - it's the photos, I assure you! ;)
DeleteHaha totally! I giggled when reading this post as I feel the exact same way. If I were to keep warm, they would all be of my parka, snow boots, mittens, hat and a scarf up to my eyes (and I'd look like just about every other Torontonian walking down the street). lol. Love this look! And that bag - totally adore it. So beautiful.
