warm clothes for really cold natured girl?

[rocket surgery]

I start my BSN program in the Fall. I live in Houston, where the outside weather is hot and the inside air-conditioning is freezing. I'm looking for advice on what to wear to class (not clinicals) that will keep me warm and comfortable. I'm thinking some combination of leggings (extra-thick or fleece-lined) and Uggs, but I'm not sure what to wear on top that will cover my butt and not make me look like a complete slob.

In my prereq classes, I ended up with a uniform of wide-led thick cotton lounge pants, another pair of thin, loose cotton pants underneath, a long-sleeve cotton t-shirt, and a long-sleeve cotton hoodie. Even with all those layers, I was still cold at times!

Any advice from other super cold-natured girls would be greatly appreciated!

My advice? Get your circulation checked. haha. Just kidding.

I live in Seattle and have a love relationship with my Denali North Face Fleece. Never get cold and its comfy. This is a funny question though. We don't have have AC here (In most places), so usually I'm trying to figure out how to cool down in the summer....

A lot of girls wear leggings underneath their jeans and their scrubs. Our professors like to keep it freezing in class!! Some students bring blankets too haha. Good luck staying warm!

It's going to be like 65 at the most (or least!). What more do you really need to stay warm? A long sleeved shirt, pants, and shoes...

I understand. That AC chills me to the bone and then I cannot get warm the rest of the day. My base temp is 97, so I'm already lower than I should be.

I wear these: http://www.amazon.com/Under-Armour-Womens-HeatGear-1001232-600/dp/B001CDEN0M/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1302621686&sr=8-9 under my regular tops. It seems if I keep my core warm I'm OK.

Stay warm in Texas! lol (Can't even believe I'm saying that)

I'm not really understanding your question. Just wear whatever you wear when the AC is turned up. No one in class is going to judge you. I see people in class wearing sweats every day. Not a big deal, we're students.

I know, I was just messing around. I can't help but watch that show. Ashton Kutcher said "Jersey shore is like cops, before the cops show up" haha so true! It's such a train wreck that I guess that's why I watch it.

Yeah, I can't stand it. I made a career out of dealing with yelling drunks, lol. I don't want to see it on tv.
