[greeneyedgirl107]

Last year I started this late, so I figured that this year I'd start early!  Feel free to post about all things fall, Halloween, beauty and everything in between.  Answer as many or as few prompts as you'd like, and know that you're encouraged to add your own ideas as well!

October 11: Favorite kind of sweater?  Or, is there a fashion you want to try out this year? I'm with all the cardigan lovers! I did buy some blazers and sweater vests, thinking I'd need interview gear, but then I got offered a WFH job without interviewing (NOT COMPLAINING! LOL) and haven't worn them once. But the cardigans (or "sexy cardies," for you Notting Hill movie fans) get put on most days. You know, when I change out of my bathrobe. 😂

I am always a cardigan girl. I have a million- long ones, short ones, thin ones, thick ones, with pockets, without pockets, with buttons, without buttons... Currently I'm rocking my new spiderweb cardy, perfect for the season.

Poltergeist is such a good one, @lmaster. I might need to throw that one on today!
