Winter in Ohio: acrylic socks, cabin slippers, sweatpants, tshirt, sweatshirt, fleece vest.
Fleece vests rule in the cold weather!

They changed the dress code after I graduated.
It's -20 and you have to walk a half mile to the bus stop? Too bad, pants aren't feminine.
In the winter we could wear pants under our dresses in grade school anyway. Kind of silly, but dang it, that skirt had to be there.
I remember participating in a sit-in in high school (around '71) to protest not being able to wear jeans to school. For some reason I've never understood, the school officials folded and we won. That's not the kind of example we needed to have set for us. Gave me ideas about authority, scarred me for life.

I have fallen in love with the LL Bean fleece lined jeans for Michigan winters. They are so warm that they feel like they just came out of the dryer when you put them on. Similarly, a light fleece top with a hood is really comfortable. If you get caught outdoors without a hat, you can just flip up the hood.
For some reason, I find the fleece lined ones itchy, but I do like the flannel lined.
So what are you going to wear under the Abaya?

Right now: tailored pants, cuddly Yukon sweatshirt and sneakers.
I have several dress codes at work: scrubs for ICU patient care, business for high level meetings, business casual for days at the office with academic or casual meetings.
I HATE pantyhose and avoid them like the plague.
I will be visiting Saudi Arabia in the near future and already have my abaya. It comes with a headscarf and is very, very black. Hijab not necessary, apparently, except by special request. Abaya is very comfortable and means no need to take suits: Hooray!
