I guess for practicality there alright but for style/looks kinda weird looking.
maybe if we lived in a weather CONDUCIVE CLIMATE where we could theoretically wear them 12 months a year - we might be swayed?
I live in Canada too!!!!!! That’s what knee high boots were made for. And stockings!! (But I think stocking with skorts-😣) My office is usually chilly but the boots help to keep warm.
I know, this weather sucks the life out of us. Dressing is like a mission. But if we can’t dress cute what do we have left 😩
this is what i have to wear RIGHT NOW. for the next 8 MONTHS.

expensive yes. but necessarily warm and cozy, the best coat i've ever owned and it's got a lifetime warranty. i do lots of bush walking so this is imperative
Oh wow props to you for not letting this nasty weather keep you inside. Come October i go from my house to my car and that’s it, back to my elliptical and treadmill in the basement.
That jacket looks cozy.
there's no other alternative for me so i do what must be done. Oh Canada - true north and all that BS
Why can't Canada step-up and get with the program?
Go invade some place like Costa Rica or Honduras ( it can't be that difficult. ).
Y'all will have a ready-made vacation spot and you can leave the whole 'Nanuck of the North' act behind.
That's what Florida is for (for people living in Quebec, anyway)2 -

This is pretty much the only reason online shopping (if you're using an aggregate like Amazon) is useful and can be more advantageous than in person shopping. I mean, I'm fat no matter what clothing brand I utilize, but at least with online shops, most clothing brands actually provide waist/hip/inseam measurements for their sizing, so I can figure out what is likely to fit based on measurements instead of the stupid arbitrary numbers they assign clothing. Also, I can read reviews from other people to find out how the item fits (too large, way too small, etc.). Been a boon for me personally toward finding clothing I want to wear and feel good in.
I've been fortunate that most of what I buy has fit based on utilizing measurements and just ignoring the vanity sizing.
Even worse is that sometimes, you'll find say.. a size 14 in two different brands and they don't even fit the same way! So what's the point?2 -

Mousetrap saga continues... Two days and no mice - yay!
To be safe, though.. I bought a "better" mouse trap this weekend. The mousetrap claims to catch and kill them more efficiently. So I go downstairs to check the traps this morning and what do I see? A live mouse, hanging by it's leg, off the rafter, trapped against the water pipe. So NOT ONLY did it NOT die, it hung by it's poor little mouse leg all freaking night.
I found a wrench to disengage the trap and took that it outside. I disengaged the trap and the poor thing scurried off.
I can't take much more of this. I can't kill them myself - even when they're hurt and I feel so upset (and pathetic for feeling that way). I can't stop thinking about how much it must be hurting and it's my fault.
Yeah a lot of you might be laughing at me, but it's horrible being stuck in this mind of mine. I can't stop thinking about what it must feel like, and its like I feel it myself. I am sick to my stomach about this.
"Happy" monday. sigh.4 -

I totally get it. I hate killing mice but don't want to share a house with them either. If they stayed in the basement I'd be okay with that. But they never do. My SIL knows she has lots of mice in her attic and said they're chewing up all her things in storage. I suggested traps and she said no way, she doesn't want to kill them.
I'm still stressing over the squirrel I ran over a couple days ago.
I was saying sorry to it and to any babies or family left behind. 
It's difficult having so much compassion for animals and the physical/emotional pain they suffer through too.
I remember when I went to adopt my dog and picked her up from her foster home; I made a comment to the person about wondering if my dog was missing her babies(she'd had a litter of 6 puppies while in the shelter and they were all adopted out). The lady said something about 'animals think very differently than we do and we cannot give them human traits like that'. Really?? Then tell me why animals form such bonds with humans?5 -

And really how on earth does anyone know what animals think? They show love, they show devotion, they show pain. We can't even figure out what other HUMANS are thinking, how on earth can we profess to know what animals think.
I'd feel the same way about the squirrel. And I do the same with the babies... worried I caught a mama and there are babies in a nest somewhere, starving to death.

