Ht. 4'4, Wt. 220 - I have a really BIG problem. Ok here it is: I am going to like 3 trips this august for school and i have this bad habit of HAVING to wear a jacket. I don't know why i just feel so exposed and open without it. I don't like to show my body (specially my big blubbery arms). The problem is it's 100 degrees outside and if i wear my jacket (which is a denim jacket) i will be very very hot. I know this because yesterday mom took me shopping and i wore it. I was so hot but i still didn't take it off until my mom pleed me too. Please help me the trip is in 3 days!!

A possible solution is to wear one of those windbreaker jackets. Nike has them...they're expensive but they keep you cool. Don't wear black, because black absorbs heat. White reflects light, so it helps cool you down. KARINE

Reply from Shekina, Age 17 - 08/14/05 - IP#: 156.56.123.xxx I know how you feel. I hate showing off my arms, even though they are not that big (sometimes I feel like they are huge, sometimes not), but sometimes I just feel naked without long sleeves or a jacket. My advise to you is this: They make those long sleeved shrug type of things, and I have one that is really thin, light, material.And you wear it with a tank topunderneath. It would be fine to wear even in the summer. I got it at Target.
