So whilst it makes sense in the summer, places like shopping malls &amp; trains will often keep their AC on in WINTER too, to encourage air circulation ... </p> <p>Hence why I often still wear a coat indoors, even in my 'mild' subtropical winter climate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9cwomen%e2%80%99s-winter%e2%80%9d#post-2284950 Sat, 08 Oct 2022 00:19:02 +0000 DonnaF 2284950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like in most places energy conservation and lowering utility bills is not much of a consideration? I haven’t encountered arctic air in quite a few years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9cwomen%e2%80%99s-winter%e2%80%9d#post-2284942 Fri, 07 Oct 2022 23:41:15 +0000 Style Fan 2284942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had an office sweater!&nbsp; I wore a down vest in the office.&nbsp; My friend bought one at Jacobs (Canadians will remember that store), and I liked it so much that she bought me one.&nbsp; We were down vest twins. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9cwomen%e2%80%99s-winter%e2%80%9d#post-2284940 Fri, 07 Oct 2022 23:27:27 +0000 Cee 2284940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now, that's strategy,&nbsp;<b>Joy :D</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9cwomen%e2%80%99s-winter%e2%80%9d#post-2284821 Fri, 07 Oct 2022 14:34:01 +0000 Anonymous 2284821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You will get their attention if you bring in a fuzzy pet to sleep on your feet. &nbsp;Somebody will be allergic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9cwomen%e2%80%99s-winter%e2%80%9d#post-2284752 Fri, 07 Oct 2022 10:20:42 +0000 Anonymous 2284752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:( Can you bring in a little heater? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9cwomen%e2%80%99s-winter%e2%80%9d#post-2284748 Fri, 07 Oct 2022 10:05:33 +0000 Bijou 2284748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This can happen in many offices and was the case in my last job where one side of the building was warm (due to facing the sun) and my side freezing. I suggest keeping a cardigan or blazer in the office and desk shoes / boots to keep your feet warm when sitting at your desk. It is so crazy to be taking off your jacket to go outside. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9cwomen%e2%80%99s-winter%e2%80%9d#post-2284711 Fri, 07 Oct 2022 01:21:12 +0000 Cee 2284711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a job years ago where it was hot and stuffy during the winter and Artic during the summer and people would give me strange looks when I'd head off for the day where a top temperature was expected in the mid 30s ( celcius ) and I was wearing a ribbed knit turtleneck with a cardigan or jacket draped over my arm ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9cwomen%e2%80%99s-winter%e2%80%9d#post-2284606 Thu, 06 Oct 2022 12:13:29 +0000 Zaeobi 2284606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahh the good ol' days - back when CollegeHumor used to actually be, you know, humorous </p> <p>Dealt with this today - 27C outside but my fingers were frozen indoors (even whilst teaching on my feet for 8 hours)!

At work I have a footstool that is also a heater - oh my goodness, I love it. I think I use it more in summer than winter. I can slip off my shoes/sandals and have toasty warm feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9cwomen%e2%80%99s-winter%e2%80%9d#post-2284501 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 11:45:08 +0000 Dee 2284501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I just hated the excessive A/C when I was working.<br /> You'd have your cute little summer dress on outdoors only to have to bundle it up with big sweaters or wraps indoors as the temperatures dropped by over 10 degrees. I even slipped on socks with my sandals under my desk occasionally when I couldn't take the cold anymore but it wasn't the look I was going for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9cwomen%e2%80%99s-winter%e2%80%9d#post-2284498 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 11:13:37 +0000 Janet 2284498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh, I feel your pain. I used to have thermostat wars with one of my bosses (fortunately, rather good-natured ones, as we got along really well). His office was next to mine and he had the thermostat that controlled our area (development office of a private school). I’d sneak over when he ducked out for a meeting and bump the temp up a bit. I also had a space heater under my desk for winter. </p> <p>These days I’m the holdout in the household who hates to run AC or heat until we really need it.

Poor you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9cwomen%e2%80%99s-winter%e2%80%9d#post-2284430 Wed, 05 Oct 2022 02:05:18 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2284430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t know if anyone else remembers the SNL skit about summer in an air conditioned office being “Women’s Winter”, but the truth of it always made me laugh. I made out ok through the summer in my office, but they have recently rerouted most of the A/C into the office right behind my desk, and I am feeling it now. Luckily, I have been picking up jackets and pants as I find them, and have been on the hunt for warmer tops. Today, as my toes were numb with cold, I realized that I will need some closed toe shoes, as well!<br /> Brrrr…!<br /> I ordered a pair of booties from BaliElf to try. I hope they work, as I really only have one pair of closed toe shoes that are office appropriate. </p>
