When I was living in Brazil I used to wait anxiously for winters, I loved to dress “winter-style” using layering, boots, scarves, gloves but always had a special knack for winter coats (well, I still have it). But since I moved to the polar arctic (a.k.a. Boston), many of my winter fashion concepts have changed. Now, I really believe that winter fashion depends on what kind of winter you’re talking about. During the winter here in Boston any temperature around 32 F (0 C) is great and temperatures less than -4 F (-20 C) are not really a surprise to those who live here. When in middle of frigid cold weather, our biggest concern is to survive and fashion comes in second. But as the cold season just started and it gets dark real early, each sunny day (or a fraction of it) is celebrated with happiness and, of course, winter fashion!

Quando ainda morava no Brasil, eu costumava esperar o frio ansiosamente, adorava me vestir com mais estilo, sobreposicoes, botas, cachecois, luvas e era super apaixonada por esses casacoes de inverno. Bom, na verdade ainda sou. Mas, desde que comecei a enfrentar o frio polar de Boston, muitos dos meus conceitos em relacao a essa elegancia atribuida ao inverno super mudaram. Agora acredito que tudo obviamente depende do inverno, que estamos nos referindo. Em Boston no inverno, qualquer temperatura acima de zero e sonho de consumo, 20 graus negativos sao temperaturas que ja nao supreendem mais quem mora aqui.  E o instinto de sobrevivencia sobrepoe qualquer apelo fashion. Por enquanto, o frio mal comecou, mas os dias ja viram noites as 4 horas da tarde , cada raio de sol e comemorado com extrema alegria e ainda e possivel investir no antigo conceito de elegancia!
