Light blue, not red. That's the whole bit. Red hearts are for places with functioning weather. This is the heart of someone who loves their state the way you love a walk-in freezer: deeply, genuinely, and with full knowledge that it will hurt you from roughly November to the second week of May.
It's lake water in April. It's the windchill off a Great Lake that goes through your coat, your skin, and your will to live. It's four seasons: winter, still winter, pothole, and twelve glorious days of boat weather that everyone talks about until Christmas. We hold up our hand to show people where we live because we're proud of a place that freezes our face off, and honestly? Pass the fudge. Pass the coney. We're staying.
Built from soft, substantial fabric with a smooth print that won't crack after two washes, so it layers under a parka or stands alone during that brief heat wave. Comfortable enough to wear until the lakes refreeze.
