I have always been a cold person, not cold in an emotional sense, but in a concrete physical sense. I freeze! I finally start enjoying my cute little tank tops when the temps get above 80! So when the weather turns chilly....I freeze when I am outside.
I was thinking about this the other night....a chilly November evening. We were going out to dinner and I started complaining how cold it felt, but then did a scan of how I was dressed and thought....no wonder you are not warm. I was wearing jeans, heels (no socks), and tank top and cardigan. My coat was a thin, velvet blazer. This would have been perfect clothing if it was 60, but not for 40.....no wonder I was freezing!
So my plan is to dress more appropriately for the weather. Hat and gloves always help, but I do hate the way hats can wreck you hair. However, I am on the lookout for a cute knit cap that warm my head and ears. I have some thin, silk long underwear that I may wear under jeans and pants when it gets really nasty. I will continue wear lots of layers on top too. This is essential since occasional hot flashes still torture me, and I have to be able to turn the heat down for a few minutes. Boots of course, once the snow flies, do add a major warm factor too!
So in a nutshell, my plan is too dress for weather and wear enough clothing to stay warm!
