What do I wear?

The morning always comes even when we are dreading it...especially when we are dreading it.  As the dark of Winter is sleepily stretching its’ toes into Spring, Coloradans are faced with the time of year that is 20 degrees in the morning, 45 at lunchtime, 60 on your evening run and back to freezing when the sun dips below the front range. Layers are a necessity this time of year for anyone who works between 2 of these three temperature-time-zones. Many adopt a specific method for hauling the necessary sweaters. Option one is the classic car closet. The pros are always enough room to throw in an extra flannel “just in case:”, the cons are eventually you will forget what is piled in your backseat and carpooling will become less and less possible. Option two is the backpack. This method is a pro for anyone who walks, bikes, scooters, or takes public transit, however you will turn back into your middle school all-textbooks-in-the-backpack-self for at least two temperature changes. Down in Brazil it is still summer and no matter the layer dilemma or how much self control it took to pull yourself away from bed this morning-there is still time for a morning cup of coffee, a Dado happy hour, and a cold walk home. Time for whatever it takes until you come to the conclusion that it’s not too crazy of an adventure to buy a boat and move somewhere just south of the expected®
