Well Lisa, while I have not slept in yet, I am wearing it again today and it does not bother my skin. I tend to not sleep in long undies so not sure I'll ever do that! Itchy is the wrong word. Textured perhaps is a better word, in contrast to my kate that feels like silk on my skin. BUT I have worn it for 2.5 days straight with nothing on under it, so that says something! Thanks so much Lisa for teaching me about layering. I think my ibex, coupled with my old LLbean fleece, silk, and columbia shell, give me every possible combo I'll need! I also plan to bring my goretex bottoms just in case it snows. They too are medium, but that means I can layer them over jeans or dress pants as needed.

I wore a nice thick cotton turtleneck Thursday. Y'know, the kind that seem more like a sweater than a mere shirt? I was miserably chilled. I put on my office sweater (cotton sweater that lives in my office) AND my Mountain Hardware fleece, but I was still clammy and chilled.

When I got home at the end of the day I finally realized it was because I wasn't wearing wool! I've been wearing wool against my skin every day for so much of this winter that cotton felt clammy! I immediately put on my Ibex Qu-T and Ibex Switchback and felt muuuuuch better.

Knot, you need a woolen office sweater!!!

do you have snow yet today?

[KnottedYet]

Yup, we had snow, but it melted.

I'm wearing a wool t-neck and my Switchback and wool long undies and wool socks. Wool on my skin is niiiiice.

OK, you guys are getting to me. When I was in Vermont, I saw my first "Shak" full zip. Not on sale and not my size. I signed up on the Ibex site for the free Shak contest. I've seen a few half zips on sale, but I really didn't feel like spending the $.
Today I went wool crazy. I ordered an Icebreaker sweater, 2 long sleeved wool base layers, and 2 short sleeve base layers from STP. All before 8 AM.

Save some money for when we meet up at the Arcadian Shop next weekend! They have Kates and shaks and Carrie Hoodies and everything!

Well, I got 10% off of all of the stuff, which was already deeply discounted. Steve got a hooded sweatshirt, and we got free shipping. I think I ended up paying 65.00 for the Icebreaker, which is about half price.

I am coming with all credit cards in hand next Sunday!
