It's simply not easy to dress "correctly." Today, for instance, I had a long-sleeve base layer under my tech t-shirt. I felt a little warm, but also knew that if I hadn't worn the sleeves I'd feel a little chilled. The "in between" temps are hard to dial in, and factor in the humidity and the wind. And then for me, I'm pretty close to Lake Michigan in a few spots and it's the time of year when it keeps things warmer than in certain spots. It can be frustrating. Tonight I'll skip the long sleeve and just wear the t-shirt.
