San Diego has always been an oasis in that it is ALWAYS warm and when it isn't 70+ outside, it is never below 60. One needs a constant supply of hoodies and cardigans since no one has heaters in their houses (or rarely turns them on) but generally, one is able to wear any outfit, any time of the year.
Recently, it has started (gasp!) raining and it's (tear!) pretty cold. Cold in the way that mid to high 50s with a lot of moisture in the air can be pretty hard on us spoiled San Diegans. So how does one dress when one's closet does not have seasonal clothing but rather scarves to be worn with tank tops and coats to be worn with shorts?!
I have resorted to a few of the following stay-warm-and-dry methods:
1. Scarves for warmth, not just style- Suddenly those plain cotton American Apparel scarves are relatively useless and I'm resorting to the thicker knit ones
2. "FUGGs"- I have yet to spend the money for a real pair of Uggs (i'm considering the new slate gray ones) but have had a steady stream of Fuggs (Fake Uggs) which do just fine. I normally only wear them on winter trips to NYC but have started wearing them in public. It's a bit embarrassing
3. Wool socks- OMG. Costco wool socks are amazing. 5 pairs for $10 and they are so warm and in NO way itchy. Trust.
4. Cardigan plus jacket- I have been wearing my cotton black j.crew blazer over my signature cardigans a lot in order to add a level of warmth.
Pictures of said items will be posted eventually.
