41. Strip of sweatshirt about 15" wide and able to circumnavigate your head at an angle

that will allow you to pull it over the tops of your ears if it's windy. You can either stitch straight across the top and either have it stand up straight with a couple of points (tassels help) or put it on with one of the points facing forward and just pull it into a slouch; OR you can gather/pleat it at the top for a rounder silhouette. The bottom can either be folded up an inch or so or simply rolled.

After all, this stuff will most likely be languishing in the back of a cupboard for the next decade after this stinking weather blows out and it gets more normal again.

I slept in old momjeans and a sweater last night. I needed to. The wind is no longer a factor, so I can wear my usual shorts and t-shirt tonight.
