HEY CHICAGO!!!! I need your help! I am going to the Oprah Show at the end of the month and I need wardrobe help. I live in Texas down by Houston so I am not used to your weather. Any advice on what to bring with me besides the obvious coat and gloves? Do I need thermals for underneath my pants? I planned on wearing to the show a nice pair of jeans and boots with a black velvet jacket. My mom is freaking out and going out and buying all kinds of tights and coats. My mother in law is from Michigan and she knows how the cold is up there and is not worried about it all but I am a virgin to it all! HELP!!!! :omg: What do you suggest?

Jeans and boots will do fine. Weat a sweater under your jacket cuz it does get a little cold. It is not so bad.

You do not need to go crazy and wear thermals under your clothes. Not like we're eskimos :cool:

The weather in chicago has been very nice lately, 20's and 30's and two weeks ago it was high above 40. You wont freeze to death

Thanks! I knew that if I were to bring thermals and things like that, that it would be too much...now if I can convince my mom!!! She is being a total freak about it. But then my parents are weather hounds and the first sign of a black cloud they go into a frenzy....oooooooh. PUHLEASE!!! :cool:

Thanks again!

Bring them with, just don't wear them :cool:

The one thing I can't live without is a nice scarf to cover my nose and mouth when the wind is blowing. It really does help to keep you warmer all over. ~Mandy (the Chicago tattooed mommy)
