For me, I would be thinking that's a lot of extra space for cold air to get in and circulate! LOL

Nan's right, the air space is insulating, that's why they tell you to dress in layers to stay warm.  :)

eta as long as you don't create a wind tunnel which I realise is probable what you were thinking!  ;D

I'm just eternally cold! hahahah for me, the more space, the colder I'll be! (definitely thinking of creating wind tunnels hahaha). I've just hit a point where I wish I could just be in PJs for the majority of my life LOL My favourite part of the day is the time that I get home and the bra comes off and the jamjams go on! haha

Fleece lined leggings. 


I like your thinking...

No lie... I have a pair of flannel-lined jeans (with insulating air space!) for when I'm in the workshop in winter.  I love them.

My husband jokes that somehow my nose and hands are always a few degrees colder than the ambient temperature. I have to cuddle to up him to stay warm 99% of the time. I'm a fleece lined tights and leggings person for sure!

Exacerbating women's feelings of coldness is the fact that an industry-standard formula used by many building managers to set indoor temperatures is based on a fifty-year-old estimate of the metabolic activity for a 155-pound male.

I just hope that more people will ignore the fatalism of the argument that we are beyond repair. We are not beyond repair. We are never beyond repair. - AOC

I got a new pair of shoes (yippeee, much needed).

BUUUUUTTTTTTT

The laces keep coming untied.  And they have a cushioned insole....  so each step I take has a hisssssss of air whooshing out (when going downstairs primarily). 

Boooooooo

I've returned/donated shoes for that! Can't handle the constant sound.

Most women of my age......have short hair in one of a very few styles.

We (hubby and I) call that haircut "The Highland Helmet".   ;D

A few years ago I had a hair colour that made me look like a ginger tom.

I truly looked like my cat's mother.

And my hair had been destroyed by the stuff so badly that I had to just stand in the shower and condition it six times so I didn't have the "shredded wheat" on the head look.

I should have known - the hairdresser was working out of her front room, couldn't speak English (she was from Morocco) and used a cut throat razor to cut my hair.

I'm sorry but I genuinely laughed pretty hard at that!

My cat's fur (Copper) was the same color as my hair.  I need to find photos where I made her have bangs.  They were soooo funny.  ;D
