This is what I like too - boots and scarves. I have a new pair of Joan & David knee high boots they're so comfortable, really happy to find good quality boots
Sweaters - I have so many. I even have a good number of sweater dresses.
Boots - Anything from ankle to knee high. I even love wearing my heavy winter boots.
North Face - Its rare for me leave the house without something from this brand on. From layering fleeces to vests to jackets to heavy winter jackets/coats. It's all about the right amount of warmth for any given temperature, especially in this city of wind and wide temperature swings within a week.
Turtlenecks - I must keep my neck/upper chest area warm or I am guaranteed to catch a cold or scratchy/sore throat during the winter. While I do like scarves as well, when in the office, I don't have to worry about adjusting, snagging, or accidentally staining a scarf while eating.
Cushioned, soft wool socks - I never really owned any until I went on my first ski trip a few years ago. Changed my life. My feet weren't just warm, they made wearing boots soooo much better. I can go all day without "boot fatigue".
I have a Ralph Lauren velvet sport coat that I love wearing around Christmas time. Paired with my Brooks Brothers tartan plaid sport shirts and some nice slacks, I feel really dressed up for the holiday parties. The RL was not on sale and I broke my own rule, never pay retail for anything. But it seemed to say "Buy Me" and I did. I haven't been sorry.
I live in northern california. This year has been such chillier than any recent years. Since our weather is pretty mild, I generally wear the same stuff year round. Though in the winter I do much simpler patterns, a lot of black and white, more solid colors. And I love patterned tights. I recently discovered that ankle boots are my favorite kind, so I wear those with dresses or skirts all the time. They give my generally "preppy" style an edge. Otherwise it is jeans and ankle boots and maybe a sweater. I don't have many stand alone ones.
Winter for us is generally the rainy season, so this year I got some chelsea styled rain boots to add to the rotation! I am struggling though as this is the first year I remember where rain and cold go together. Uncertain about what I will wear!
We don't get much of a winter here in SoCal, but I just love boots! Particularly knee-high ones in leather or suede. I wear them with sweater dresses when it gets chilly enough. I'm currently in the market for a riding type boot with a relatively flat heel that I could wear with jeans.
