Ask the building to fix it. Have you actually tried that?

I have a little usb heating pad that I can sit on or put behind my back. It’s not visible, but keeps me warm. Sometimes I put it over my lap, but it’s meant to be sat or leaned on.

I saw electric vests at costco during the winter. Electric handwarmers, wear winter boots and a hat

I almost never wear dresses because of this. If it's really cold, you could even bring long johns to put under your pants at work, but I find that with long pants and warm socks, that helps a lot. I also keep a warm cardigan in the office. I had a colleague that kept a large shawl that she would wrap around herself.

I actually liked the brief period when people were masking in the office because at least it kept my nose warm.

When it’s cold enough you won’t care about the grandma look! Sorry, kidding, OP. I agree with electric blanket if it’s allowed.

An electric throw to use while you are sitting down?

I'm so sorry! I hate that. I haven't cracked it myself. I don't have any suggestions that LOOK good, but wool socks and a mug I keep full with a hot drink to hold help, since I lose feeling in my fingers and toes very easily. Going on brief walks outside, or taking walking meetings if possible, helps a lot too.

Besides a space heater (which I'm not allowed to have), give me your suggestions of a blanket/wrap/something?? I can keep at the office and not freeze to death but also not look like I'm a grandma.

(why is the air conditioning blasting? It's only 60 dergrees outside!)
