The struggle: everything you wear is too warm or too cold
The change of seasons causes a significant error in my closet. I've gained a creamy edge around my belly this winter and that fits a bit less in and with all those frilly dresses that I wore last summer. But back to the real problem: I've been too warm or too cold for a week now. You can scold me and say that I should rinse my mouth because it's himmelhoch jauchzend nice weather for the twenty-fifth of February (the warmest ever recorded by the way, speaking of a little record), but that doesn't mean I don't feel warm or cold.
It's not my fault. In the evenings, I check all my weather apps, it feels more like a comparative weather research than just reading the weather report. Weeronline, Buienradar, my iPhone app, Windguru (you need that if you sail) and a quick look at the KNMI. If it turns out that it's really going to be around fifteen degrees, I safely leave the sweater in the closet and start with my dresses. Seems like a good idea until you step outside and a freezing cold pulls along your thighs that makes you spontaneously get a bladder infection. The neighbor is still scraping some ice off the windows and your nose starts to run by accident. So cold.
The next day, the same ritual takes place. Weeronline, Buienradar, my iPhone app, a quick look at Windguru... If it suddenly threatens to be only ten degrees, then the knitted sweater can still come to the office for another day. You get sweaty armpits a second after you put it on, your facial cream immediately drips to your chin and you're fanning yourself at the coffee table during breakfast. The rays over your back, so hot.
What on earth do you wear in and out with this weather? I thought today I would go for a longer blazer/jacket. I'm using the slash here because May thinks blazer is a silly word and Lil does not. Black shirt on, loose pants; the better layering work. Moral of the story: wearing a jacket is too hot, just in a shirt is too cold and that's logical because in the morning it's around freezing point and in the afternoon it's fifteen degrees. And that's still a fifteen-degree difference.
