I know this should probably be a post about Halloween. Β I mean, today is Halloween. Β However, I have a more pressing matter at hand. Β A lost glove.
It has been so chilly Β and crisp in the mornings. Β Chilly enough for me to remember to wear a coat…but not to grab my gloves. Β Having had cold fingers a little too often this week, I was determined not to forget them again. Β After an hour searching and pulling out just about the entire coat closet, Β I only found my super heavy pair of mittens. Β I knew I had a lighter weight pair that would be perfect for the current weather but had no idea where they ended up. Β So I took a deep breath and tried again. Β This time I turned up one glove, but not it’s buddy. Β Sigh… I really liked that pair. Β So, I will try one more time to find the lost glove, and if no luck, than I will have to pick up another pair.
Now, on the few occasions when I do pick up gloves or any winter accessories, I really try to make sure everything matches. Β Once the really cold weather hits, it doesn’t matter what one wears underneath…all you see is the outerwear, especially when you are running errands. Β So I want to make sure my winter gear looks polished and put together.
Take a look at these pattern collections from the 1930’s. Β I mean, this is what coordinated and polished looks like!
Finding these many pieces today that all blend and go together is nearly impossible…at least at the same store. Β However, I did find these stunning gloves that come in both oxblood and black. Β I feel like the addition of the three little buttons really takes these gloves to the next level! Β A perfect replacement to my potentially lost gloves.

Of course, whatΒ about something for a more casual winter look? Β I don’tΒ really haveΒ anything, and, well, just take a look at thisΒ crocheted collar!Β It looks so warm and cozy, yet adds such personality to any outfit. Β I could even wear it without a coat and just a nice long sleeved tee underneath. Β Hmmmmmm…. π
