Winter has officially fallen here in Western New York. About 41 inches of that white fluffy stuff to be exact! I live near the lake, lake effect snow is NO joke! Our driveway took about an hour to shovel, salt and dig out our vehicles. Because it gets so cold here we really need appropriate Winter attire. This year I have been sporting this Women’s Pure Soft Jacket!
As we enjoyed the community covered in snow I realized just how important my jacket would become! It’s cold outside especially by the lake with gusts of snow and ice.
My soft jacket of wonderful is comfortable, and includes a removable hood. Shorter than a parka, but still extends below the waist for added warmth. Very lightweight yet still comfortable down to 10°F. Not to mention it also stops the wind which is such a HUGE help!
While I do enjoy the winter wonderland snow creates, the temperatures leave much to be desired! Personally, I would rather enjoy temperatures around 50-65°F. Yet, the views are rather breathtaking and make Christmas so festive!

I love your coat!! The weather were you live is so beautiful!! Were I live we don't get any snow!! #fdflinkparty
41 inches Wowza!! I don't live where it snows. At first that was great – now I miss Chicago – sometimes. I do miss winter fashion. Today it was 80 and I wish we could get some cooler weather for a little bit. #fdflinkparty
I spent four years living at West Point, NY and I remember those winter days with lots of snow. Back then I was in elementary school and had to walk to school in the snow, but the fashion was moon boots and snowpants because of course you didn't walk down the hills on the way to school, you sledded down them! Your style is definitely an improvement from that! Love the post and getting a little glimpse at life in Western New York. Thanks so much for posting this at the fandayfriday link party! #fdflinkparty
The Kansas winter weather is predicted to be extremely harsh this year. With 4 kids I never buy myself anything. This would be amazing and I thank you for the chance!

I am in Oregon and we have some snow. It's my favorite time of the year. I'm from California and also lived in Montana. What a beautiful state and was my first time living in snow. I was one of the few that was excited every time the first snow flake started coming down. Looks like you have a ton there lol. The coat is awesome! I love it. #fdflinkparty
Sadly, it doesn't snow where I live. I only have a little bit of winter clothing lol.

I need new winter clothes because I just found out I'm pregnant with baby #2 and have no maternity clothes!
The scenes are pretty but I think you can keep the snow in New York.
Wow! it's pretty there.I don't live where it snows but it does get down in the low 40's and 50's. Still need warm clothes.
We are getting snow here too. I thought you were gonna keep it. LOL
We got slush and snow today.
For the past 14 winters (less the year my triplets were born), I've spent in Mexico (instead of Canada). Needless to say, we don't have all the clothes that we need although I'm working on it. Should have everything by the time Spring arrives 😉
Thanks for giving.

We are getting freezing rain right now. We just had a bit of slushy freezing rain the other day.
I need a new pair of snow boots–as a Fellow WNY you understand the need to have good coverage for your piggies =^D
I have to walk everywhere, and it is so cold! I bundle up and put on so many layers I feel like a snowman, and things get really beat when you are battling all kinds of weather, I could sure use some new things, esp warm!
WE are gonna get warmer next week. YAY!!
I have old winter clothing, and most, I just freeze in, so I could use new winter clothing for the bitter cold here where I live, yes, we get snow, too 🙂
Brrrrrrrrr.
Gonna be in the 40s next week. YAY
I'll need a new winter coat this winter because I'm expecting and I'll be too big for my current coat all too soon!

I need some new clothing because I work with children and they touch everything TY
Love your jacket! We don't get snow, but we do in the mountains near us. We want to go play in the snow for a weekend, so I'll definitely need to get some warmer clothing before we go.
I need new winter clothing because my clothes are getting tight.
In Michigan we need to stay warm too! It's coooold!!
NOOOO Freezing rain in the forcast again for tomorrow. I didn't finish cleanin up from the freezing rain we had last Tuesday. The snow was just too darn heavy.
i definitely need some new winter clothing, while it doesn't get to awful cold here my wardrobe is definitely lacking. I always tend to buy for others and not myself so I could really use some new clothing.
We are having a much colder winter than usual here in Arkansas, so this would be awesome!
New York City has gotten much snow yet. Your area looks wonderful!
I LIVE IN UPSTATE NY !!! IT IS COLD, WINTER GEAR IS A MUST 🙂
I need new winter clothing because I rarely buy for myself. I have aa hodgepodge of gloves scarfs and hats. Nothing matches. Living in the Midwest, trust me it is cold, bit snowy and you need to dress warm! I would like to one day go out with matching things but everyone else needs to have something and it is functional but not too nice looking. Yeah, I am criping, but really just once II would like to match.
I dont mind snow that much really, just not shoveling constantly. I like messing around outside. Our snows vary, some years it is in feet (many) others it waits until February to dump on us but it is -20 or 30. We had snow and a lot of ice last week.
Thanks for the chance.
ellen beck on the form
We are having snow and rain mixed. Oh yuck a mess to clean up again.
I need new winter clothing because I always put my kids first, so it would be nice if I could buy myself a new coat or boots.
I live just outside of Pittsburgh so our weather here is up and down! One day it's high 50s and sunny, the next day we're shoveling our driveways!
I need new winter clothing because I do! Really though, my favourite boots are at the end of their life. Dreading finding ones that fit as well and look as good!
I need new winter clothing because I spend all my money on my kids, I live in Pennsylvania, and I just threw my favorite cardigan sweater in the trash because at 6 years old, it finally got holes in it big enough to notice haha. Thanks for the great giveaway. Your photos look beautiful, I love New York natural scenes!
It would be nice to drive up to the snow soon since CA has had lots of snow lately. We dont own any snow clothes, so we need some
We rarely get snow or if we do , only afew inches. More ice.The snow is pretty, but just like to look at it.
It does get cold and we are in need of new jackets or coats.
I live in WI we get a lot after a lot after a LOT. Would love to win this gc to buy some toasty winter clothes because I get cold easily.
