So the slobs at Walmart are what you’re comparing us to, who are people too, but that’s not our whole state… ( people go out in actual jackets and I don’t know who goes out in a “parka” haha once it’s negative 15 you’ll be changing your mind about a parka). You’ll want an actual jacket.

Also do you want to talk about attire? I can probably suggest anything you want. Gothic? Victorian? Grunge? 90s pop? Don’t worry honey I’ve got you covered. Let me know!

Yes. Customers at Walmart. And it's not just winter. It's pretty much year around. People don't seem to take as much pride in their appearance as they used To. Put on a clean shirt. Comb your hair. You don't have to dress like you're homeless. You'd be surprised by how often people don't seem to even wear deodorant. It's gross. Natural deodorant has come a Long way. You can try to make a living and still have the ability to not look like you don't bathe. There are so many places to get free clothes that aren't torn, if you're that poor. It's just that many people don't take pride in how they look. Regardless of fashion choices. Make an effort.

I know what negative 15 feels like BTW. I've lived in Vermont for a few years and other places that are just as cold. I still make an effort to not stink or look like I live under a bridge.

Can’t wait to wear my fanciest clothes out soon and also take a shower! Did you guys know that were stinky and we’re basically hobos?
