And just like that, the temps are below zero. Oh joy, my favourite season is here. *rolls eyes*
I love an infinity scarf. So much, I force them on my darling husband as well – they look amazing on him, and they’re as cozy as all get out. So when I spied this one a few months back (in that infinitely wearable teal colour, to boot) I snapped it up for him. And it’s so damned wonderful, I keep opening his drawer and pulling it out to wrap around my own neck almost every single day. What can I say – I’m a giver.
It looks plain old blue in this pic, but I assure you, it’s much more delicious looking in person. And soft to the tough. And can I help it if it goes with everything else I own? Because teal is just such a magnificent colour and its adorable on everyone on him on me? I mean, really. And you know I’m not all about dead-on matches with things, but when things work? They work.
I also regard this scarf as I do Bruce Willis’ dimpled smirk: it’s both mildly amusing and intensely comforting.
I’ve had this cable-knit sweater for close to one hundred years, and it’s still perfect. The deep v-neck has a tendency to embellish the boobie area, but I reckon that’s not a bad thing when you’re covered in all the other places. Moderation, yo. The only thing un-perfect about it is it’s hard to stuff their wide bat-wing sleeves into coats. Play your sad trombone for me now. Womp-womp.
Teal cords. Because, teal. And because, cords. Did I say it’s become winter outside all of a sudden and that it’s my favourite? *rolls eyes again* Thankfully, cords are cozy. And thanks to all that dumb non-exercise I’ve been doing, these skinny cords I picked up from Forever 21 last season (or so) still fit. Okay, and they also have a huge amount of stretch in them, so I’d be pulling them on over my ass anyway… but they look alright. Yay for me.
PS – socks with stripes = happiness.

Cords. Love cords. Must get velvet pants. And I have so many infinity scarves that I feel nekked without a big warm blob wrapped around my neck…
ME TOO! On the infinity scarves, I mean. I need more cords, though. And velvet pants, apparently. Mmmm… velvet…
haven’t found cords i like…however i found a pair of teal VELVET pants that make me all wha-hoo!
VELVET??! Wah-hoo, indeed, girl! I want some… I can haz velvet pantz too, pleez??! 😀
joe fresh, red, blue, black, brown, green, yummy!
Cool… I’ll check it out! Thanks!!
ooh, good tip! I love the idea of velvet pants, but rarely find them in fits that work on me, so I’m going to cross my fingers on this!
I’m a fan of cords, too – nothing says cozy like that. Gap has some nice ones in the real straight fit, Julie, they are pretty forgiving, unlike the legging fit, yikes.
And I am thinking I need to try an infinity scarf because they look like you could pull one loop up like a hood in a pinch which, awesome.
Yes, you can do EXACTLY THAT with one of those infinity scarves, Alice. And if you throw sunglasses on, you become practically invisible. Sometimes a lady needs to escape in a hurry… I mean, you read books… you know…
