The Incongruous CityMrs L sees and hears it on the streets of ManhattanWednesday, October 29 We had our first real cold day in the city yesterday and it was fun to see everyone break out their winter duds. I have made an informal observation over the years about who really dresses for the weather, and who rebels against appropriate cold-weather garb. If I want to know how cold it is, and how to dress, I look out my window and watch passers-by for a few minutes to get my cue. Just opening the door and sticking my hand out never works, because once I’m out for a few minutes it is always colder than I thought. Okay, here comes a young, straight man, wearing a hoodie. No, can’t trust him. I’ll freeze to death. Teenage girl in a mini-skirt and Ugg boots with only a scarf for warmth? Are you kidding? I’ll have pneumonia by 4 pm. Pizza delivery guy? Shirtsleeves. Right, he just ran out of the restaurant and didn’t bother putting a jacket on. No reliable information there. Okay, here comes the exact right person for my weather info: a mom pushing a stroller. She AND the baby have on coat, scarf, gloves and a hat. Thank you, Mom! I’ll be toasty all day. previous | next | back to main page |

Mrs. L: It’s Oct 31 and here in Edmonton it’s supposed to be warm today with nice weather likely to stick around for the weekend. Believe me we’re grateful. Looking forward to handing out treats to the little ones in their costumes tonight. Anyway, have a great day and stay warm.

Guarantee that the actual clothing wholesaler / retailer anyone take care ugg clearance of is strong on the maker; fundamental essentials merely versions that will truly supply you with beautiful reductions. By pass the middle person.
