I tried to keep an open mind for year 2 of Indy’s mac ‘n’ cheese fest. Year 1 was sort of underwhelming, but the first year of anything is underwhelming. I mean, when I look back on 1985, I don’t think to myself, “damn, I really hit my stride as a newborn.” But I was underwhelmed again. There were long lines, still no organization, not a lot of vegetarian options, and leaky spots in the ceiling. They also tried to hand out forks via the “take one, pass it on” method. This time of year? No thanks, no flu fork for me.

Maybe I just don’t like food fests. I love eating, but not a lot at once, and I like to enjoy some ambiance, you know? And if you think I’m going to stand in a line to get a single bite of food like it’s 1930, you’re wrong. So instead, we’re going to start our own mac ‘n’ cheese fest: invitation only, at our house, with wine pairings. 😉

I don’t need to tell you it’s been a brutal winter. But here I am, telling you anyway. It’s been effing brutal, even by Indiana standards. I’m no longer the gutsy young blogger who braved freezing temps for an outfit shoot. Now I phone it in with living room iPhone pics. (Phone it in…see what I did there?) So here are a few outfits I’ve worn lately to stay cozy. They have a theme. I think you’ll figure out what it is…

Oh hey, look, it’s another scarf.

OK, yes, the theme is scarves.

I don’t just wear blanket scarves…I also wear furry mufflers. Scarves are pretty much the extent of my winter accessorizing, so I gotta switch it up once in a while.

But you don’t need a scarf when the scarf is built right in to your sweater. Turtlenecks for the win!
