Girls who are always cold

I identify as a girl-who-is-always-cold. It's not an uncommon thing, apparently. The most annoying thing out of all this shivering is that my fashion choices are limited. As if this wasn't enough, my age does not allow me to comprehend some of the styles available on the market. Poopsies are right behind a corner, and I am not talking about the collectable toys.

There has not been a single time where I could wear a dress and call it a day. As a girl-who-is-always-cold, I need to carry a jacket or a long-sleeved top with me at all times. Yes, even on 40 degree days! Because bus drivers must think we need an ice storm of aircon there at the back. Offices inside a building with no access to the outside world, clearly require cold air in order to keep humans alive inside.

The troublesome thing, and don't laugh because this is serious, have you seen cute jackets that cost less than a million dollars and that can be worn at work and going out? Stress on the 'cute'.

Yeah nah, didn't think so.

Other than that, I sometimes follow the boyfriend into sports stores and have time to come up with a few theories regarding sports clothes. First: gym shoes and city sneakers almost always have white soles.

Why?

If I am looking at a pair of black glitter and oil slick accent sneakers, the only thing stopping me from buying them is a white sole. Who allowed for that to happen during the design phase?

Second: crop-hoodies. Now, link that to this girl-who-is-always-cold.

And poopsies.

If it's cold enough to wear a warm hoodie you might want to, you know, cover yourself with it and make sure there's as little naked skin as possible. Crop-tops are known to leave a lot of naked skin out in the open and they most certainly do not look great with an old winter singlet underneath.

You might argue, maybe you are supposed to wear those just going and coming back from the gym.

Yeah, that makes sense, those would be the best spent $200 of my aerobic endeavours. But you forgot one thing, poopsies.

For us over-twenty five, it's not a matter of 'if' I get knocked down by the environment, it's 'when'. And leaving our mid-drift and kidneys out in the open is asking for it.

Unless those crop-hoodies are meant to be worn only under twenty-five years of age. In that case, I applaud your savings skills and health condition. Enjoy them while you can.

I wish I lived a life that allowed me to not wear long sleeves everywhere I go and gave me the confidence to wear a crop-top without fearing for my life in this time of toilet paper uncertainty.

If you're reading this from the future, hi, this is March 2020 and some higher intelligence told people that the best way to prepare for Covid-19 is to hoard toilet paper, which means the next best thing are tissues, napkins, and kitchen paper. My theory is that plumbers saw the madness coming from a mile away and they are preparing college funds for generations to come.
