I'll Wear Whatever I Want, Thanks!

[jackfaire]

I hate it when people say stuff like, "Aren't you cold in just a dress?" -.- Especially if they can see I'm wearing tights and socks. Grr.

Yeah it gets annoying when I am walking barefoot in the snow and people are bugging me asking if I am cold, No I am not kidding. I do walk barefoot in the snow and it is annoying when people ask if I am cold.

GuyWithAShovel, have you looked into a modern kilt? I hate shorts, too, I wear skirts all the time in summer.

You could get a utilikilt for hot days. (and they look kind of...hot. In a good way. )

I haven't. Honestly, it's never occurred to me, but I don't think I'll be going that route. I'll just stick to wearing pants year 'round. Besides, here in Ohio, we don't get a whole lot of excessively hot weather. And when we do, it usually doesn't last longer than a month or two.

Interesting idea, though.

I think you should give those folks a pass. Walking barefoot in the snow is a bizarre activity. It's not really comparable to wearing jeans in the summer or slightly inappropriate boots in the winter.

If I saw someone walking barefoot in the snow, I would also engage them in a conversation about it. I'd try to determine if they needed help, financial or mental. Because it's just a strange thing to do.

Yeah, barefoot in the snow has to be just awful. I might look at you like you're nuts, but I'm not the type of person to make stupid random comments to strangers.

I have walked barefoot in snow. I realize it's a little...off.

It's not like I go hiking barefoot (although I have done that, too, just not in the winter.) in snow. But I'll run out to the shop or the laundry room or whatever in snow barefoot.

If you saw my feet, you would understand. I literally have Sherpa feet.

I'm not saying it feels good or that I don't feel the cold. I do. But my feet are so tough I can tolerate it longer than average. I can conversely walk on burning hot asphalt that others can't do barefoot.

Until my feet start getting cold, the snow actually feels kind of nice. The texture is interesting and the cold is refreshing. Then the cold sets in and it starts hurting and isn't so fun anymore.

It's irritating because it is my neighbors that mention it every year when I do it every year. I hate shoes and socks I walk most places barefoot if I can get away with it.

I understand complete strangers commenting they have never seen me do it before but having people get all weird about it is annoying.

Might I suggest Harley Davidson biker boots? For the money you pay, they are worth it and last a long time. I've had mine since seventh grade and I am about to go into my second semester of Freshman year of college. They are warm and sturdy.

I picked out boots for my birthday - North Face snow boots! They feel really warm and comfy.

North Face? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Why does every outfit 99.9999% of women wearing these days involve North Face and/or Uggs?

[protege]

Uh, because that crap is popular? Never understood the brand appeal...but that's just me

Thought I'd throw this in here. I *hate* to get dressed up. Sorry, but suits and ties aren't for me. Did that crap all through grade school, and can't stand it now. Why is it that "good clothes" are the most uncomfortable things ever?

I do know that one of my co-irkers got pissed at some of us last year. She actually got offended that we didn't get dressed up for the Christmas party. Boss took us out to a nice restaurant up the street from the office. Most of us didn't feel like driving home, and just wore what we had on. Most of us, boss included, showed up in slacks and knit shirts. Needless to say, there was much whining because we were "making her look bad." Yep, this from the person who had a bit too much to drink...and fell off a bar stool

I don't give three damns about the brand, really. I actually went to a discount store first, and didn't see anything I like. These were the only boots I saw that 1) weren't ugly, 2) weren't suede or cloth (they're vinyl or something), and 3) didn't involve visible fur. (They are fuzzy on the inside) And I won't be tucking my pants in the boots unless weather conditions makes it better to do so.

Okay, I am a brand whore when it comes to North Face....but ya know what? I actually hike in my NF goodies (and I got all of 'em on sale)

They are well made and last forever. My simple shell jacket keeps me really warm when I'm out walking/hiking.

I giggle when I see chicks in NF who are afraid to go outside....but to each their own

A few weeks ago, some club on campus was trying to raise money for some charity or another. One of the guys asked some girl walking by if she could donate and she responded that she doesn't have money. His response? "You can afford a North Face jacket and Uggs but you can't afford to donate a dollar?" Owned.

1) She may not have had cash on her
2) The jacket and boots coud have been gifts
3) If some charity said that to me....they'd never see a donation from me, even when I had cash on me
