While I wistfully sketch ladies wearing mint-green scalloped shorts, the sunshine outside my window really only belies the comparatively Narnian-level temps, forcing me into cold weather clothing even as I stubbornly buy spring-weight sweaters and tees to wear underneath the black sleeping-bag-like mass that is my North Face parka. No really, it’s actually a sleeping bag with arms, a sleeping-bag-snuggie.
As usual, my illustrated girls are far more fashionably shrewd, choosing shearling and shades over my Michelin-man-parka-with-Nikes solution.
