Ever since getting back to California after spending over two weeks in Canada, I have never appreciated California winter’s more. A light sweat shirt, that’s all I need right now! Not that I’m an expert at being here during the winter time, but we did arrive 11 months ago. If only I could get on this easy in Canada with such little layers. To be honest I didn’t even need the hat, it was warm outside. My logic behind it was that I bought it on eBay for < $4 and I couldn’t not wear it this season. For my Canadian friends, and everywhere else in the world who goes by Celcius temp’s, it was 15°C (59°F I had to google the conversion. I’ll never get used to fahrenheit).
Seems to be the hot topic between friends and I, in a joking way.
My dog-walkin’ neighbour friend and I always talk about how cold/warm it is outside and I’m all “yeah it feels like it’s at least 18 degrees“. She gives me a confused look because we both don’t know how to convert it into fahrenheit so I ball park it with… it’s in the sixites? Close enough. Now we go by “it’s t-shirt weather!” or “man where are my mittens? My fingers are cold.”
So here we go, an outfit I wore on Saturday during this balmy California ‘winter’. I’m way overdressed. 
My outfit:
eBay hat, eBay scarf, Forever 21 tee
Uniqlo down jacket, Alo Sport leggings, eBay rain boots
… and because outtakes are always fun. The Guy takes forever to take a picture. Waiting for me to make a face at him, then snap… picture taken. This is the outcome:
I have a pretty nice schedule going on this week with a few different friend-dates that I’m excited about. I’ll be driving to San Francisco tomorrow to meet Megan, lunch with Lauren, and dinner with my Canadian friend! What’s on your agenda for the week?

Nice pics!
Quick conversion:
Celcius to Fahrenheit : multiply by 2 and add 32
e.g. 10C
10×2 = 20
20+32 = 52F
@Lynn: Now do you know how to do it the other way when the fahrenheit people tell me the temps? Hah!!!!

@Nancy:
Not much for math, are ya? LOL
To convert F to C, subtract 32 and then divide by 2.
Example from above
52F -32 = 20
20/2 = 10C
@Lynn: LOL I’m probably going to screw that up somehow and do it the opposite way. How about I text you when I want a conversion hhahahahah

Nice outfit.. over here on the East Coast, we need to bundle up way more.. lol!!
Ah! Adorable. I don’t think you’ve ever posted an outfit I didn’t like though. But this is super cute and looks mighty comfy! Is it really cold enough for the jacket in Cali????

@Jeanine: Haha you cracked me up with the last part: is it really cold enough for the jacket. To be honest, this jacket is like a fleece, so it wouldn’t be close to warm enough to wear back home in Canada. Though, the temps dip down in the early evening, and lately it’s been about 10-15 degrees (Celsius of course)! So think of it like a fall jacket, that’s the weather here. :)

@Kelly – A Side of Sweet: I agree! Too many clothes. Hat was not needed. But I do love to be overheated. It was so warm yesterday, Scott & I also went on a run in our summer clothes. Unreal!

As someone born in California and has lived here all her life. I think it’s cold this winter. My California body would freeze anywhere else.

Such a lovely, cosy looking outfit. I especially love the scarf and pom pom on the hat.
I feel you on converting C to F- I live in Sweden now, and am from the US. So I’m always working on converting temps! Also, love your scarf!

That outfit looks so stylish and confortable. You have such great matching ideas.
Do you know how many pictures I have of me making weird faces at Ernie while he is taking pictures. A LOT. But I am obsessed with this outfit. Now I want to find a $4 hat on eBay! What was the brand?

Your hat! Your boots! I love them. The way we tell temperature in England is that if you can see your breath, it’s time for a sweater!

I really love this look! I’d try it here in my NJ winter!! It would work…but maybe with a heavier coat :)

This is a very nice outfit. I can see my daughter in this outfit.
The outfit is cute. I really like that the hats with poufs on the top are back in style. :)
Celcius temperatures continue to confuse me!

Haha I’m glad I’m not the only one to pull a grumpy face every once-in-a-while!! Love the outfit, especially that scarf. It is freezing in London at the moment. I go to bed with a hot water bottle every night and practically clamp on to ben like a tortoiseshell to keep warm haha!
