SHE: Tries to Stay Warm

Hey Y'all,

We got snow!! I love snow don't you?  (ok, we got a very light dusting, it could certainly have been a bigger snow). But we did get a lot of COLD! Oh my stars, it is so cold here! But it's January, right? And now with cold weather that means we have to dress warmly. I am definitely not a fan of coats. I like a jacket/ sweater but coats are constraining and bulky and too warm as soon
as you get into your building. But we are supposed to wear them to stay warm and not get sick. Fortunately, scarves are a popular fashion accessory that I can wear without too much added bulk on those in between days when a light jacket or sweater are almost enough. 

This creates my next dilemma, scarves come in all different shapes and lengths - how do I wear each different style?  Here are some examples that will have you tying the perfect scarf in no time.

I have a blanket scarf that I wear, well, like a blanket.  I am claustrophobic so I don't like things too closely around my neck. The blanket scarf is easy to throw on and head out the door.  And it can be worn so many different ways.   

There are also some very classic wrap around ways to wear your scarf too, that look so pretty and give you the added warmth you need.  So what is you go to use for a scarf and staying warm? 

Once you learn to tie them, these same styles can be used with thinner weight scarves for Spring and Summer.  Whatever the occasion, if you need a scarf to complete your OOTD, I am sure you can find a style here.

Bundle up and stay warm friends!!

SHE: Does A Little Daydreaming

Hey Y’all,

I know the calendar says August, but with kiddos back in school I am dreaming of my favorite time of the year~ fall.  I love fall! The colors, the smells, the crisp air, fun clothes and it’s also the season of pumpkin everything.  J  (Even though I don’t drink “hot” drinks, pumpkin spice lattes smell heavenly).  Fall in the South, also means football, tailgating and lots of activities.

To me, fall also means comfort. That sounds weird doesn’t it? But you know what I mean… Pretty décor, comfy clothes, warm hearty dinners, these are things that are inviting.  I have been doing a little day dreaming this weekend about fall and looking for some new ideas for this season. And where can you find more inspiration than Pinterest?  If you follow me on Pinterest, sorry I may have blown up your feed with Fall EVERYTHING.   

Here are just a few things that caught my eye:

·      Decorations:  love these ideas, they just say “Welcome  Home” don’t you think? 

·      Food: I enjoy crockpot cooking year round but especially in the fall. Love to start a

      crockpot meal on Saturday morning and let it simmer all day. The simmering fills the

      house with  yumminess.  And of course apple desserts of all types. These sound like great recipes to try ~  easy and quick to throw together. 

·       Clothes: how cute are these clothes… blanket scarves are so fun!  I have a little bit of a claustrophobic issue, but the blanket scarf can be used as a wrap without the bulk of a real jacket.
