Time to put on several extra layers of UNDERWEAR!
I've talked about thermals and how to enjoy wearing them a bit more before, but some things can just never have too much said about them!
Yes, alright, there probably isn't a neverending story about wearing woolen vests. But that is no reason to forget about it.
Last time I talked about Droog and Rococo-inspired undies; this time I'ma shoot for Cowboys. Who doesn't love a good Western? Or at very least, the WARDROBE of a good Western? Preferably one that takes a focus that isn't "look how cool racism used to be", natch. They do exist.
I wanted to have a picture of Michael J Fox's Back to the Future pt3 half-bare arse here, hanging out the buttflap of his onesie, but it doesn't seem to be anywhere on the internet so you will just have to imagine it for yourself. If you so please!
The point, though, is that the Western onesie - "union suit" - is pretty iconic. Red or white, you'd know them if you saw them and it would probably put you in mind of some sort of character archetype. And isn't clothing that does that sort of more fun? Personally I would have a ball knowing all day that under my outer shell I was dressed like a cackling old loon who's been on the moonshine and will likely shoot you out of nerves when you climb the steps to the jailhouse.. Am I alone in this??
Surely not.
Click it to buy! Pretty good price, actually.
I know certain "basics" companies are selling similar items to this at the moment.. One in particular has advertising everywhere on the net, but I'm not going to suggest you buy from them.
If you're not into going the whole hog like that or prefer a more feminine slant, please consider like so:
Get a little saloon-y, no?
The shirt here, in a similar buttoned style to the union suits, is a hand-me-down originally from Fat Face. The thermal leggings (which are all over at the moment, if you like to buy new!) were 50p-ish from the PDSA charity shop. Need bloomers? If you can sew (even if only a little!), click here!. If not.. ebay? There's a search function to the left.. Or
try here!
When you're done, when you're a few seconds away from shootin' a bandit or singing a chorus and bending over on stage..
You get dressed (fully dressed). And go about your daily business. Feeling warmed!
You may not be able to find these items before the Challenge on Friday and Saturday, but there's no reason why you can't make a permanent lifestyle change, is there? Or set yourself this challenge a day every week, or every month, or..
It's good to be warm, wherever you are!
