"i knew that to keep in touch would do me deep in dutch"

It is officially cold at Kent State University.  The picture you see is only half of the layers I actually wore outside.  On top of the chilly temp., it was raining.  Perfect recipe to contract the flu or something worse (oink).  Although it was rather nasty outside, I am very happy to see the temperature dropping.  I love weather 50 and below.  Most people enjoy the hot, summer sun, but I am the opposite.  I enjoy wearing lots of layers and still looking stylish.  I avoid the Human Marshmallow wardrobe at all costs!

What I'm wearing:

-Black Dance Tights:  they are thicker than "panty hose" to allow more comfort in the cold and they don't snag as easily

-Vertan Italia Boots:  my all-time favorite piece in the fall/winter; most comfortable boots ever and I have worn them for 3 years now; they hold up well-----however, I am finally getting a new pair of black boots (over-the-knee!)

-Basic LBD:  I got this one from Forever 21; simple, easy, comfy, inexpensive

-Electric Blue Shrug:  This is from Express, although I purchased it at a discount store for $3.99.  It is a great piece to spice up my dark fall look

-Huge Purple Scarf:  Yay, birthday presents!  Urban Outfitters--super warm, worth the price

-Hat:  Yes, I tucked all of my hair into it; Mainly because my hair wasn't cooperating and to protect it from the rain;  Target has wonderful hats.

-As for the accessories (belt & necklace).....I have had these for a long time and I am taking a wild guess at which stores I bought them from;  Necklace:  New York & Co.        Belt:  Metroplace
