No, I did not draw this. Nor, did I have a cute niece or nephew draw it for me. I am a creep and stole a child's depiction of what seasonal wear is (a well done depiction I might add) to illustrate a point.
I have always struggled with what I'm about to tell you. Always.
I dress according to the weather. When I see it's going to be 90 degrees outside, I wear light clothing--perhaps a kind of sleeveless dress that you see above. Why? because it's hot outside.
Now conversely, when I hear it's going to be 30 degrees, I wear warmer clothing-perhaps a sweater dress that again, is so nicely pictured above. Why? because it's cold outside. And I would argue that most people do the same.
(You might be thinking this is all obvious, but it's bringing me to my point...) if we dress according to the weather, then why are we blasting air conditioning or heat? If I'm dressed for a hot day but the room I'm in is 68, then it defeats the purpose of my cute summer dress because I have to cover it up with that same cardigan that is worn all year long.
Listen America, if this is the way it's going to continue to go, then I propose that the stores just keep the same season of clothes all year long. Macy's, Forever, please no longer make cute silky dresses or tops. And J Crew and PacSun, also please avoid selling any wool cableknit sweaters or fuzzy lined hoodies. Lets all just wear thin cardigans all year long.
Either that, or please, please, let's just be reasonable with the temperatures at which we're setting our buildings. That way we can all continue to dress according to the seasons we all love.
(I'm tired of being uncomfortable)
thank you.
