new guest column! "Ask Miss Frigid"

Dear Miss Frigid,

My wife and I have been happily married for over 15 years.  She insists on wearing socks, long pants, a tank top, a long sleeve t-shirt, a sweater, scarf and hat to bed.  Is our love gone?

Dear C.H.A.D.:

I am not certain that we have the whole story from your letter.  I am sure if you turned up the heater in the bedroom and shared your amazing body heat more, she would not need to curl up underneath the down comforter with a heating pad on her feet.  Marriage is a compromise, but it is also about keeping your wife alive.

Dear Miss Frigid,

I thought that I was naked under my clothes, but yesterday I discovered that I am not.  Should I be concerned?

 - Not Naked in Seattle

 

Dear Not Naked:

What you are experiencing is a side-effect of being terribly cold.  Scientists call it “long underwear” and recent studies show that if you wait until spring, this extra layer will naturally go away!

Dear Miss Frigid,

What is the deal with leggings?

 - People are not thinking straight

 

Dear P.A.N.T.S:

Some people cannot deal with the fact that you should wear pants when in public.  They rationalize that leggings are ok as long as you wear them with big boots.  But really, who are they kidding?  They may be comfortable, but they are really only wearing thick black tights in public - how can they not be cold?  They have no shame in showing all the lumps, bumps, and wiggles, leaving nothing to the imagination.  Just keep in mind that you are not alone in your aversion to leggings and with time this horrible, horrible phase of fashion will go away where it belongs - back on the couch.

my big tan booty

These are some fairly new boots (brand = Kork Ease) that I am enjoying.  Although they are tan, I am liking them.

But in my attempt to clean out what is not being used, I am getting rid of these boots.  They look sad.

Bye-bye booties!

soft to hard

I started off my Monday soft, with a flowery girly scarf that I got from Target last week. (Oh Target, why am I so easy for you?)

And, I ended my day hard(core) at the YMCA with a 3.5 mile run.  This shirt is from Quechua, which is a cheap-o outdoor brand that I happily shopped at when in Switzerland.  Go me.

swants

I saw this and I just have to share.  Even if you have no intention of making swants, the photos alone are worth your 5 minutes.  enjoy.

orange

This orangy dress was a Goodwill find and it is a fine corduroy and it has pockets and it is a great fall/winter dress.  There are several ways I could approach the topic of this dress and I am uncertain what angle to take on today’s post...  Here are some options:

1.  About color: I paired the dress with blue tights, a blue slip and blue shoes.  I really try hard never ever to wear black and orange.  Why?  My high school experience is over and I no longer have to show school spirit (go bears!).  However, I do feel a bit bright for a Monday morning and I sort of feel like a Denver broncos fan.

2.  About the cold:   Ok, it was 40 degrees out today and I do question my choice of covering when the top half of me got the royal treatment of a down jacket while the bottom half had just tights separating me from nature.  I did make it a goal to wear clothes that are less realistic so I guess I am succeeding in this today even if I am super duper cold.

3.  About the slip: Although I grew up with Madonna and the fact that it is ok to have your undergarments show, it feels strange to me to have my blue slip show so much.  I am working through this discomfort today.
