<p>I don't get winters anywhere near as bad as some of y'all in the US and Europe do, but I did a trip not so long ago to Tasmania in the middle of their winter. I really just wore a lot of my summer dresses, but added thick wool leggings and tights, wore my Doc Martens, then layered with long sleeved shirts underneath and cardigans or sweaters over the top, then a scarf and a big coat!

<p>Now that is a question ;)</p>
<p>Without owning a pair of them yet, I'm not sure; I have a pair of sort-of slouchy/zipper-free heeled knee boots (kind of like these: <b><a href="http://tinyurl.com/lw7h3yp" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/lw7h3yp</a></b>), which is my only option at the moment, as the only other pair of boots I own probably aren't long enough to turn capris into trousers.</p>

<p>That's not a bad idea actually Sammi, plus they're a heck of lot easier to slip in under boots. Are there any kind of boots styles or brand you'd specifically recommend?</p>

<p>I can only echo what the other ladies have said. I live in Minnesota and last year was one of the worst winters EVER as far as temperature goes. We were below 0 (F) for days in a row as the daytime high. Shudder. I don't even want to think about that now. So I work in an office. I just need to get from the house to the car and the car to the office so luckily I'm not outside long. I usually wear a skirt and top with a crinoline and tights of some sort.

I just need to get from the house to the car and the car to the office so luckily I'm not outside long. I usually wear a skirt and top with a crinoline and tights of some sort. If I wear a dress I usually have a sweater over it. I wear boots that are warm and have a good tread (I change into heels when I get to the office). I have a Hell Bunny coat with a fur collar that I wear too. Sometimes I wear ankle length or swing trousers with a sweater or top as well.</p>
<p>Now if I'm going outside for a long period of time (because in Minnesota during the winter we have lots of festivals - otherwise we'd be indoors for 6 months straight) then vintage and pinup goes out the window and I just dress so I don't freeze to death. :-)</p> I did a quick google search f…tag:www.pinupgirlstyle.com,2014-08-20:6504043:Comment:3487072014-08-20T15:19:44.248ZPaige Lavoiehttp://www.pinupgirlstyle.com/profile/PaigeLavoie

In the winter im more to go for a great pair of skinny jeans and sneakers always Converse. More of a rockabilly look. I can't stand pantie hose or tights they make me itch. As for shirts usaly animal print stripes polka dots or a long sleeve black pull over shirt with a tee shirt layered over that. Sometimes ill do a tunic dress with leggings. I hate winter weather but love to layer up to stay warm.
