Dear Stavangerers,
(that’s people from Stavanger, not counting the foreigners in my book!)

Rain gear and snow gear are NOT a daily option when you open your closet in the morning and ponder, like millions of other people around the world, “What should I wear today?”


A chance of rain (which let’s be frank is like a Sword of Damocles here) is NOT a good reason to grab that rain suit. Pouring rain MIGHT qualify as a good reason but ONLY if it’s pouring rain AND you are expected to stay outside for long period of time.


Having two INCHES of snow on the ground is also NOT a good reason to put on your snowsuit to go grocery shopping. I lived in Colorado, the Mile High City, and I don’t think I ever saw anybody with a snow suit at the grocery store. On the ski slopes yes, at the grocery stores no.


Thank you for your understanding and I will feel less overdressed in my t-shirt, 501’s and Converse next time I step foot outside. I don’t think I can dress down more than this.


Kindly,
Dress down girl

This does not apply to children; because their mothers already have way to much laundry to do, so owning rain gears and snow suits are a pre-requisite before entering the country!
