It Just So Happens To Be Cold Again

I am not going to spend a bunch of time explain why it took me until the middle of October to write my "School has started again" post. In a nutshell this has been the kind of autumn you spend all summer preparing for and then all of the sudden you are failing midterms and wondering where it all got off track.

Some Feist lyrics for your consideration:

We're so helpless
We're slaves to our impulses
We're afraid of our emotions
And no one knows where the shore is
We're divided by the ocean
And the only thing I know is
The answer isn't for us


The answers I don't know could build us all a life boat to get out of this mess. But I do know that it is (at last, at least) getting cold again. There is really no fun in school when you don't have the cliché biting wind and stunning trees to fall back on. Well, school really is no fun on a general whole but in following with all the previous platitudes you get out what you put in. I digress.

My favorite fall fashions this year ?

Opaque Tights : Warm cosy and solely responsible for adding a level of modesty to the fall wardrobes of all the Prostifrosh running around campus (I am looking at you Wolfe House)

Organic Cotton Scarfs : Whoever said Fair trade wasn't sexy was sadly mistaken. See also Bamboo Clothing. (Don't drink the coffee though, it is still gross) And for the boys... the Man-Scarf especially really crafty looking heavy knit ones will be key for winter, but until then stick to the Dress-Shoes-And-Jeans thing.
