I'm writing while wearing texting gloves because my hands were getting too cold to type and space heaters are in violation of our building's fire safety code. If you're that girl too, this season can be pretty unbearable.

So even though all of the other fashion girls are busy picking out their spring and pre-fall clothes, I'm too busy worrying about how absolutely freezing it is and how I can barely work unless properly dressed like an Arctic resident. Real talk.

Note: the pieces I've chosen below are even less girly than my usual not-at-all girly picks—but they work.

"First layer." I learned about this when I asked the Burton girls snowboard team how to not freeze your butt off on the slopes. This winter, you won't catch me running five feet to the bodega without my first layer on.
