Since the end of November or so I’ve changed my approach to what I wear. Even though I work from home, in the past I’ve worn a polo shirt and a decent pair of shorts. Since the (relatively) cooler weather of winter this year I migrated to a t-shirt and a hoodie, and still the obligatory shorts. After all, I am a northerner by design and I’ve been known to wear shorts on the coldest of days. In fact, I was wearing shorts in December when it was 50ºF and while out on my walk a passerby commented on my bravery for wearing shorts.
Apparently she’s not from up north.
I started buying these cheaper t-shirts from Walmart during last year’s storm chasing trip. They are amazingly soft, quite comfortable, and I feel like I move well in them. Earl tells me I buy them too big, but since he’s lost weigh he can now wear them as well so I don’t know if he’ll continue to comment on the fit and finish.
At less than $10 a shirt they’re easily replaced.
I have a couple of hoodies in rotation; my hiking hoodie is becoming quite worn and will have to be replaced soon. I have a Polo hoodie for special occasions, a work hoodie that was a gift from work, an Apple hoodie that is ready to be retired, and a Jeep hoodie that I won’t wear when I’m driving our Nissan Rogue.
It’s all very complicated.
I just realized I need to get a Nissan hoodie.
Now that we’re up north for a few days I’m still wearing a hoodie over a couple of layers, and no shorts. But, I share this photo of me in our warmer climate back home, feeling and looking oh so comfortable.
