I just got in it's night now and it's 23F. It will get 20 degrees colder in a few weeks. I am not sure what I can do b.c I can't possibly think of what else I could layer with.

I need you to empathize with me on how much I struggle with getting out of the apt in the morning - and getting around a large city with all these layers. And this is just the list of the items I wear before I put on my jacket and jeans.

PARTICLES OF CLOTHING (from head to toe):

-blue forehead warmer
-pink behind the head earmuffs
-fur hat with ear flaps
-lycra tank-top
-green cotton long-sleeve
-grey wool zip up
-white down vest
-patterned arm warmers
-wrist warmers
-pink finger warmers
-maroon gloves with extra long wrist warmers
-1st layer of cotton tights
-2nd layer of cashmere/wool tights
-1st layer of socks
-2nd layer of wool socks
-pink leg warmers

after I put all this on - in the picture below is my jacket, jeans, wool scarf.

This is what I put on after the clothing you see in picture TRICIA's BEIJING DAILY WEAR-2.

After I put everything on - I look like a freaking giant padded green bear. All you can see are my eyes.

My secret joy at the end of day is when I run into my apt and take all the layers off to put on my t-shirt and sweats- and I move my bare toes against the hard wood floor - it reminds me that I have real skin and in a few months I can wear sandals and dresses again.
