But I hated Seventeen for showing wool skirts and sweaters in August. In Alabama, we have about 2 weeks to wear that stuff...in February.

My friends and I would always want to get those glorious wool outfits for our back-to-school clothes...in Houston, Texas. I particularly remember one lovely butterscotch sweater/skirt combination that I actually got to wear on a cool morning in late October. Of course, I was frying by noon.
