Be Snoody

Thanks to global warming, I may never get to wear one of the greatest fashion inventions of all time: the snood.  It's basically just a tubular neckband that takes away all the torturousness of wrapping a scarf.  As you know, scarf wrapping is an art form; a terrible, torturous, neck burning and annoying art form.  One where you're wrapping and wrapping trying to make the perfect knot, or get the perfect puffiness, or the achieve the perfect amount of warmth.  Whatever it is that you're trying to do, it can and will result in a hot mess of tying and tucking--lots of tucking.  And if it started out cute, it's going to look flat like a dead fish by the end of the day; and then you're back to re-wrapping and tucking.  

Enter the snood: a tube that goes over your head and always has the perfect wrap.  There's no ends to tuck and no knots to deal with.  It's literally a giant neck sock.  You're welcome.

Not For Singles

There are certain clothes that I know are made to punish single people.  I know it, because there is no way a single person can put these clothes on alone.  It's impossible!  For example, this cute shirt looks like a regular shirt, however, it's IMPOSSIBLE to get on by yourself.  For one thing, there's an invisible zipper that starts zipping up from the middle of my back.  I mean, what kind of Cirque Du Soleil do I need to do to get my arm to reach to the middle of my back and then zip?!  As if that's not enough, just in case you happen to get through the zipper portion of this shirt alive, there's the teeniest tiniest worthless hook and eye closure at the top of the zipper!  How the heck am I supposed to fasten that?!  Oh, that's right I'm not supposed to do that.  I'm supposed to get someone who loves me to do that for me.  And if I don't have anyone who loves me, then I don't deserve to wear these clothes.  This shirt can be so judgmental sometimes.

My Moroccan Moomoo

I picked up this tunic recently and I absolutely love it.  In fact, I now absolutely love tunics.  They're loose and breezy, light and comfy.  They're really fun to wear, basically because they're moomoos! Yeah, that's right, tunics are just fancy moomoos.  I've already adopted wearing pajama pants outside, why not moomoos?  Hell, now I might as well get myself a stoop to sit on, rest my feet in some Dr. Scholl's, and wait until 5:00 pm when I can start cooking up my chicken fried steak all whilst wearing my Moroccan-inspired moomoo.  I've completely given up.  However, I must admit, it is nice to be able to take full breaths of air now that I don't need to suck in anymore; because you never need to do that when you're wearing a "tunic" (i.e a moomoo).

Seeing Green

November may be the month for making those Black Friday purchases, but January is definitely the month where you get to start wearing them.  I love seeing everyone's Black Friday buys because by definition, these are items that you would never have thought to buy, but for the fact that it was almost being given away.  The results can be boring a la buying ten grey Gap sweaters, or they can be totally daring; like this one girl I knew who got leggings that looked like a human exoskeleton from the bottom down.  (Good luck finding a top that matches that.)  

For me, it was this olive green suede jacket.  It's one of my favorite purchases because it sounds like it would look like vomit, but instead it's incredibly cute and unique.  The description definitely does not do it justice.  Tune in the next few weeks to check out my other daring Black Friday purchase: a snood.
