If you are one of those folks that is never cold, you can stop reading now.
Sweaters or Sweatshirts – which would you prefer?
Before you answer, “Depends on what I am doing,” the question is for when you are in your own space.
I love sweatshirts. They can be really comfy.
But at work (violating the rules, I know) I wear cardigans. I wear one almost every day. I think I am my father, as I seem to remember him wearing cardigans too. And getting elbow patches when they became worn. Working indoors most of the time would seem to make sweaters a choice. But for us cold folks the few temperatures difference between the different parts of the building make an extra layer a necessity. This is so you can change in and out as you see fit.
At home, where sweatshirts normally rule, I am finding myself looking for sweaters more and more often. That woman mid-life thingie is partly to blame. I never used to want to take the sweatshirt off. But now, sometimes I just want to layer down. Taking sweatshirts all the way off involves glasses and long hair. I don’t have a real fancy hairdo, but it does pull those pesky side hairs out of whatever band happens to be trying to hold them in at the time.
In fact I am typing this with a sweatshirt mostly on. Arms not in, but with the cooling cycle upon me I have it pulled down over my elbows with just my hands sticking out.

Definitely, my black polartech zip-up hoodie from REI. Why didn’t I buy two? Or three? Or more?

I’m all about fleece. I have everything but a bra and underwear in fleece. really.
but I think having something with a zipper or buttons is probably more practical. which means that I too am my father/mother.

seeing as you mentioned your hair…. i feel that it is pertinent to tell you that i forbid you from getting your hair cut short until i get to straighten it. that is all.

Hmm, a fleece bra — that does sound comfy — unless it sets up static electricity w/ the next layer of fleece.
… in the lane, snow is glistening, Victoria’s Secret, are you listening?…
I’m a big fan of cardigans for work, b/c some of the rooms are chilly, and some are not. I don’t wear sweatshirts much, and when I bought the Soo Blue Devil hoody this summer, to wear to MRH Blue Devil games, I remembered why. Sweatshirts are just don’t have the same warmth to bulk ratio that wool or fleece does. I still love the Blue Devil Hoody though, for other reasons.
