Ahhh, Sturgis... my thermals are stretchy as a set of ballet leggings! I love your idea of tucking the pants into the top portion of socks, however. Hah -- what a fashion statement!
I'm wearing those black thermal pants AGAIN this morning, this time with a dark red, v-neck pajama top made of some wonderful knit that is very warm. I put on my pale blue down vest (reverses to a black flannel... Beth, you saw this vest in the Catskills) when I went out to feed the horse but it's hanging on a dining room chair now -- Temp outside is 42, temp inside is 71.
I do love wearing red and pale blue together.
