| I also love wearing neutrals!! Black, brown, gray!! All clothing: Lane Bryant Scarf: Madden at Stein Mart Boots: Ross |
The over- reaction comes in the form of hiking up the
heat!! The majority of our high school
faculty is composed of middle aged women and if they feel as I do, the claustrophobia
begins to set in immediately. My
fashionable winter scarf suddenly grabs me around the throat and begins to
strangle as if it were a predator sneaking from behind to pounce! All seasonal fun goes out the window! This middle aged lady and heaters do not MIX!

| It's been a long time since Mrs. Joy joined us on this blog...but she's baaaaack! We just had to share this gorgeous cardigan she purchased at Tuesday Morning! I love the collar! |
I do control my thermostat, but I also teach pencil thin
little girls who come in from the cold freezing and just do not understand how
I can be hot! “You’ll understand some
day,” I sigh and “may you remember this moment.”
Enjoy the chill in the air. I know what you mean about the heater being overused. I hate that. I like your neutral winter outfit. Lovely.

I love cold weather too. And I also can't stand the constant heat inside the house.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you - two kids out of college! That is something to celebrate!
I'm with you, Pam - the cold days are so rare here that I like to relish them : >
ReplyDeletecongrats to the son
ReplyDeletewhat a great accomplishment
i am going through menopause, but i am not really having hot flashes, but more like cold flashes...i am cold all the time, weird huh?

Lovely, lovely scarf. Ditto for Mrs. Joy's ruffled sweater.
ReplyDeleteWe North Carolinians do not know how to drive in wintry conditions either, which I usually handle by staying home :P
It is always so hard dressing for a cold climate... I have now learned (the 'hot and cold' way) to wear light layers underneath a heavier coat.. Thick sweaters just don't work with central heating... :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas Pam... xv
I'm with you, Vicki. I've begun to buy lightweight knits so that I have the warmth when I need it, but can take things off when I'm inside somewhere warm. It's so horrible to be sweating to death and not be able to get cool. Yuck. My only problem is that I keep finding big, thick sweaters that I love. They have such "cozy and comfy" connotations for me.

You both look so lovely. I love slightly colder weather so I can bundle up with layers and wear jackets and scarves.
ReplyDeleteI sit near the loading dock, great job huh, and it's chilly, even for a middle-aged lady. Scarves are the best because they can come on and off easily.
ReplyDeleteYou would love it here. The sun is shining, frost is on everything. I just wrapped a sled for my granddaughter and we are wishing for snow. But when Christmas leaves us, most of us wish for the snow to leave, too. Your scarf is really nice. Is it an infinity scarf?
ReplyDeleteI like the cold weather too! Love your outfits! =)
ReplyDeleteI happen to be one of those people who prefer winter over summer!!
ReplyDeleteLove both your and Ms. Joy's outfits!!
I'm like you! Love the cold weather and wearing all the fun things like sweaters and boots! xo
ReplyDeleteWhen I go to yoga class there is always someone wanting to turn up the heat. I am usually roasting by the time class is over. We keep our house cold (65 to 67F) so I prefer it colder. We have had little cool weather this winter and I am ready for some colder air. It doesn't seem like winter when you can go out and about without a coat.
ReplyDeleteAs to people complaining about being cold, it is easier to put on more clothing. You can only take off so much!
Your outfit looks very chic.
Gorgeous scarf, Pam! I wish we could wear scarves like this here (in Florida). But there is no way we can do it even in December. 70 degrees here today (Dec, 14. So I'll stick to my silk scarves: silk is comfortable whatever the weather is. It provides us with the perfect "thermo regulation"!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the cool weather :-)

I stay cold all the time so I love a nice scarf I like it like 80 in my house my hubby likes it at like 70 lol I win most the time :)
ReplyDeleteOh and did I say how great you look Pam as always.
You both look nice and happy .I also love wearing boots but ...I hate cold weather.
ReplyDeleteIf you like the cold, come on up to Canada for a visit! There's a bite to the air and when you breathe it in, it freezes in your nostrils! No way to explain what that feels like... you just have to experience it. Boots are definitely one of winter's redeeming factors though. I love them too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scarf, Pam! And I love boots, too. It's tough when all the fashions are for boots, tights, scarves, and it's just not that cold. I couldn't get by at work without layers and a desk fan. In fact, I carry a folding fan in my purse and am not embarrassed to use it in restaurants and stores.
ReplyDeleteLOL at the pencil thin girls remembering this moment.
ReplyDeleteI get it- I'm cold by nature but when I'm overheated, I'm melting!
The boots and scarf with gorgeous neutrals are perfect for the gift of cold weather. Your writing is always an inspiration to me.
