A history of Mariah Carey failing at winter clothing

Mariah Carey has never paid much attention to the constraints of weather when it comes to her attire. Especially when she spends Christmas in Aspen, an annual tradition for her and the twins (and ex Nick Canon, when he used to be invited). How far will Mariah go for fashion? It's hard to forget last year when she stepped out onto the snow-covered streets of the freezing ski town to walk her dog wearing nothing but a red bikini.

This year? Well, let's just say she donned a ball gown, her favorite Azzedine Alaïa coat and boots that were made for...spraining.

 A closer look at the death traps.

Then there was her modest ski suit from 2011.

But wait! We tip our hat to Mariah's warm & fuzzy moments (like last year's photo opp with Monroe):

And now, a brief tribute to the song that paid for her Aspen lodge.
