Aren't You Cold???...

Posted 08.12.2009 at 00:18 by SoCalCoise

Today was my first day back at work in Switzerland since February -I work from California and Switzerland-and I was so proud to wear my new fabulous winter clothes. At least I thought they were winter clothes.

Outfitted by Banana Republic, I wore an 88% wool black & white combo boat-neck dress with cap sleeves and an empire waist. I added a stretch black belt trimmed in leather, a pair of CK tights and finished off my look with a scrumptious pair of Mary Janes with red soles. So all in all, I felt quite confident.

My office was very well heated, so I didn’t feel the slightest bit of chill. Besides, I dressed well enough. Next thing I know I hear a knock at the door and someone saying, Hast du nicht kalt? The next person came to say hello 30 minutes later and asked, Are you warm in that? The next after lunch said, Wow coming from a warm place I thought that you would be cold. And the last said, Aren’t you cold?

NO!!! I AM NOT COLD! But at the end of the day I was happy for two reasons:
1. I’m ecstatic that I can wear feminine clothes in the winter and still be comfortable.
2. How cool that I’ve adapted to the weather so much that even natives ask me “Aren’t you cold?”
