Orphan Layers

Today's challenge at Putting Me Together was to wear something you haven't worn in six months or more.  So I took the opportunity to wear three things I haven't worn in six months or more:




The maxi dress was last worn this past summer.  I layered it under a long-line wool cardigan last worn sometime last winter.  And I added a scarf last worn sometime the winter before.


So many orphans.  So many layers:


Dress: LOFT (similar)  Cardigan: thrifted  Scarf: Nordstrom (similar)
Hat: Nordstrom  Gloves: Target (similar)


And so very cold.  Which is why I also added tights, OTK socks, a turtleneck, a stocking cap and long gloves.


Happy Thursday, All!

Football Attire and a FRAAS Review



As I mentioned before, I went to a Portland State football game this Saturday, which meant I had to wear proper football attire.  I decided on jeans and a sweatshirt:



Okay, so it was a lace sweatshirt, but I still say it counts.  In addition to my skinny jeans (Macys) and lace sweatshirt (Macys), I also wore riding boots (Born Crown via Nordstrom) and a leopard coat (consigned).  And, once I got to the game, where it was quite cold, I also wore my new Tech Gloves (c/o FRAAS):


I have to say that I was both excited and skeptical when FRAAS offered to send me these gloves.  Excited because I hate having to take of my gloves to use my phone and skeptical because I don’t know how knit gloves could possibly allow me to still use my phone.  I was also skeptical because these gloves are one-size-fits-all and I have giant hands (of course).

But, I did wear these on Saturday at the game, and they were fabulous.  They kept my hands warm, I was able to use my phone easily while wearing them, and as you can see above, they fit my man hands just fine.  And the teal goes with leopard.  A win all around.  Well, not all around, PSU lost to Eastern Washington, 34 to 41.  

Although I received the teal pair, the gloves come in several colors, from neutrals to jewel tones to brights:


The style I received has a wrist ruffle (or wruffle, as I like to call it), shown above, but the tech gloves are also offered in a longer, scrunch style and a bow style.  They run about $30.00 per pair, and are available both at fraas.com and amazon.com.  If you have a smart phone and are looking for a pair of tech gloves, I strongly recommend these.

Happy Monday, All!
