My daughter and I went shopping yesterday and all I can say is that winter clothes are the best! I love winter for many reasons… the crisp cold air… the holidays… the snow… baking… snuggling up in blankets. But I think the thing I like most about winter is that the cold makes people dress in modest clothing.
Summer is awful when it comes to dressing modestly. There are far too many people out there wearing things that they really have no business wearing. The first thought that crosses my mind is where is your mother? A mother has the responsibility to be honest with her children in saying that something is inappropriate. I am certainly not from the 50’s Leave It To Beaver age where I am wearing a dress to clean the house, or white gloves to run to the store, but honestly is it too much to ask for a girl to wear a skirt or dress that covers her rear end… even when she has to pick up something off the floor? There are shorts out there that look like underwear. And men are just as bad. Shorts slung down below a beer belly with the Hawaiian shirt unbuttoned? It is certainly not an image I want imprinted in my brain.
But winter is full of warm corduroy pants, sweats, full and bulky sweaters, hats and gloves. Everyone is covered up. I am covered up. And with the holidays and all the yummy baking and Christmas goodies there are no worries about any slight bump or bulge from gaining a few pounds because it is covered with my thick warm sweatshirt, or puffy down coat. And there’s such variety! In the summer it is camisole, camisole, camisole. In winter it is, cardigan, sweatshirt, flannel shirt, cashmere, wool pants, and I could go on and on.
It’s comfortable and cozy, and those vital parts that Mom’s should teach their children to hide are covered.
This makes winter clothes loveable.
