I work outside for a living so I usually just wear a windbreaker from 10-30 when it is colder than 10 I have a sweatshirt on under it. When it hits 30 or above I am moving around so much I am usually in my shirt only.

Hello my name is quarterhorsemom and I am a cold wussy. I hate the cold I hate the windchill even more.
I keep the windows up, i wear a jacket if its 65-70 and a parka below 65.
the barn where i work has a policy of if you need a jacket the horses get to have their balnkets on. Well that rule went out the window when I began working because at 50 or above they get to have their blankets off. Well since I wear a jacket I had to put a thermometer on the wall.
