So I lived in California for the last 6 years.
It normally doesn’t go below 40 degrees. Although I’ve wore only t-shirt and shirts in 40s degree weather for PE in the winter… I probably won’t want to do that for the rest of my life.
So… what are some essentials?
a puffy down coat?
a pea coat for more of the formal stuff and a bit less severe weather?

what shoes/boots to get?
and
what do you wear when one layer of jeans is just not warm enough?

feel free to include lots and lots of link to other threads or to picture of items or website of store to buy the items.

I just want to be prepared when it gets freezing cold.

Also side note, I saw from blogs and friend’s facebook, occasionally there are some semi formal-ish dinners and events like that. How do we bring the least that would work for the most occasions?
