No, not over skirts, but my girls didn’t have to wear them to school like we did. I don’t recall wearing puffy snow pants over my skirts, though. For school, I had leggings that pulled up under my skirt, and a snow jacket. The leggings were hard to get on or off unless you took off whatever was on your feet.

We used to put our girls in snow pants, too, but not over skirts! At least as far as I can recall.

I would have put my girls in those red rubber snow boots, too, if I could have found them, but alas, no. My older daughter had a proper pair of modern snowboots by the age of three, but I couldn’t find any for my younger one, who was a vigorous walker by ten months. So I wrapped her sneaker’d feet in baggies and taped them on. There, I’ve confessed. Too late for DSS to take them away from me, though; they’re grown and gone.

And I have a great down jacket that I wore to work today, seeing the season’s first snowfall outside.
