Weekend Basics for Winter: Long Sweaters, Skinny Pants and Tall Boots

Though Toronto doesn’t necessarily get all that snowy in the winter, thanks to below freezing or borderline freezing temperatures, snow the ground is often extremely wet.  And as a frequent walker and transit-taker, even during the weekend, a wet walkway, especially when there are snowbanks, can dirty the hems of pants.  Thus, for me, anyway, […]
