The weather here in Tennessee is crazy. One of my students described it best when she called it bipolar. I mean, so far this winter we have had two spells where it was over 70 degrees and two spells where it was below freezing and even 6″ of snow on the ground once! With weather changes like that it makes it hard to get dressed in the morning without checking what it’s going to feel like outside. It also makes colds and allergies worse! A simple cowl like the Primrose Cowl is perfect because it is warm without being too warm and can easily be taken off if the weather is warmer than I thought it was going to be.
