My secret weapon

thigh socks

These socks have changed my life. Let me explain…

Damp Vancouver winters are ~really~ cold for me. I can never get warm for very long. It doesn’t help that I seem to gravitate to 100 year old beautiful, yet drafty, residences.

I am always keenly aware of the nearest heat source and park myself there. If there is no mechanical heat producing device to be found, evolutionary survival instincts kick in… you will find me inching my way over to a kind soul willing to share their BTUs.

Physical activity and nutrition do help keep the circulation going but it’s never quite enough… my friends are mostly willing to snuggle but come on… it was time to step up. This season, I decided to get serious about meeting my own heat needs…

Hats, scarves, arm length gloves, long sleeves, layers and these amazing socks.

They are my secret weapon in the fight against the cold. And thanks to American Apparel, they’re also sweat shop free.
