Possibly mistaken

but I thought it was summer! Right now gale force winds, scattered showers the odd spot of sunshine, what the fcuk to wear. Surely not my winter duds, but my summer attire will not protect me from the chilling winds and rain. I suppose I could do the layering with cottons, linens the lot. Would I be creating a new fashion statement to reflect the irish weather?

Feel free to berate my complete and utter ignorance of the realms of fashion, but....
could you not wear a jacket/top, possibly a scarf too, these things can be tied around the waist should the day improve?

Yes, it is summer but it's an IRISH summer. Totally different season to a summer in Spain, Italy, France or most other European countries.

The blinding faith of Irish girls (me included) is amazing. Every year we don our linens and cottons with nice summer shoes in anticipation for the 'summer' and then have to sit in work being cold for the whole day and swearing tomorrow we'll wear something warmer - but we never do. Presumably, we are thinking of the hot weather we had for those two weeks in Spain, Greece or wherever and not the breezy, cloudy 18oc summer we ALWAYS have in Ireland with a couple of nice weeks thrown in at September which we affectionately refer to as an INDIAN summer.

Will we ever learn to wear a cardigan and a jacket every day just in case?

For the past two nights i've had to dig out the winter pjs again, so very cold. brrrr...

With the leaving cert dates coming up soon we should be getting two weeks or so of good weather then *fingers crossed*

Now girls, I am positive that this summer is going to be a god 'un! I'm off work for the whole summer (on maternity leave) and have my cropped/linen trousers at the ready. I will be trotting around town wearing said clothes and pushing my pram gloating that all my collegues are stuck in a stuffy office!

haha yeah of course. though really we should be getting a bit now too, what with college exams being on. & the lead up to the lc is usually quite nice out too.. *remembers being chained to the desk staring sadly out the window*
