Scarves, Gloves & Beanies - Day 7

bundle up.

Today, San Jose, California is forecasting freezing weather! How did we go from 70 degrees weather last week to freezing this week? With last night's rain comes this morning's frost and I cannot express this enough.. I love it! Particularly because there is now purpose for my last month's closet rearrangement-- moving my winter clothes front and center and summer attire to the back. But today is extra special because I get to unpack my accessories box to match-- scarves, hats, beanies, gloves, etc. I'm too excited to layer up this season; there are no words.
