Head to Toe Clothing - Best Purchases of 2013
Since I had a lot of clothing (and everything else) to re-purchase this year, I took the opportunity to really focus on what I like most about the clothes I want to wear. I like comfort, durability, practicality, with a mid-sized helping of style. Here are some of the interesting items I enjoyed most owning and wearing during the last few months. Apparently I decided that wool was the material for me.
Wool Stocking Cap
Warm stretchy and luxurious feeling. Simple styling. Understated. Not windproof, but very insulating without being bulky.

Ibex Hooded Indie
If you've forgotten your wool beanie, you can still keep your head warm. Light-weight 195g/m2
A fantastic layering piece, durable, versatile. I would wear it every day if I could.

Merrell Barefoot Style Shoes
I love wearing Barefoot style shoes now. Zero drop is supposed to be good for your body. I don't feel like a weirdo in these, they pass unnoticed by most people. I wear the Life Reach Glove at work with Khaki's. I wear the older Road Glove or newer trail glove on the weekends and on hikes. These shoes are very light-weight and comfortable.
