October Faves Plus Where’s Waldo: Striped Sweatshirt, Plaid Blanket Scarf And Converse

     How is it November already? Was there some sort of rip in the time/space continuum that caused us to skip from May to November? If there was, shouldn’t that have been on CNN or something? At least then I wouldn’t be so confused and maybe would have seen it coming. Not only did I not see November creepin’ up on me like some sort of unwanted stalker, but I swear to you that on Friday it was still Fall, but when I got up Saturday morning it was Winter. Straight up freezing I tell ya. While I was loading groceries into my car I sprouted icicles on my fingers. Okay, maybe it wasn’t quite that cold, but I did feel kind of bitch slapped by Winter.
     I love this sweatshirt, it’s actually one of my favorites. But every time I wear it I feel like Waldo. I’m not sure why. I have other striped tops, but only this one makes me feel like people are looking for me. I decided to kill two birds with one stone. Layering and mixed prints all in one sweet little outfit. I thought the plaid and stripes played well together so I went for it. Speaking of the plaid, I almost didn’t get the scarf because it’s so uber-trendy and everywhere at the moment. The problem is, I have wanted one for a reeaallly long time. So I decided this was one of those instances where I shouldn’t not get something simply because it was trendy. It’s sort of the opposite of wearing things because I love them even when they aren’t “in”.

Here’s a little round-up of my favorite looks from the month of October.

Where’s Waldo

     Yes, that’s what this top reminds me of, but I like it so I wear it anyway.  Besides, it’s mildly amusing to me to imagine popping up in the background of random people’s photos.  Waldo was a man ahead of his time.  He’s like the ultimate photo bomber.
     Yesterday’s outfit was just a hair too color coordinated for my liking so today I thought I’d go in the completely opposite direction.  I threw together two bold prints just so no one would be confused and think I was getting too complacent.  Bad for the image.
     I also decided to rebel against January.  Although I am wearing tall boots, if you look closely you’ll note the bare legs.  It was 40 degrees today and I’ve been layering on the Jergens Natural Glow, so why not? Why sunless tanner in January you might be thinking?  That would be because I could no longer stand my corpse-like skin tone.  I was starting to resemble an extra from The Walking Dead.
