It has been my observation that winter dramatically begins in January. Michigan has the Artic Expresses – very, very cold wind from the artic traveling along the jet stream, freezing everything in its path. Southern California has the Pineapple Express – weather that begins near the Hawaiian Islands crosses the cold Pacific Ocean and roars cold and wet across the State. Then there are the bitter cold Southern California Santa Ana winds that come howling across the Los Angeles Basin with the strength to tumble a 16- wheeler across the freeway.

Probably where you live there is bitter cold, nasty weather with a name too. No matter what you call it, it is cold winter weather.

Neither, rain, nor sleet or bitter cold can keep most of us from our determined destinations. What’s the solution? Layering is one answer, but there is a second solution not to be over looked. Long Sleeve shirts, blouses and tops. Long sleeves have the advantage of being figure flattering, fashionable and not as bulky as layers.

A day at work wearing a long sleeve garment keeps the chill away. Evening wear, long sleeve garments are romantic as well as practical.

Satin is traditionally a tantalizing winter fabric, a truth I have personally experienced, and which has been mentioned in several high fashion magazines. Placing a hand on a satin sleeve or slipping an arm around a satin draped body is extremely sensual – for the wearer as well as the wearee.

Satin Shirts are not all that easy to find but there is one premier clothing source, juniorTrends, that keeps step with all the latest fashion for Teens, Adults and Plus Sizes. They know their business and offer excellent customer service and fast shipping. I highly recommend JuniorTrends.co m as a clothing source for you.
