She has $1000+ in jackets
Maybe another $300 in sweaters
Another $200 in gloves and accessories and shit
$500ish in snow rated boots and shoes etc

She wears several layers before stepping out the door and is regularly pissed at how cold it is

I've reminded her it's only getting colder

Those full length puffer jackets were popular when I was in Chicago in December.

Sorrel makes really cute, warm boots

I think I bought my $100 Superdry wind cheater jacket because of an OT thread hyping it up like 6 years ago.

It has been my single go to warmest winter jacket ever since.

its not high quality, there are tears and rips. Quite frankly I should be ashamed of myself but it works for the handful of times a year I’m in a place less than 50 degrees.

We've had our coldest winter in years here, it's been below -20C for a solid 3 weeks now, and when it got to -6C for like 7 hours on Sunday morning it felt like summer. A ton of snow too. Apparently it's supposed to warm up here next week, but I'll believe it when I see it.
