It gets cold here. (I think!) It's been warm and raining now for a while. A friend I worked with last year wore boots everywhere, even when we went to NM! So I got in that habit, too.

There's a brand I like called Naturalizer. Very comfortable. I have a parking pass at work right now, but usually I have to walk about 5 blocks into the plant each day. Have to have comfortable shoes. Aerosoles are usually comfortable, too. And Dexter! I'm just starting to get back into a 2 inch heel again.

I've been criticized as being a clothes horse. But, oh well. Goodwill likes me, too, when I donate old clothes.

It got cold in Colorado too, and I did wear boots a little more often there, but mainly for the snow, or I wore dress cowboy boots for dancing. Those are really very comfortable. Mostly though, I'm a sandal type, and even when I lived in Colorado, I was barefoored indoors year round and wore sandals, or at least shoes I could slip out of easily, everywhere else. Dress shoes were almost always open-toed.

I don't like wearing a lot of clothes either and get by with the minimum at any given time. In summer, my pajamas are shorts and tank top. In winter, I switch to fleece bottoms with tank top. If I get cold, I throw on a robe for a little while. If the temperature hits 60, I'm in shorts and I wear short sleeves always. The only tops I own with long sleeves are very sheer and the only sweaters I own have short sleeves, except for one that I wear like a jacket. I just get too hot indoors in long sleeves any time of year, and I am indoors most of the time. I have mostly lighter weight jackets, although I do have one warm coat for when it is really cold out.
