This outfit feels much more fall-ish than wintery, but oh well. Lately it's been unusually cold in the south (as lots of you are aware!) and I've discovered that I have an issue with super-cold weather clothes. In theory they're wonderful; hats and scarves and gloves and big coats. But when it's actually twenty degrees out and I have to leave the house in the morning, I seem to panic and forget everything! It's not for lack of ownership either, I have lots of gloves and scarves. I just forget to wear them. I think I have the mindset of, "Oh it couldn't possibly be cold enough for gloves," even though it has definitely been cold enough for gloves. It must be that I don't want to look like a goon, all bundled up unnecessarily when it isn't really that cold outside (which I've done before).

Such missed opportunities! Chunky knitted accessories are my favorite thing about cold weather and I hardly remember to wear them.

Anyway. In this outfit I have one of those bundle-y scarves, which is better than nothing.
