How to dress warmly while packing lightly for winter

Dressing warmly while packing lightly? That seems like a contradiction. However, it is possible to do it without spending tons of money. Packing light for air travel Ideally, what I strive for is to travel while having all my belongings in two bags. My personal bag, a Tenba Solstice 20L camera bag, easily slips under the seat. I keep some snacks, earbuds, and a USB charger inside along with…

How To: Weather Bag!

I remember moving out of California, it was empowering. I have long had the nickname: Cali Girl. I think my ex still calls me by that nickname, but along with the name comes a reputation. When the first winter in Nevada hit, man-I was the laughingstock of the town. Since then, I have vowed to never be caught in any weather unprepared. 

In my head, I started this post off as a “weather bag” post. Like you have weather stuff in a bag and you are just ready to go. And honestly that is the start, but it has evolved to a weather proof closet, that also holds bags. Let’s go by each season...

Fall:

Knit hat/Beanie

Neck warmer

Knit Gloves

Scarf

Lined leggings

Wind Breaker (Tommy Hilfiger/Costco)

Winter: 

32 deg warm (lined Sherpa vest, base layer pant and shirt, jacket, pant, unlined vest, beanie, gloves, scarf)

Snow boots (khombu-Costco)

Weatherproof Socks (Costco)

Winter Jacket (Tommy Hilfiger/Costco)

- There are four seasons to a year, but there is a mid point between each season. If you look at other worldly calendars and holidays based on calendars, there 8+. So some of the items will work for the warmer or colder parts of the year due to this reason. -

- Also, 32 degrees is a brand that makes clothes to keep you warm or cold, with the ability to do either built into the fabric, not a chargeable or chilled clothing. For colder months go 32 deg warm/for warmer months go 32 deg cold. I am not saying get all the items right now, but look out for sales or in Costco. - 

Spring: 

Umbrella

Leggings

Hat (water proof/wind/sun-amazon) 

Gloves (waterproof, amazon)

Rain boots (nautica-TJ Maxx)

Rain jacket (Tommy hilfiger-Costco)

Rainier short/capri (Eddie Bauer-Costco)

Summer: 

Hat (Solar escape-Costco)

3 in 1 fan

32 deg cool (dress, pant, sweaters, shirts, shorts, skirts)

Outdoor sandals (khombu-Costco)

Keep cool neck gait

Athletic wear/tennis shoes

So that covers the what, how many now? It is never a bad idea to have more than 1 on hand. One reason, is because if you have unprepared company-you can be a helpful host! Another reason I like it, is sometimes I get a hat from traveling and it has sentimental value. So if I don’t have to worry about ruining a sentimental thing, but still be prepared. Is there a concern you get a thing and never use it? Maybe, but this is where I tell you my idea of making shadow boxes for special trips and putting photos/items from that trip in it. 

Cali has seen some ACTUAL weather recently, so even though I am prepared-something I thought might be silly since I ended up back home and probably here for a while, the universe rewards preparedness! But, what does this timeless post have to do with the rest of the year? The upcoming sunshine? This simple rule: 

“You never look for a swimsuit in summertime”.

Ever notice how you look for a swimsuit in summer, don’t use it in winter and lose weight somehow and want to look hot-and can’t find one? That is because you are looking at the same time as the rest of the unprepared world. You prepare before the rest of the world. This idea applies to lined leggings for winter, and sun hats for the summer. Don’t get caught in the rain without an umbrella!

I had almost finished my autumn girl transition and BAM heatwave

[electricpurrs]

today i woke up early to go to a therapy session and the new therapist is very nice and then i i got to walk through the town on my own and i stopped at the local bakery to get a snack and behind the counter there were like four women who were chatting and joking to each other to a point they started laughing really loud and one was hitting the counter at how much they laughed whatever they were talking about. and then on my way back i got my dad to give me a ride home and buy me a monster energy for free. needless to say today is a beautiful day and i hope everybody is happy forever

SCREAMINGGGG But literally. the issue is when youve been exposed to too much of fukumotos artstyle it stops registering as weird to you so at this point i barely notice it but like seriously. Actually even though its not kaiji akagi's face structure is like basically the exact same so im going to take this opportunity to share my favorite screenshot of basically any wiki ever
