instant vintage : 10.2009 : Fall Wardrobe Update (Uncategorized)
I know Southern California is known to be the land of endless summer, but contrary to popular belief and Tony! Toni! Tone! songs, it actually does rain. And it’s horrible. Absolutely horrible.
Ok, it’s not that bad. Given our recent hellish fire season courtesy of this asshole and drought, it’s actually a welcome change to the weather. I don’t normally go for anything under 73 degrees, but the grey skies and intermittent downpours are quite nice. Thankfully, I was prepared for this.
Although I love the all-purpose and ubiquitous tights in cooler weather, I was overcome with the urge to get over-the-knee socks a couple of weeks ago. I went to my standby-for-this-sort-of-thing and found these. Super thick, super long, and super slouchy; absolutely perfect for below the waist warmth purposes.
Up top, I was going to need something more than my newsboy cap. Yesterday, I went by my favorite yarn shop, got a skein of worsted mohair in a mottled black, and got to work. After watching Hell’s Kitchen, reruns, and Conan O’Brien (Eddie Izzard was on last night – SCORE!!) I had this:
Yeah, it’s pretty safe to say that I’ll be living in this as long as it’s raining outside. =D
YAY for cheap closet updates!!

Are you going to sell any beanies like that? It’s already in the 30s at night here in Iowa and it will eventually get down to below 30. I need head coverage. Help!!
