Disclosure: Thank you to Backcountry and ShopStyle Collective for partnering for today’s post. All products were chosen, worn, and loved by yours truly!

Living in Indiana, we get a few months of glorious -spend every second outdoors- weather each and every summer. But then comes Fall, and after Fall comes Winter. And in Indiana, Winter means short, gray days. When this happens, I tend to find myself cuddling up on the couch and spending more time inside than out. This year I’m changing that!

Myself and a few of the ladies on the LIY Team are encouraging each other to get outdoors each day, even when it’s cold. Take the pups on a walk, go explore a new walking trail, or even enjoy my tea alfresco! The game-changer is going to be having the right gear for even the coldest of days, and that’s where Backcountry is coming into play.

I’ve always loved Backcountry’s selection of some of my favorite brands, like Patagonia, The North Face, Sorel, Free People, and more, and their customer service is seriously the absolute best! When I knew I wanted to get the right clothes to spend some extended time outside I knew Backcountry was going to be my first [and well, only] stop. As soon as I took these new pieces for a test drive, I knew they were going to do just the trick this Winter!

BONUS: Right now you can score up to 40% off exclusive apparel from Stoic, Basin and Range, and Backcountry brands to get you outdoors too during their Exclusive Styles Sale!
