This is a Timothy Goodman tote bag I snatched up from Uniqlo.
I recommend Uniqlo for winter clothes as well as their collaborations with designers like Goodman.
In New York City the weather veers from minus 2 degrees with the wind chill on a Friday to 52 degrees the following Thursday.
We cannot continue to deny that this fluctuation IS because of climate change.
What can each of us do to keep warm in the Northeast and wherever else it’s cold in the winter?
I recommend buying from Uniqlo their HeatTech thin long-sleeve tee shirts to wear under your shirts and sweaters in the arctic chill.
I own two HeatTech under-layers: one in off white and one in black.
For any of you who are Petite like me in clothing sizes I have good news:
The Uniqlo items might fit you in their regular sizes.
Uniqlo is a Japanese brand that has stores and delivery options in the USA too.
It’s true the Uniqlo clothes fit me in their regular sizes. I haven’t had to alter anything from Uniqlo yet. And I’m a person who has to get Petite clothes hemmed and shortened to boot. So I can vouch for the universality of their sizing if you’re petite.
Their lounge sets are also comfy and warm. They sell cashmere sweaters and have designer clothes collaborations too.
I’ll be wearing my HeatTech under-tee shirts throughout the winter this season.
The Timothy Goodman tote bag actually reads:
“You have to make a lot of stuff before you can make stuff like yourself.”
I endorse that statement. I’ll be 53 in the spring and the view from here is delightful.
I will return in coming blog entries to talking about life during “the change” for women.
Yes, menopause is a fact of older life for those of us who are women.
Wearing layers is the way to peel off outer clothes respectfully when you’re having hot flashes.
Thus: HeatTech to the rescue.
