With Chicago winter weather in full swing, every Chicagoan truly knows what cold weather is. But for someone who is cold 12 months out of the year, the winter time can be pretty miserable. Air conditioners, weather below 75 degrees, and even holding an iced cold beverage can turn you into an ice cube pretty quick. Trust me girls, you're not alone. Here is a list all of us cold girls can relate to.
1. You sleep with at least 3 blankets.
You sleep with numerous amounts of blankets because you will never be warm enough. Heck, I sleep with a heated mattress pad and 4 blankets. The only time you don't need all those blankets is when your personal space heater, AKA your SO, is sleeping over.
2. Your sock drawer is mainly fuzzy socks.
We all love fuzzy socks, and not for the reason of being extremely soft and comfy. Us cold folk love these socks because they keep our toes warm. Thank god for whoever came up with these brilliant feet warmers because without them, normal socks would turn our toes into icicles.
3. Your legs probably are never shaved in the winter, and it's not because you're being lazy.
To some shaving their legs is a must, but to us girls who are always cold, we like the little extra warmth. Yes, we possibly are just being lazy, but who cares when you're comfortably warm. Sorry fellas, but we'll shave in the spring.
4. You never will understand the girls who go to the bar in dresses during -10 degree weather.
Let's be honest you might never wear an outfit like this in the winter unless you have a legit reason (eg. formal, semi formal, date party, wedding). The reason being is because you much rather wear an over sized sweater and be warm because you don't know how long you'll be outside, than to be freezing cold in barely any clothing.
5. You sleep in sweatpants, a sweatshirt, and fuzzy socks.
It's not because we don't have any cute PJ's to wear, but because of the extra warmth you might need in case you kick off your 3+ blankets in the middle of the night. Let's face it, this outfit might as well be your everyday outfit, too, because you probably will never want to take it off or get out of bed to begin with.
With winter season still in the midst, I pray for those girls who are constantly cold. Let us find the warmth in our clothing, bed sets, and winter outerwear to keep us warm in this time of need.
