I'm Obsessed With Layers, and With Talking About Them

In Chicago winters, talking about coping strategies for the weather becomes almost as prevalent and obsessive as anorexic girls talking about what they ate one day.

With that in mind, I'll tell you that today I'm wearing longjohn pants, another pair of pants, and a long heavy skirt that pretty much functions as a blanket. I'm also wearing wool socks, tall boots, two sweaters, and an undershirt. This is just to sit inside. When I go outside, I add a down coat, hat, scarf on my face, and doubled-lined mittens. I was actually a little sweaty when I was walking to the train today. Hooray - I've got the layering thing down.
