Cheeky Mitts and Much-Needed Longjohns

This past weekend I was here:

Emerson Guest House - Vergennes, VT

with them:

L to R: Bill Carmichael, Brian Golub, Kelly Rypkema, Scott Nicholas, and moi.

performing to benefit this:

Vergennes Opera House

And it was lovely.

And cold.

Suddenly I remembered the importance of long johns.

I've been told that there are some festive striped ones from H&M that I'm going to seek out today but I'm also considering getting some heavy duty options.

Afterall, I'm still going to Minnesota before 2011 where this happened:

So I feel they will be put to good use, no?

And why don't we add some cute mittens to the wintry mix:

Madewell - Ski Lodge Mittens

Kate Spade - HI 5 Mittens

ASOS - Pom Pom Mittens

Coach - Knit Mittens

Target - Muk Luks Tweed Mittens

All of this below zero talk is making my fingers wish I had an above pair of mittens on now, though I would have some trouble typing the rest of this post. Dilemma.
