It’s still technically winter here in Oregon, which means layers and scarves…but I thought to wear a recent thrift store find in a way I normally wouldn’t wear a scarf.  It’s like another layer: a cute topper for an outfit…but it technically isn’t a top.  I love me those contradictions!

Just call me Baby G.

I paired the ombre scarf over a lightweight cargo vest I haven’t had the opportunity to wear in awhile, over a summerweight maxidress and long-sleeved tee.  The whole ensemble was surprisingly warm and made me want to take off a layer or three while stuck in the computer classroom with 30 other people + 50 iMacs.

Then I got a little crazy with Photoshop.  Man, my bonsai needs trimming!  (Which is certainly NOT a euphemism in any way.)

Bwahahaha!  I do love me my Photoshop, too.

I hope everyone’s having a great week!

I have a 3 ft-square hole in my kitchen floor going all the way down to the basement/crawlspace where a pipe burst last week, and my in-laws from Japan arrive tomorrow.  Check that: I hope everyone’s having a better week than me!

Try a scarf as a topper anytime you want to break up the routine!;-)
