Babe on a Budget: Winter Wardrobing

Colder B.C weather means cosier clothes

By Stephanie Trembath, Life and Style Editor

s a result of the snow last week A« getting trapped on Burnaby

Mountain for several hours, I had the opportunity to spend my afternoon studying for exams in the quit halls of SFU with the other poor saps that got stranded (which of course I didn’t do). Instead of prepping for finals, I spent the better part of my evening browsing the internet for comfy winter clothes that I lack in my wardrobe. Despite my growing up in the Prairies, where leaving the house between October and April with even an inch of skin showing results in frostbite, I have very few articles of winter wear to save me from the dropping temperatures.

After surveying my winter wardrobe, consisting of leather gloves, two cashmere scarves, a pair of grey-heeled boots, and a lovely fur-lined leather jacket with large shoulder pads, I decidedly made a list of weather repellent clothing suitable for B.C babes on a budget to purchase to ward off the cold.

1) Check print cape from Zara: $120.

2) UO olive green rain boots: $40

3) Thigh-high socks from American Apparel: $18

4) And although I am definitely not brave enough to wear one,

nor do I have the ability to pull this particular fashion item off, for those of you who can rock it- a trapper hat will keep your little ears warm and looks really sexy on the right person. Found at Urban Outfitters for $38.

There you have it; a list of warm, weather repellent wear that will carry you through the winter season amid the slushy snow, terrible drivers, and copious amounts of wine to be consumed this Christmas holiday. Just don’t wear all four items together or you will look like a fashion crash victim rather than a style savvy babe on a budget.
