Impossible Outfit: Keeping Warm and Looking Cool
Dear Paper Doll,
The winter chill is setting in—oh, how I dread this time of year! I was raised, and spent all of my fashion-formative years, in a tropical climate. I am blessed with the gift of being able to both look and feel cool when it’s 100 degrees outside (and I can tie a sarong into no fewer than 18 stylish configurations). But now, as a recent transplant to the Northeast, I have no idea how to bundle up while still looking sleek and fashionable. Any tips on what to wear so that I can look fabulous without sacrificing warmth?
Thanks,
Ice Queen
