It's All About the Layers

When will I learn that it is cold in Canada? I mean, I know that it is cold, but I don't know remember how to dress properly for the cold sometimes. A couple of nights ago, we were going to the grocery store for a couple of things and I thought that I dress appropriately. I wore some heavy jeans, thick socks, boots, a long sleeve t-shirt, a jacket, wool coat and a hat. Apparently this was simply not enough to keep out the cold. I was freezing!!! So last night, when we were going to go out, I prepared my self.

First layer: My favorite warm pajama pants.


Next were a pair of capri pajama pants. Hey, I'm working with what I've got. And that is TOTALLY me in the picture, BTW.
Finally, after that I wore my basic jeans.



On top: Old Navy long sleeve thermal shirt.
On top of that was my Pirates of the Caribbean t-shirt from Disneyland.

I wore what JM likes to call my "ghetto" jacket.


All covered up by my generic wool pea coat. I also wore my scarf, hat, fake Uggs from Target, and two pairs of socks.

The final product:

The only thing I forgot was gloves. But I was still warm.

All of this for a 10-15 minute walk and back. *sigh*

Brrr...glad you're layering though.

For what it's worth, it's ugly and cold here. Not as cold as it is up there, but cold enough that it's unpleasant to be outside. And I'm not so good with the layering...

Canadians don't know it's cold up here! I keep seeing guys in Bermuda shorts. In the snow! Today A guy is running and his runners are blocks of snow. No lie! I wanted hubby to stop so I could take a picture but he wouldn't. I've worn runners in the snow and they get soaking wet. All I could think is his feet are gonna be so naaaaaastyyyyyy. Yesterday, I saw three people WALKING to the library and they had NO OUTERWEAR on. I guess you know you're Canadian when you don't know it's below zero outside!
