I’m definitely a charcoal girl – I’m super pale and so light colors tend to wash me out, and I have way more clothes that go with grey than brown.

FREEZING just came to Minnesota after a winter of mild. Can’t think of a better way to combat the I’m-out-of-my-mind-this-is-so-freaking-cold blues.
Charcoal LOVE!!
Marble, but I’d wrap myself up in any of those colors
I’m happy to see a fellow Illinois’n as happy as me
Your cowls are beautiful (and I’m thinking oatmeal!)
I love the color of oatmeal as grain in the field, milled into flour, caked into soap, or woven into yarn.
Especially in winter, when the sky and land are white, waiting for the return of green, oatmeal is the color I want to wrap myself in, quieted, patient, content.
I like oatmeal!
Barley<3 Thanks so much! That's really generous of you!
Meee!! I’m COWLING AT THE MOON for one.
Charcoal!
Beautiful! Love it! Would love the charcoal, although the oatmeal looks so cozy . . . Nope, charcoal it is!

I’m having a hard time deciding between Oatmeal and Barley, but I think Barley is super versatile and would go with everything in my closet.
I’ve been wearing a lot of scaves this winter, but they lack warmth… these look like they’d be a great solution!
Marble – it matches my hair!
It is so hard to decide. I think oatmeal would be my choice!
I am so glad you added charcoal – it is so classy. They all are but I love the charcoal. : )
