Yes, I know, I have spent a good number of posts taking jabs at the frigid Canadian winter. Glad I’m doing my part to perpetuate the Canadian stereotype that we live with abnormal cold year round, and snow storms that only Eskimos know how to deal with.
As I fought my way through my closet last night, with admittedly a few tears in my eyes cause my shorts don’t fit quite like they used too, I realized, there are a few things I am going to miss about the cold winter weather.
Now that spring is in the air, gone are my excuses to wear big chucky sweaters with their fabulous bump errr roll covering properties.
Since the sun is shining I am forced to find something lighter to wear then jeans! Lets face it the right piece of cleverly crafted denim squeezes the bod in all the right places, providing a fantastic illusion of a perfectly fit body. A frilly little sundress can’t do this! You can’t hide your cottage cheese thighs in a sundress!
Even if I don’t spot shorts any more, the Capri’s I do favor still force me to shave my legs on semi regular basis. This means even more time must be added to the ever increasing plucking, picking and grooming schedule. And don’t get me started on the maintenance required for bikini season!
Long sleeve shirts must be traded in for cute little blousey tanks. (this could also read: Must shave underarms and lift some weights so when I wave you don’t see gross amounts of Survivor style armpit hair, and to ensure my arms stops waving when my hand does)
I no longer have an excuse to wear my precious Uggs. I know some people think they look ridiculous, but seriously, have you ever tried a pair of these babies on. They are like walking on a cloud. I must shelve them for the winter and dig out my sandals. Sandals mean pedicure. Not a bad thing, but when you have gone 6 months ignoring your tootsies you are going to need some professional help before you can take those feet out in public. Oh, and in Canada, the weather can turn from Ugg to Sandal overnight. FYI. I was ill prepared.
Signs of summer also means I must quickly start trading in the pop for water, and the chips for veggies. Eating all healthy? Sigh.
Yes, I do adore the spring and summer, but I have realized this having four seasons stuff has it’s advantages too. I’m already looking forward to the fall when I can pull out the chucky sweaters, eighty six the sandals, and indulge myself back up to my winter weight.
Yeah for Canada!

Kids here wear their uggs in summer in NC…lol. I am talking high school and college age. I guess it is because we don’t have cold weather very long and like you said, they are soooooo comfortable. I didn’t realize that you might still be getting snow now….wow.
I love getting pedicures….hate the constant shaving of my lilly white legs though. Yuck.
I hear you! I hated putting my Uggs away too! Hello white arms and legs!
I have those Uggs and I love them too! Since I started getting pedicures, I feel much better about sandal weather. 😉
I’m all about water sports, so summer is my time (that and we have no spring on the Texas Gulf Coast).
The only thing I hate is the bikini line update.
it’s all true…
but i still loooove me some summer the best! btw- it was around 93 degrees down here on sunday.. yikes!!
You’re right about the chunky sweaters but I’m happy to say goodbye to the thermal wear and boots!
I hear ya..but its till my favorite time of year..Ive been prepping all week..just to go to the beach on Saturday..and it was awesome..I did have a few stragglers though..hairs that went unnoticed…well not by my beach buddies..Lol..!
Summer IS a lot of work.
I’m glad that I’m not the only one with these problems! Alaska has been quite cold, and my body (and wardrobe) are unprepared for 70 degree days.
Amen Girlfriend! 🙂
Chucky sweaters? My imagination of this item is not good. I’m sure they are very attractive though.
I dig winter for the same reasons you do. I will dearly miss my Uggs this summer!
We must be twins.. i was thinking the same thing last week and i will miss my uggs the most too……
I know. All the summer preps: work out, eat less, pedicure. shave.
All worth it, though.
I am right there with you. I don’t have Uggs but I do want to own a pair. I had to laugh on the plucking and shaving. My daughter is almost 29 and she hates it! I said you better get use to it, it only gets worse. I love capri’s and today is a “shave your legs day for me!” The things we have to do to be beautiful.
