Nope. I live in Arizona where winter clothes last for decades. Winter is so short that all I wear is a sweatshirt for cooler days. I don't own a coat. As for boots, it's cowboy boots.

@crawford5153 no- None of all that. Just happy to see our temperatures moderating a bit. Maybe the 90s are gone for this year!

@crawford5153 I purchased two new pairs of waterproof boots. A tan color and a grey color. No new coats YET. If I see one I just love I might get one.

Do I need any new coats or boots? NO!

But, sometimes it is just a treat to wear something new to make me feel good. Not a good excuse!

Do slippers count? Today, I bought a fur lined pair of Lauren Conrad from Kohl's. I have them on already.

@crawford5153 : Yes.

Thrift shopping for the following new-to me. I have dropped many sizes since last winter, so most were needs:

New knee high boots and entirely too many coats and jackets to admit to.

From the Q: A384592 Zuda jacket in blackberry. OTO price last month.

I think I'm done shopping (unless I score more treasures).

I purchased one new coat last year that was water repellent and one faux fur on sale .

This yr I was not going to buy any new coats but one caught my eye.

To me , I like to have a variety of coats that suit various weather conditions . I like to a a couple of different length coats.

I've been looking for some lightweight sneaker boots for walking the dog. I need them to be waterproof and have good traction in the snow if there is any...can be spotty sometimes so I need the traction. I was thinking about getting these boots but I have no idea how heavy these are or if they are good for walking. I think these are so cute. If you have these please tell me about them. Thanks!

I actually bought a new winter jacket, 5 pairs of boots (!!!), earmuffs, and gloves for last winter because we stayed up north for longer than usual.

2 pairs of boots already need to be replaced (Totes, waterproof) because I wore them in the surf and the shells poked through the soles. Tiny pinholes, but now not waterproof. Will say that nothing ever came through the zipper or other parts, but the shells did them in.

I'm not used to cold weather, so bundling up is new to me. My ears can't take wind or cold much. There was a local reporter on the boardwalk on Memorial Day weekend. I don't think he was a weatherman. But I know that hundreds, if not thousands of people saw me riding my bike with earmuffs on the morning news. He did a double take. I'm so glad he didn't call me over. Maybe I didn't hear him if he did.

I purchased the Arctic Expedition parka from 2 years ago. I love it and have it in two colors. I also bought handmade recycled sweater mittens from Etsy.

No. I have several Basso faux furs, 2 Lands End parkas and boots for snowy weather, and quite a few casual winter jackets. Lots of warm hats, scarves and gloves and mittens. Plenty of winter thermal liners and winter socks.

I just bought the D&Co fleece sherpa coat, A383705, to use for walks with my dogs. It has still not been cold enough for me to wear it. It is on clearance now, but I paid more!

Last year I bought the very stylish Mark Fisher tall boots, A370758, but I did not wear them once due to the quarantine! I think they will look great with some long skirts.

I have a collection of coats and boots over many, many years for all kinds of different cold weather.

I have one very warm Dennis Basso coat I bought a few years ago that is terrific when we go to ski resorts, where often the temperature is 10 degrees BELOW zero. Every time I wear that coat and stay warm, I appreciate the faux fur warmth.

I live where I need and use cold weather gear but I am all set. I have plenty and I have a thing for coats. Purchased some really nice ones after the holidays at a good price .

I have purchased some nice coats from QVC in the past as well.

Now I spend that money on coats for the two grandkids. Still having fun buying coats that way. Will be doing the same this year as well.

I bought a North Face down parka over the summer on clearance at MountainSteals.com. I believe it's the outlet site for MooseJaw. You will find great deals on past season stuff and there's often a coupon code. It is mostly higher end stuff. I got a $300 parka for $150, and I expect it to last me for years. We have brutal winters here, and I live in a down parka during the winter. I only bought a new parka because the zipper broke on the one I had (a cheaper brand).

@SilleeMee Check out LL Bean for snow sneakers. I have worn these type since my 20's and I am only on my 2nd pair! I live in New England and I put mine through the ringer, warm and waterproof. I think they are the best!

As far as purchasing anything for winter, I bought another Aran sweater on the most recent Irish day.........did I need another one? Nope.

Oh thank you for mentioning LLB! I didn't even think to look there. Thanks so much!
