A Cozy Surprise!

I was ecstatic when I opened my mailbox yesterday to find a package from Kristi at The Speckled Dog.  She had told me she was sending me a surprise, and I was thrilled when I opened it to find one of her hand-kit cowls in blue, with a note that said she knew the blue was my favorite!  I entered her own giveaway for one a while back, and had said I loved the blue… It is AWESOME!!!!  So warm and cozy, and i can keep it on without worrying i will accidentally pee on my scarf tails if I have to go potty while I am out… oh come on!  I know you have all had that same fear!  I wore it to the bus stop this morning as it was a whopping 20 degrees outside, and kept it on all day as I went out to IKEA (yes, again!) and Target with Emmy.  Chris is traveling today, so here are a couple of self portraits… one shot in my new mirror, and the other, hands out in front type.  Hopefully even though these pics aren’t the greatest you will see how wonderful the cowl is!  I LOVE IT!!!!!!!  Thank you soooo much, Kristi!!!!!

    I have the same paranoia, Cassie! I’m always so much warmer with something around my neck and once I have a scarf on, it usually stays on for the day, regardless of what I’m doing. Enjoy your cowl–it’s gorgeous, as is your sweater!

    That sweater is awesome! I have one similar in gray, but yours is so much more festive! The cowl is adorable, too.

    I love your cowl! How sweet of Kristi and blue is your color! You look adorable in those photos with your fun hat and sweater. I adore that ruffled sweater? Was that a Christmas gift?

    Super cute sweater! You wear it well!

    Nice that you were able to get out. My husband is traveling this week, too. I feel an urge to run to Target now, haha!

    That is pretty cute!

    I’ve actually zipped my scarf into my pants before, so I know it’s not a stretch to think I could pee on it!
