Sweaterday


Sweater day

First, I just realized that Anne's Friday post was our 200th post! Thanks to everyone who stops by our humble home on the StyleNation blogosphere. We really appreciate the community that has developed over your blogs and our blog. Yeay!

Yesterday, inspired by Style Underdog, I packed away my summer stuff and took out my winter stuff. I have a lot of clothes. I was supposed to pick out stuff to donate, but instead, I stuffed it back into our little closet. I can figure that out later, right? Also, I decided that this clothing chore made yesterday a very productive day, even if my writing goals may not have been met. A girl has got to dress, right?
I maybe jumped the gun on wearing the fuzzy cold weather gear. I was a bit warm on the crowded subway today in my "light" wool. But as I round out month number 3 (?) of GAAD (I started the 3 week of July), I am happy to have "new" clothes to play with.
Hmm... upon photographic inspection, I do believe this would have benefited from a belt. Mental note for next time. Also, my experiment of showering in the evening to save me 20 minutes (I get cold in the fall, preheat, and have to shiver in my robe for 10 minutes) in the morning seems to have had undesired effects of creating a more "windblown" look than usual. Perhaps I should consider some sort of hair product.

Cynthia once asked about my huge suitcases full of seasonal clothes. Here they are. In my defense, I also have special occasion clothes in here that don't deserve to take up closet space (my shalwar kameez, or my cat halloween outfit, for example).

And here's my hurricane of seasonal clothes changing. (I may have held onto a few of these items that I can wear with layers for the next month or so.)
Hope you had a productive and fun weekend. Happy Monday, StyleNation!
