Dress Code

Once upon a time, long, long ago, there were strict dress codes for girls in school, especially in high school; dresses and skirts only, definitely no trousers, jeans, or shorts.  In my last two years in boarding school, we all wore uniforms, the great equalizer.  One of my first roommates, Manena, thought I was bonkers because I'd go into the big walk-in closet we shared and say,  "Hmmm, I wonder what I shall wear today."

These days, I say the same thing.  Bibbies are de rigueur, my uniform, as it were, but what to wear with them is the question.  Weather is the dictator.  In the past week alone, I've gone from a long-sleeved cotton shirt to a turtleneck sweater, then adding a fleece vest, and yesterday it was sweater, quilted jacket, and gloves.  It didn't reach into the 50s all day.  I think Nature spins some giant wheel and we get what we get when the wheel stops.  She must get bored in summer when the wheel gets stuck on seemingly endless days of heat.

Given that it is just above freezing this morning, today will be another full-gear day.  Oh well, I won't have to ask what I'll wear.
