The Wordsmith's Forge

A few years ago, during a cold snap, my nearest grocery store had a big cardboard bin (like they use for watermelons and pumpkins) full of winter gloves and hats right inside the front door. I found a hat that matched my fuzzy jacket, light lavender like the jacket but knitted with silver glitter yarn here and there. And I also got gloves that matched. Those are all stuffed into the pocket of my fuzzy jacket, but they'll also go with the new winter coat I got. I don't like wearing gloves either, but I lose dexterity when my fingers get cold. Maybe you can get a pair that has conductive fibers knitted into the fingertips, so you can use your phone's touch screen with your gloves on.

I have a tendency to wear inappropriately sparkly accessories in public - especially sparkly socks. Yes, part of me is six years old and has an overdeveloped sensawunda.
