short winter

My husband says I'm cold-blooded like a lizard...if I get cold I get slow, tired, and sad. Cold to me is painful. As a result of this, I wear long johns under everything I put on starting in October and don't stop until  April...and I live in Virginia. But even though cold is my lifelong nemesis and even though I struggle to never, ever, ever to feel even one spindly finger of jack frost touch even my nose, well, I can't help but want to try the shorts in the winter look...and I doubt it would be the same with my lovely long john's peeking out from underneath. Maybe if I dye them black.....
