...to stay warm?  Thinking about what I'm going to wear to work in order to stay warm on my Arctic treks today. Long johns, turtle neck cashmere sweater, cords, 2 pair of socks, trouser boots (if I can get my feet into them with 2 pair of socks), scarf, gloves, and mid calf-length lined London Fog coat. I miss my long wool coat with hood. It was a size 12 and had to go 2 years ago. I did just see one in a catalog for $139.00. It only comes in winter white, brown or black. I need one in all 3 colors but I don't think DH will go for it. lol  

I think I need some butt warmers. I can get those hand warmer thingies and put them in my back pockets...What are you wearing to stay warm today? Do you have to venture out?

Today it is actually suppose to get above freezing for the first time.  I'l be wearing long johns, cords, wool sweater, hat, gloves and my many sizes too big coat.  I've sworned not to buy a new one until I can wear a medium.  I think that will be after Christmas when there are good sales if there is anything left.

I was sitting here thinking that I am SOOO glad that I have not gotten rid of my big clothes yet.
I have my 3 x hoodies and my size 18 jeans, do you know how many layers I can fit under them and still have room to spare LOL.
3, I tried LOL.
I am layering up today also, have to do my home based business my "job"
Actually I dont feel like it is a job, I enjoy doing it.
I assist an elderly friend with all her errands, of course I call it "errands for the Elderly".
We go grocery shopping, to the bank and anywhere else she needs to go.
Currently looking for more clients, oh well.
Have a great day everyone and stay warm.

More than we brought to New York. We have to venture out due to the annual fire drill for the hotel.

I have got to get some long underwear. I looked last weekend, but all they had left at Target was L and XL. I have been wearing leggings under sweatpants. I'm lucky that I'm in school and on Christmas break. I can wear my fleece pajamas at home most of the time and sweats when I go out.

I will wear shorts and a tank top today. I may take a sweatshirt jacket with me just in case. (LOL)
It will be about 64F so I will wear pants.

Well, we are no where near as cold as most of you are.  It was 30 here today.  Yesterday it  was 20 and the wind was horrible.

I have been wearing Cuddle Duds(Thermal Underwear) with a sweater, Jeans with Tights, socks and boots, a scarf around my neck and my jacket that is lined and am still cold!!  I can't imagine what it is like with the really cold temps and snow!! 

This is from wearing no coat at all 2 years ago!!!  I now keep a sweater on my chair and have it on most days at work over my sweater and cuddle duds.

I had not thought hand warmers in the butt of my pants - they probably wouldn't fit with everything else I have on!!  I have to go out at lunch today to buy gifts for my 5 year old Sunday School Class.

Stay warm everyone!!

I have to go babysit my great niece in a few hours.  I have leggings on under my yoga pants.  I have a long sleeve t shirt under my hoodie.  2 pair of socks.  I will add a zip up hoodie then my old way too big winter coat from last year before I walk out the door.  Im always freezing.  Even when Im just sitting in the house. Hubby gets tired of my "Im freezing" comments.  Im always wrapped up in a snuggy and have a small electric heater by my feet.  and oh dont even ask how many blankets I use at bed time   lol   Keep warm everyone!   Cindy

Oh jeeze, don't hurt me please.  It's 47 now and going up to 55 here today.  That said, the A/C is always on in my office so I freeze.

I'll be wearing black cords, a black silk cammy, red cashmere sweater, black wool sox.  I always have a wool pashmina hanging on the back of my office chair to keep me warm if I need it.  I'll top it off with my new size 12 Goodwill black wool coat ($9.95) that I feel like a million bucks in.  Of course I'll have a scarf on to fini**** off.

I'm going to Virginia for Christmas so I guess I'd better find some warmer things to wear before next week!
