Now that the cold weather is back with a vengeance, we all know what you’re thinking… WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR?! Well have no fear! We’re here to save you ‘cause #mommaknowsbest.

Scarves are a great way to keep warm and add some colour and sophisticated flair to any outfit. Often things can get pretty confusing when you’re trying to wrap it around you. Should I knot it? Should I wrap it around my face? My neck? My whole body!? WHERE DO I EVEN PUT THIS THING!? Circle scarves take away all this confusion because they look great no matter how you wear them. Don’t have a circle scarf? NO PROBLEM! If you have a pashmina scarf lying around (or any scarf with tassels on the end for that matter), just tie the ends together and BAM! You have yourself a lovely circle scarf!

As a result of Mother Nature PMSing the past week, there has been a great deal of salt being put down around Waterloo to combat the icy conditions. Do you know what that means? Salt stains on your boots. Nothing is worse than those awkward white lines running along the sole and edges of boots looking like boots were actually supposed to have white stripes on them. The solution? Water may help a bit by diluting the salt and reducing the strength of the stains, but the real solution is to use white vinegar. Start by mixing a solution of half warm water, half white vinegar. Take a clean cloth, dip it into the mixture you created and wipe over that salt stain, using more solution if you are unable to remove the stain the first time and BAM! Your boots are salt free!

Tis’ winterview season and time to try something new! What could you possibly add to your winter wear to stand out?? Gets some wrist action going! Decorate that lovely limb of yours with a nice watch. Ladies, try wearing a nice dress to an interview to change it up from the standard skirt or pants outfit. This season has some wonderfully classic dresses that are perfect for an interview! But hey, what about us guys, momma?? Not to fret young men of UW engineering! The key to looking fantabulous is to GET FITTED. Now that you are ready for you interview be prepared for a winter trek! Loop your scarves and de-salt your boots, it’s time to winterview.

Peace out
