Kitties and Pandas and Frogs, Oh my!

Winter has returned to New York, and that means my beanies are out in full force! Beanie time really is the best time of year.

This week, we’re reverting back to our childhood a bit. Ah, being a kid. Remember when it was totally acceptable to wear ludicrous things and people wouldn’t look at you like you need to go get professional help? One of my favorite things to see is kids running around the park in outfits they obviously picked out themselves, like pink tutus with red rain boots and striped tights and a top with unicorns on it. You know that the kid is going to either grow up to thank her parents for allowing her to foster her creativity, or will be absolutely appalled when her mom pulls out those pictures the first time her boyfriend comes over for dinner.

Anyway.

Childhood is what I had in mind when I picked out this week’s beanies. They’re from Elm, and they’re totally adorable. They were definitely designed for the girl who wore striped tights with tutus, or just for someone who really really likes frogs. Or cats. Or pandas! These beanies are whimsical and give off that air of “I don’t really care what you think about me if you don’t get my silly sense of humor.” But really, how could anyone do anything BUT smile when they see these? They’re awesome!

Hopefully you’ll be able to find these in your local store, because so far, I haven’t been able to find them online. Good luck with all your beanie adventures!

Much love!
