List #7--Sherlie Moriarty's Top 10 Fave Fashion Finds for Fall

I've decided that my readers needed to know a bit about me, so I've decided to tell you all about my fashion sense.  And, since at least for me, fall/autumn/that time before winter is coming up, I figured I'd focus on that.  I also think that I could write a magazine for teenagers someday.  Whether the latter is true, I don't know, but I might as well try.  (I would've added links, but I can't find any good pictures.  You can probably look these up and get a general idea.)

1.  Cuddly scarves.  I love scarves during fall and winter!  They tie together any outfit quite well.  (Get it?  TIE together?  Yes, I make too many puns.)  Infinity scarves, short scarves, wool scarves, scarves that look like snakes...anything goes.

2.  Black sweater dress.  I only have one, but that's enough.  Basically, my whole outfit is a cuddly sweater.  But it's, like, elegant, and better suited for networking at parties than cuddling on the sofa while eating Nutella.

3.  Long mysterious coat.  I bet all of you have pictured me wearing this already.  It goes especially well with a cuddly scarf, over a black sweater dress.

4.  Colorful sneakers.  As much as I like black, sapphire blue, emerald, and deep red, I like some color, too.  Sneakers that are white or black with a bit of coral, blue, magenta, pink, and the like are perfect.

5.  A crown.  Okay, I don't get many chances to wear this, unless you count the flower crown I made from some fake flowers and a pipe cleaner when I was 7 that still fits.  I do have an inexpensive necklace with a crown and some music notes on it though that is a perfect, less formal substitute.

6.  Cuff bracelets.  Especially metal ones, with designs that look kind of like Norse/Celtic mythological fantasy armor.  And that's a look you can get fairly inexpensively, without actually raiding a dragon's lair.

7.  Long-sleeved layering sweaters.  Basically thin sweatshirts, I've found these at outdoorsy, sporty, retailers, and they are great.  Even though I'm not particularly outdoorsy or sporty.  Good for in the fall where I live, when it's extremely cold in the morning but rises to about 80 degrees in the afternoon, a mystery I haven't even tried to solve.

8.  Long socks.  I love fun-patterned socks, or even just fun-colored socks.  I have penguins, argyle, apples, polka dots, and more.  Oh, and I can always roll them down if necessary.

9.   Deep blue anything.  Deep, sapphire blue is my favorite color, mostly because it's a color of intelligence.  (See my post on colors for more info on that.)  This shade of blue goes well with black, white, silver, gray, gold, and bronze.  I personally wouldn't recommend pairing it with yellow or bright green, but that's just me.

10.  Pendant necklaces.  I know, this sounds rather generic.  But I just like pendant necklaces.  You can get all sorts of pendant shapes, such as dragons, elephants, frogs, fish, and abstract shapes.  Not to mention circular or rectangular pendants with quotes and/or pictures on them, like I mentioned in #5.

So, I'm officially a fashion blogger now.  Maybe somebody from some company will find this and ask me to do reviews for them of face cream and stuff.  I don't care about face cream but I could use the free products, especially if I graduate up to clothing and electronics.  And if that does happen, don't worry, I'll be honest about my satisfaction levels.  I don't want to be like that Magic Eraser person.  I mean, I'm sure they really do like their Magic Eraser, but hiding their blog behind an infographic seems a little like false advertising to me.

Signing off,
SM