@ReenieHJ It's our job. We're supposed to take care of critters as their pet parents and caretakers.
Out here we practice good animal husbandry. We have farmers, ranchers, livestock managers and hunters.
I'm watching a series on Netflix about dogs. Talk about bawl your eyes out. These dog stories are from all over the world. I just watched one about a fisherman and his dog on Lake Como, Italy. His dog is something else, helping him fish all day. You've just got to see it. Dogs have pure hearts.
You didn't mean to run over the squirrel. Out here we hit bull and cow elk, deer, cows, sheep, porcupines, gophers, squirrels and birds with our vehicles. Vehicles are totaled and people are seriously hurt. Families, kids, and babies. I've lost family on icy roads. A couple were hauling a load of baling wire on an icy patch on a steep mountain pass and went over a 500 ft embankment. We didn't find them for days because it was the dead of winter. I've lost other family members as we all do.
Little rodents multiply like amoebas. We can't have them in the house because they carry diseases. I've lost two other family members due to hantavirus after cleaning out an old garage due to rodents. They died within the same week.
Believe you me, there's been some hard rock candy Christmases around this outfit. The squirrel family will go on. I adore squirrels. Forgive yourself. Much love.

I can online shop for everything except pants and shoes. If I'm going to spend all day in them, I definitely need to know how they feel on me. Everything else is fine.
Honestly, as a woman...I hate clothes shopping!.I'd much rather go to Home Goods.
Being 6'1" with a size 11.5 - 12 shoe... clothes and shoe shopping sucks no matter how you slice it. I kind of have to shop in person because it's hard to tell where waistlines land, how long sleeves are... but most stores do not carry pants long enough (I need at LEAST a 36" inseam).
I hate hate hate shopping. It almost always ends in depression because nothing ever fits.4 -

I have the opposite problem: I have no problem finding jeans, skirts and most shoes (boots or anything that comes up the calf is different), but can't shop online for dresses, swimsuits and some shirts. Manufacturers seem to think all women have hourglass shapes, which we most assuredly do not. If I find a dress in a size that fits my bottom proportions, it is hanging off of my top due to my small bust and really small shoulders. Which is even made more awkward by the fact that I am in the plus size category.
So usually, I shop for what I can online (less people!) and buy other things in person (assuming the dress is something I can find in stores, anyway).
It really sounds like a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation for all women.

Even worse is that sometimes, you'll find say.. a size 14 in two different brands and they don't even fit the same way! So what's the point?
I can online shop for everything except pants and shoes. If I'm going to spend all day in them, I definitely need to know how they feel on me. Everything else is fine.
Honestly, as a woman...I hate clothes shopping!.I'd much rather go to Home Goods.
Being 6'1" with a size 11.5 - 12 shoe... clothes and shoe shopping sucks no matter how you slice it. I kind of have to shop in person because it's hard to tell where waistlines land, how long sleeves are... but most stores do not carry pants long enough (I need at LEAST a 36" inseam).
I hate hate hate shopping. It almost always ends in depression because nothing ever fits.
Ughh. That must really limit your options. I have the opposite problem with my height. At 5'2.5", everything is too long unless there's a petite section.
I'm with you...it's no fun.
You got that .5, yes?
I knew someone who was 5 feet and 1/2 inches and she would fight you if you forgot that half inch.1 -

This is pretty much the only reason online shopping (if you're using an aggregate like Amazon) is useful and can be more advantageous than in person shopping.

To be safe, though.. I bought a "better" mouse trap this weekend. The mousetrap claims to catch and kill them more efficiently. So I go downstairs to check the traps this morning and what do I see? A live mouse, hanging by it's leg, off the rafter, trapped against the water pipe. So NOT ONLY did it NOT die, it hung by it's poor little mouse leg all freaking night.
I found a wrench to disengage the trap and took that it outside. I disengaged the trap and the poor thing scurried off.
I can't take much more of this. I can't kill them myself - even when they're hurt and I feel so upset (and pathetic for feeling that way). I can't stop thinking about how much it must be hurting and it's my fault.
Yeah a lot of you might be laughing at me, but it's horrible being stuck in this mind of mine. I can't stop thinking about what it must feel like, and its like I feel it myself. I am sick to my stomach about this.
"Happy" monday. sigh.
Maybe have a contractor over to seal up your house better?2 -

Any food with the word pie has got to be the better choice.
Actually it was the Frito part that I wanted, haven't had those in years. 1
