First up, thanks so much for your love on our new GxHSP top yesterday! I can’t wait to see y’all styling your new spring style… and for more spring fun that’s just around the corner (#hinthint).
Dallas likes to say we enjoy all four seasons, but in reality, our winters typically only last a couple of months… and even those are peppered with sunny, 60-degree days.
So winter blues aren’t usually something we deal with (summer is a whole other story!). But after the last week of sub-zero temps, I can see how that would start to wear on you. Not to mention, the many months of working and schooling from home before the cold weather set in!
A real snowfall is rare around here, so we did what every Texan did… raced outside to enjoy it while it lasted! And never have I been more grateful for our collection of cold weather gear from Backcountry, much of it we grabbed during their Winter Yard Sale, going on now, with gear and apparel up to 50% off!

Growing up, it wasn’t uncommon to see kids playing in the snow with socks on their hands, three layers of coats, and soaking wet sneakers! We had a ball, but we never lasted long, with frequent trips inside to get warm and dry.
The Scandinavians actually have a saying that I can now vouch for!
‘There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing!’

I’ve gathered some great cold-weather gear in recent years (like this coat and these pullovers), but these boots were a new addition just before the storm, and WOWZA did they make a difference!
They’re not only comfy and warm (thanks to a furry lining), but water-resistant with serious tread that kept me from slipping! Definitely an upgrade from my old canvas sneakers, ha!
Fit Tip: I sized up half.

This puffer is perfect for mild Texas winters, with its lightweight and tall neck. But what it lacks in warmth, it more than makes up for in style and cuteness! And can you believe it’s under $40?!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small, but I don’t think it’s necessary to size up

These high-waisted leggings are thick and warm, with an airbrush finish that smooths all the lumps and provides great support.
Fit Tip: True to size, I’m wearing an XS
