Winter Musings –
On a toute le même problème en hivers, a Montréal (ou dans toute autre ville ou il fait super froid) c’est a dire, comment s’habiller quand on sait que 80% de notre corps va être couvert par un manteau d’hiver souvent absolument abominable? Sérieusement, comment évite-on l’effet bibindhomme? Y-a-t-il vraiment assez d’écharpes, de chapeau et de gants mignons dans le monde pour distraire du fait qu’on ressemble a un sac de couchage? Arrive la question ultime de l’hivers Montréalais: quand est-ce qu’il fait juste trop froid pour s’occuper de ses habits? Quand est ce que la santé et le confort physique prend le pas sur la mode? Pour moi cette question a été répondu en été 2011, quand je suis rentrée les pieds en sang a cause d’une paire de talons. J’ai boité pendant une semaine et mes pied ressemblait a un patchwork de pansements. Mais plus récemment: la semaine dernière Il faisait -27 degrés dehors et il y avait un un vent féroce. J’ai donc abandonner toute prétention d’élégance et je suis sortie avec le bonnet, l’écharpe les gants, les bottes poilus, le manteau en sac de couchage et les épaules rehaussés jusqu’au oreilles. Heureusement Elle Québec nous propose une sélection magnifique de manteau d’hivers chauds et sophistiqués. Bon le prix est ce qu’il est, mais on a bien le droit de rêver, non?
We all have the same problem during winter in Montreal (or any other really cold city): how the hell do you make a winter coat look elegant? There is simply now way to make goose down look tailored, and to not look like a sleeping bag when there is a snow storm raging on outside. So the ultimate question becomes: when is cold too cold to start not caring about your outfit? When does health and physical comfort start coming before fashion? For me the answer first came in the summer of 2011, when I came home with very bloody feet because of a less than comfortable pair of heels. I limped for a week, my feet looked like a patwork quilt made of bandaids and I never wore those shoes again without tights. But more recently, when it was -27 outside last week, and I finally dropped all pretense of making my winter outfits looke cute. There simply isn’t enough cute colorful hats and gloves and scarves to distract from my unflattering winter coat. Imagine my envy when Elle Quebec published this selection of amazing and warm outerwear. Damn the fact that I cannot afford a single one.
