Winter Dilemma
Return to DiscussionsI add clothing in the order in which the body parts get cold.Shorts first, then socks or slippers, then a shirt.
For me first a shirt. I am getting cold on the upper body. Or maybe the socks if the floor ist cold. Wearing shorts is a social convention. I only wear them if neighbours can look into my rooom or on my balcony but not because of the cold. Slippers I only need to go into the cellar.
I too wear clothes as the weather dictates. First will be a shirt or even a sweatshirt, I always wear slippers at home and usually won't wear shorts unless I have someone coming over who isn't comfortable with my being nude. My house has poor insulation so I often wear sweatpants when at my computer.
I live near Springfield MO. As far as I can tell, we don't have winter here. Well, there may be a week (maybe two) during which it gets cold.
I wear a t-shirt and basketball shorts all year long. I only wear shoes when conditions are truly hazardous -- which, essentially never happens. My thought is, if it's possible to survive the vacuum of space for 30 seconds, then you can survive walking from your car to the store (which is heated) in 45 seconds.
If I worked outside, that would be entirely different.
My floors are entirely ceramic tile and they do sometimes get quite cold -- to the point that my feet go numb. I knitted myself a pair of wool socks -- which I wear when my floors are very cold.

I guess I am odd, but my butt gets cold first, my feet second, and my chest and shoulders last.
