Another sartorial trend I do not understand

[Cat]

The best weather is weather when you can wear pants, a hoodie and sandals (either my Keens or my Birks!)

I love my hoodie collection....its growing!!

[Becks]

I don't own sandals, either.

Anyone want to donate to a lost good cause?

I have straight hair. Well... when it's not frizzy. This might be a crucial detail that I forgot.

I have a mix of straight, wavy, and full on curly. The first time I went to see my current hairdresser, he looked through my hair and said, "What the shit, girl?" Yeahhh...it's a frizzy beast. It looks pretty good when I take the time to dry it properly and straighten it.

I do this. My feet just don't get cold. I grew up in the country so my feet are used to ridiculous amounts of abuse and temperatures. I wore flip flops all last (granted, California) winter while in a heavy hoodie and jeans. vv



huff.

My feet also don't get cold, I don't sleep with the covers over my feet, because it bugs the holy hell out of me. If Mr. Mis or one of my cubs cover me while I'm sleeping on the couch they make sure the blanket doesn't cover my feet.

If I could get away with it I would go barefoot all the time.

Mr. Mis was born and raised in California, so he puts on a heavy coat if the temp is in the low 60s or at least he use to, but doesn't anymore since I told him he was being silly and it was why security follows him around in stores.

I am from South Dakota so I don't get cold easily.

I love flipfops. I have more of them than any other kind of shoe. Some are for indoors, some for outdoors, and some I've had for several years. Also love hoodies. Generally don't wear them together. As for the bun, I don't get McG's comment about "where a bun should be". To me, that all depends on the wearer's bone structure. I would look ridiculous with it on the very top of my head, but some girls look cute that way. I have to say people comment how cute it is if I wear a curly, messy bun.

Hence, I wear Birkenstocks instead. They support my feet great and wear like iron.

My SIL and MIL sing their praises because they've got good support. I'm still not sure I follow why they say that I should try them. I think they're not listening when I tell them I have orthotics that I need to wear (immediate pain if I don't, although I can go barefoot somehow).

I don't get McG's comment about "where a bun should be".

Buns are almost always worn at the back of the head, up fairly high. The only time I've seen them on the top of the head is with the fold-over type, rather than real buns. It's very difficult to put your hair on top of your head without it looking messy (yes, I've tried). I'm further going to guess that McG took ballet or something else where they required her to learn how to do hair and makeup.

I usually just wear my hair in a ponytail if I ever put it up, and leave my shorter layers hanging out.

[Peppergirl]

My hair has gotten really long...so it looks like one of those 'meatball buns' when its on my head.

And I wear the sweats with hoodies and flip-flops. At my age.

I'm the same way Goddess.....no shoes past the door here!

My household (me, Mr. Anti-Social, and whoever is occupying the third room) have been doing the no shoes thing for years. Actually since we moved into this apartment almost five years ago.

Since the entire apartment is carpeted except for the kitchen and bathrooms, it's pretty easy. We just take off our shoes at the door. No new roommate has had a serious problem with this.

I don't even own a pair of flip flops.

Nor do I. Nor will I ever. Sandals, yes. Love my sandals. Tevas or Teva knockoffs usually. But they are sandals that go OVER my toes and around my ankles, not between my toes.

I hate the between-the-toes thing, and I despise that whole flap-flap-flap thing that you get with flip-flops. HATE.

Quick painless hair solution: french braid. Almost as quick, but not a french braid every day solution: two braids and pin them up on top of your head like an old-fashioned German lady.

As a "hair guy," I love both those looks. I actually even had my own hair braided once, back when I had long hair. I was at a Renaissance Festival in Phoenix, bumped into a female friend, and she braided my hair in a single braid in back. Kinda cool. Couldn't do it now, of course, what with my short hair and all.

AND IM WEARING YOGA PANTS AT THAT.

Okay, I give up....what are yoga pants????

Mr. Mis was born and raised in California, so he puts on a heavy coat if the temp is in the low 60s...

Low 60's are COLD! (said the boy from Arizona that lives in Florida....)

If you grow your hair long enough, find someone who can do a four stranded braid (a sennit, it's a round one). I do this one for Jackdaw all the time, it's what he was wearing when he got mistaken for a mob enforcer. The catch is I think it might actually look better with less hair. It never looks good on me. I'm not sure if this is that it's hard to do on yourself, or if it's masculine, or if it's a quantity of hair issue.

relatively snug, sometimes a bit looser, pants you do yoga in. http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/produc...605302afa90145
