Better To Retain Heat Than Look Neat
I have to take exception to JB's advice on winter wardrobes. When it's morbidly cold outside like it is today, fashion takes a back seat to comfort.
I wore what could be described as a "ski jacket" to work today, complimented by a pair of Hotfingers gloves. Of course I was also sporting jeans and an Irish fishing sweater (at least that's what it brings to my mind-I constantly have to fight the urge to hum the Irish Spring jingle when I'm wearing it) instead of traditional bidness attire so my winter wear wasn't as out of place as in the example that JB noted.
During my college days I learned that staying warm was much more important than looking cool. After a couple of episodes of damn near freezing my ears off as I walked across the bitterly cold, wind swept campus of the University of North Dakota, I realized that I would rather put up with hat hair than frostbite.
Unless you can afford to drop some big ching, most business appropriate outer wear just ain't all that warm, especially when you're talking significant wind chill factors.
I can handle winter weather. In fact I rather enjoy it. But if I'm going to deal with it I'm going to dress for it, and that means dressing warm.
By the way, just for the record, I do not now, and never have, owned a lunch tote.
