Finding Warm Clothes

I originally planned on waiting until I got to my village to order winter gear, but when I saw Eddie Bauer was having a 50% off sale over Easter weekend, it was too good to pass up! I got two winter parkas and a fleece jacket for layering.

The dark berry jacket is the Westbridge Parka. It's rated to -20 F and is waterproof. The hood is removable as is the faux fur ruff on the hood. The gray (dark charcoal) jacket is the Superior 3.0 Down Parka. It's rated to -40 F and is listed as their warmest, waterproof, windproof parka. This one has Down insulation and the faux fur ruff comes off the hood. The teal (peacock) fleece jacket is the Weekend Fleece and will be good for cool days as well as layering in the coldest part of winter

I also got a few hoodies for my soon-to-be new home, thanks to Etsy. My district isn't as strict on work attire because of the remote setting. Jeans are an everyday thing instead of for special occasions. I've never been a regular wearer of t-shirts and still hope to hold on to some of my fashion sense even though I'm moving to The Last Frontier!

My first 2 finds are from a fabulous shop called AK Republic Clothing. The company is actually located in Palmer, Alaska. They are the softest, comfiest hoodies I've ever owned!

I like the tie detail on the aqua Outside hoodie. I've never seen such a feature before. The wine moose hoodie is actually a full-zip boyfriend style hoodie. I'm obsessed with these and cannot wait to be able to wear them regularly.

My last hoodie came from a shop called Tasseled Rags and is located in Kodiak, Alaska. The picture is a bit misleading with its lighting because the fabric is really a dusty, light blue color.

It still doesn't feel real that I'll really call Alaska "home" in roughly four months. Here's to the next clothing purchases :)
