The J-man just walked into the room and commented on how sexy my legs look in those tiny shorts that I had on.
Now, before you close this page for its R-rated contents, please read on. Because what he said next made me want to clonk him on his big fat head.
"...compared to how unattractive you look in your long johns in the winter, when we were in Shanghai. I hated those things."
To clarify. I am a tropical girl. I have lived 24 years of my life on the sunny island of Singapore, where it is summer all. year. round. So when i moved to China (where i met the J-man), it was my very first time living and dealing with winter. I hated it. I hated the bone-chilling cold and the biting winds. I hated the idea of piling on layers that made me feel fat and claustrophobic (i had zilch winter fashion sense). Chinese apartments had NO central heating, so in order to keep our place relatively warm, we had to blast the heaters and radiators in every room. To save on electricity, i pile on layers at home (which explains walking around in unglamorous long johns). But I'm AT HOME! *whines*
Thankfully, I've upped the winter fashion sense a little. And praise the heavens for central heating, i have since ditched those unsightly long johns.

This winter, I am ONLY going to wear oversized knitted sweaters and leggings. I am loving the look! But also, maybe the leggings will give him nightmares of the long johns past.
What are you wearing this winter?
is it really time for winter talk already? im still enjoying my summer too much!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so ready for cooler weather, I'm not a summer girl at all. I'm already wearing tights and cardigans even though it's still in the 70s :/
ReplyDeletewow, these sweaters are totally fantastic... i got a great one at AE that I've been wearing this summer ;) couldn't wait until it got cold!
ReplyDeleteUgh. Winter. I can't sleep in anything restricting, because I get really sweaty at night. So I stick with the sweatshirts and loose pj pants most of the time.
ReplyDeleteoh wow, i don't know how i'd survive in that type of weather! it doesn't get that cold here in southern california during winter time (which makes me a little sad because i love coats, scarves, gloves and winter wear). at least you have more options ;)
ReplyDelete<3
in the colder months, i live in oversized sweaters and tights with boots. looks like you have some super cute sweaters on your radar!
ReplyDeleteLoving all these knitted goods :) I am so darn excited for the autumn, this is my favourite month <3
ReplyDeletenot ready for winter yet! here in london summer never came or came for a few hours and left abruptly!!! :-(
ReplyDeleteHehehe, I love winter! I don't have any long-johns, but I definitely have some unattractive winter lounging looks, including many sets of Christmas flannel pajamas, hehe :) But they are so warm and soft! I really love the sweater-with-leggings look though, that is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, I grew up in a warm climate, and now I live in San Diego so I never really have to wear too many layers since it doesn't get very cold. BUT it does get *somewhat* chilly and I have my eye on a new seafoam green sweater and booties!
ReplyDeleteI love "winter" (50 degrees is freezing in So Cal, ya know) and I love the sweater and leggings look too! I will be dressed the same this winter. :D
