Function + Form: Lands' End Duck Boots

Snowy weather really makes me irate, peeps. But not for the reasons you'd expect. No, most of all, snow FUCKING PISSES ME OFF because it means that I have to wear non-delightful footwear that I despise, which in turn, really impacts what I can wear on the rest of my body. I know, I know, it's Deep Thought Central over here. But I digress.

My rage was tempered just in time for this week's snowfall, when I snagged these rad-ass Lands' End Duck Boots.

I love that these boots are beyond classic, but also mildly ironic. They also keep my feet warm and dry, and (IMPORTANT) my body upright on the icy sidewalks.

What's your snowy weather footwear of choice? Tell a sister all about it in the comments - with links if necessary!

Outfit of the Day: Toasty Warm

Do you see that smile? Let me tell you something. That's the smile of a warm woman. A woman who will place her faith in down. A woman wearing a new Lands' End Luxe Down Coat, to be a bit more precise.

The refined shape of this puffer, along with available Petite sizing (I'm in a Petite Small above), makes for an ultra-flattering fit. Beyond the down (600 fill), this coat includes too many toasty warm details to count, including a Dri-Off finish to repel snow and water, concealed fleece cuffs and fleece-lined pockets (the best surprise imaginable on a cold day!

I have a sneaking suspicion that this coat will be my savior come January...but here's how I wore it today:

• Ray Ban Wayfarers
• Lands' End Petite Luxe Down Coat
• J Brand Houlihan in Vintage Olive
• Loeffler Randall Eliza (no longer available)

 

FTC Disclosure: Lands' End coat received for potential review.
