    Perfect for your day!  I like the boots!

  • replied 10 years ago

    You look fabulously toasty warm. And Happy Birthday!

  • Angie replied 10 years ago

    Happy birthday. We wish you a day filled with lots of love, laughter and good eats. May 2014 bring you great joy and fulfillment. 

    NOW your style makes sense. So do you ordinarily wear this to commute in, and change when you get to the hospital? 

  • lyn* replied 10 years ago

    Thanks!

    I usually wear this for the commute and shed my layers at the hospital in my office :) I think that's fairly typical for everyone at the office. If it's less cold, I don't wear the snow pants and the big snow boots!

    Hehe. Now we see the Canadian weather! Thank you for posting. And I hope you have an extra special birthday this year!

  • Diana replied 10 years ago

    Holy crap, that is cold!
    Happy birthday!  Hope you stay warm. 

  • Sara L. replied 10 years ago

    OMG! I can't even imagine commuting in that kind of cold! Thanks for the insight.

  • Ariadne replied 10 years ago

    Happy birthday!  I hope it's full of WARMTH in every way!

    How do the snowpants work with your dresses and skirts?

  • replied 10 years ago

    Ahhh, now I get it.
    I wish I could do something like this, but I can't. Happy Birthday, toasty you.

  • lyn* replied 10 years ago

    I wear the snow pants like tights, and just put the dress/skirt over top. :)

    Where are you?  Calgary?  I heard it was -30 or something this morning.  It was +10 in Halifax!!

  • Alexandra replied 10 years ago

    Happy birthday! Your outfit looks warm and cozy, the temperature not so much.

  • rute replied 10 years ago

    Happy birth day!! Gorgeous! I confess i felt blessed for living in a warmer country

  • Elizabeth P replied 10 years ago

    oops. Happy birthday!!!

  • K. Period. replied 10 years ago

    Happy birthday! Lovely layers. :)  

  • Astrid replied 10 years ago

    Happy Birthday! Now it all makes sense, after seeing you layer up like this. ;)

  • Gracie replied 10 years ago

    Happy, Happy Birthday to you!  I enjoyed the sequence of the photos and chuckled at the last one... we do what we gotta do, right? Stay warm!

  • E replied 10 years ago

    Happy birthday! And these are awesome pics; thanks for taking them. :)

  • carter replied 10 years ago

    Happy birthday! -42 degrees?? I can't even imagine that. It was 73 here today. I had to shed a layer the minute I left the house.

  • Debra replied 10 years ago

    Happy Happy Birthday, you look cute and lovely and warm in you commuting outfit but -42, are you serious????
    I can not imagine how cold that would be.....I think I'd just stay in bed :)

  • Suz replied 10 years ago

    Happy birthday, Lyn! May the year be filled with joy and laughter and new beginning for you. 

    And now your twirly skirts make more sense than ever. It is really tough to wear a pencil skirt over snow pants like that. 

    Brrrrrrr!!!

  • Caro in Oz replied 10 years ago

    Brrrrr. Happy Birthday!! YLF.

  • Lisa replied 10 years ago

    You look ready for the cold, and wow that is cold!  I hope you have a lovely birthday!

  • Aleta replied 10 years ago

    Many happy returns of the day. Your pics are so sweet, this little person gradually disappearing under all the layers!

  • Dee replied 10 years ago

    And I thought it was bad outside when I complaining about -25C this morning. I clearly need to take a page from your book and invest in some snowpants. 
    I hope you were warm enough and happy birthday!

  • Greyscale replied 10 years ago

    You do look like a marshmallow! An adorable one. I don't think I've experienced anything colder than -10 myself... I claim that I love winter, but brrrrrrr, that is extreme!

  • Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago

    Perfect cold weather commuting outfit. We're hitting -41 tonight with windchill so can commiserate.

    Happy birthday "twirly" lyn*!

  • kellygirl replied 10 years ago

    Brrr!! You own the cold! I thought the number was a typo. The born and bred Cali girl didn't think it could get that cold and be habitable! Wow!

  • annagybe replied 10 years ago

    Happy Birthday!

  • Sveta replied 10 years ago

    Brrr, I am cold just from thinking about-42C!
    Happy birthday, lyn!

  • pil replied 10 years ago

    Egads, -42 is almost unimaginable! Have a wonderful, wonderful birthday, lyn*!

  • replied 10 years ago

    Happy happy birthday, and thumbs up on the commuting outfit!

  • Aziraphale replied 10 years ago

    OMG -42 THAT IS ABSURD.

    I see why you've got to cover your face! Happy birthday. May it be a happy, healthy year.
