Whoa it's chilly in the That's Not My Age office/our spare room today. So cold, in fact, I'm wearing my dressing gown over my clothes. Pretty damn stylish, eh? To help overcome any further indoor fashion blunders, I've found some lovely winter accessories to help you keep warm and carry on blogging:
1. Cosy up an old office chair with a cute knitted cushion (or just cling onto it for comfort when Blogger crashes, see above)
2. Fingerless gloves allow hands to rattle away at the keyboard in sub-zero temperatures. That's Not My Age has been wearing a pair for days.
3. If like me, your desk is by the window, a polo neck jumper makes the perfect draft excluder:
4. A hectic office schedule (sitting around for hours on end, looking at the pretty snow) calls for at least one pair of chunky knit socks:
And if it gets any colder, I'll be wearing one of these:
Do you have any special winter blogging kit?

Cushion: Donna Wilson
Gloves and socks: Toast
Jumper: Acne at my-wardrobe
Hat: M&S
I'm freezing. I've also stuffed newspaper round my old draughty windows!
ReplyDeleteI've resorted to sitting with a hot water bottle up my jumper when it gets really bad!
ReplyDeleteI've been using my laptop from the sofa with a duvet over my legs, can't bear to sit in the icy office!
ReplyDeleteNot quite that cold here yet. I've noticed quite a bloggers mentioning the fingerless gloves however. Might have to invest in a pair. And love the hat!! Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteIt is so cold!! I've got about twenty layers of cashmere on, a snood, leggings and Uggs. I mostly blog in bed which solves the problem! Hope all's good with you xx
ReplyDeleteI haven't any special kit, because I can barely be bothered to blog anymore. But I can read, and this post makes me want to put on one of each item and peck away!
ReplyDeleteGreat, I can see a close up of your face. You look lovely holding the warm cushion!!!

See, I would have said my Ugg boots. But that was before I read what you think of them..
ReplyDeleteI am just grateful to be blogging LOL ... I am always by the fire at the moment or in bed as the internet is sporadic throughout the house xx
ReplyDeleteTabitha, Katie & Penny- I'm adding newspapers, a hot water bottle and the duvet to my winter kit. Excellent ideas.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth - hello you, and c'mon, keep on blogging!
Sacramento - sorry to disappoint you but that's not me in the picture, it's a model and she's about 25 years younger than me!
Sian - maybe Uggs are acceptable if they're worn indoors as slippers(?) Just remember to change your footwear when you pop to the shops.
Hi there-it is soo cold at the moment, I'm wearing my layers to keep warm but my feet are cold, lol! Have a lovely weekend! xx
ReplyDeleteMrB mocked me when I got fingerless gloves in 2007... every time I see someone else wearing fingerless, I get to say "HA!" to him.

Brrrr - chilly here too. I'm wearing my Ruby Brown slippers all the time at home and at least 3 layers of clothing! And in the evenings I have big cream fleece blanket to snuggle under on the sofa. Love the Acne jumper and those Toast socks.
ReplyDeleteI have a pair of hideous fat pink down filled slipper things that the Panther, not famous for his fashion choices bought one Christmas. They are the warmest things ever.
ReplyDeletefleece lined moccasins, a grandpa sweater, and an old afghan I can drag around where ever I go!
ReplyDeleteI just bought a fantastic Nordic jumper from eBay, which I wear with jeans and M's socks. Om nom nom.
ReplyDeleteI have taken to wearing leggings under my trousers, a thermal vest under a thick sweater and have even bought a pair of "80s" leg warmers.
ReplyDeleteI've just ramped the heating up which I will pay for in the long run! xx
ReplyDeleteI have a lovely cowl-neck black/striped poncho (tesco Clint Eastwood special - £14.99) which I've been wearing all week with my cable-knit hat and my hand-knit fingerless gloves. Hot coffee and crumpets sit by my side.
ReplyDeleteMy cats sleep on the bed and keep my feet warm. Unhealthy for some, but saves heating bills x
ReplyDeleteBig fluffy pink slippers and two jumpers. And the fire on full.
ReplyDeleteSounds like my blogging kit, only its fingerless gloves and a hotwater bottle. Xxxx
ReplyDeleteCannot believe how much snow you have had already in UK and the freezing temps... seems like only yesterday you got rid of the cold weather! Love a fingerless glove myself for keeping hands (relatively warm and being able to carry on typing!). Gorgeous jumper too. x
ReplyDeleteI have been known to stay in my dressing gown all day as it's the warmest thing I own! Other than that, lots of hot drinks. xx
