Forecast: An increased chance of vv-vvv-vvv with a slight risk of BRRRRR!!!!!


At 8 o clock this morning, it was 8 degrees outside. Cold weather is officially in the building, folks. But this doesn’t necessarily mean that the response is dreary; in fact, if you take a look at the fashion around you, things seem especially cheery.
Candy-colored scarves, fairisle mittens, and thick knit hats popped nicely with color against the crisp morning sky. And there were some surprising trends too: both aviator sunglasses and shorts were spotted as people hustled to work in downtown Columbia or to class at Mizzou. But there was a winter flair to the summer wear. Aviators are surprisingly chic when paired with long, flowy scarves. And shorts (or even short skirts) look cozy when paired with thick tights, tall boots, and knit socks that peek out at the knee.
This is all way to great a photo opportunity to pass up. This young lady to the left said she brought over her style from Scotland. When she lived there, shorts with tights was the style, so she kept doing it here.
See more wintry goodness in the slideshow above.
