Please do not Even Try to Tell me You're not Freezing!

So, here we stand in the middle of winter. We have had on- again, off-again rain for the past month with crisp winds and beyond chilly-nights. Now, San Francisco is an interesting city for a countless number of reasons, but I have theorized that because San Francisco is in California, an out-of-towner naturally assumes that it is warm here, much like the cities in Southern California. Ladies, ladies, ladies...do yourself a favor and save yourself a freezing afternoon by dressing appropriately for the weather. The white flip-flops and tank-tops need to be stashed away for the winter and maybe will be allowed to venture out again come spring (fall if you are in fact living in San Francisco). There is no way that your toes are not on the verge of frostbite in forty-eight degree weather with winds up to fifty miles per hour, while you are standing at the bus stop. C'mon. This just needs to stop. Give those little toes a treat and buy some closed-toed shoes. Frankly, flip-flops are a piece of apparel that should only make appearances at the beach or any other water scene, so if you are in fact wearing a pair of these so-called "shoes" in the dead of winter, it is past time to invest in a real shoe and put those other things into hibernation.

  1. Again with the flip flops... There are just some things that aren't meant for everyday use. I think you should minus points for Old Navy flip flops. I'm all for cheap, but those sandals are ugly, uncomfortable and not hygienic.

  2. Saving footwear for later, this has always been an odd dynamic to me. Okay, so I'm exceptionally warm blooded, and it takes about 45 degrees or lower before I start to feel cold. Now, I'm a dude, so I'm generally wearing pants in these scenarios. If the girl isn't cold? Then, don't bundle up. But for the life of me, I can't get why people act as if goosebumps from the wind-chill are sexy and something that I should be privy to seeing. If you're cold, dress warmer. If not, then whatever.

  3. This is another post that reminds me of freshman year. All the people who came here from socal and left after one semester. Whenever a single ray of sunshine came about, they were out on the lawn in bathing suits trying to tan. Not really a thing here.

  4. Now being that I am from where the sun shines and the weather is pretty hot, I naturally wanted to where sandals when I first moved to San Francisco. After day 1 of almost having to get my toes amputated for frost bite I figured closed shoes were the way to go! haha
