Headed back to my car tonight, I noticed two vans pull up in front of a local restaurant, Forge and Vine, and a throng of young men and women began to line up in the 26° Fahrenheit (-3.3° Celcius) weather.  But while the guys were wearing dress pants and sports shirts, the young women were wearing short dresses and heels.  Why does trendiness/fashion take precedence over what is practical in the dead of winter?
