<p>I’ve lived in Maryland all my life, so I’m pretty well versed on the cold.
Long underwear is not necessary. If it gets REALLYREALLY cold, you can layer tights under your jeans or something. But I only do that when I’m going hiking or something in the dead of winter. If you’re planning on doing that, get some Under Armour.
Get yourself a cute coat - peacoats are really in. Look at all the coats on delias.com. They’re all adorable and warm.
A lot of people wear Uggs or vegan uggs, which are just about the warmest things on the planet for your feet. Crochet boots are really cute too. They’re on delias.com too.
Sweaters are good for layering purposes.
Scarves are good and so are hats. Beanies and hats with built in earmuff type things are good. There’s a special way to tie scarves so they’re good with peacoats.

You will most likely think it’s freezing at first. But you’ll slowly get used to it. A lot of girls in my school, myself included, wear skirts and leggings through winter because we’re used to it. Buy some thermal things to layer under, so you won’t freeze yourself.</p>
<p>Good luck. Hope to see you at Hamilton next year; I’m applying EDII!</p>
