These jeans are larger than I typically wear, because I accidentally ordered the wrong size, but had already washed them when I discovered that.

Now that I’ve seen the video and these photographs, I’m not sure they’re very flattering. Argh!

What I do love, however, is this blanket scarf. I’ve been seeing them everywhere this fall/winter season.

I love the size of this particular style, because if offers so many styling options. In this post and video, I show you two. ~Janis Lyn johnson
