I'm sitting in my office today and the guy who sits in one of the cubes today is talking on his phone. Out of nowhere, he says, "I was stung by a jellyfish." The person on the other end of the phone, much like what I was thinking, must have said, "what?" The he says very loudly, "I was stung by a Portuguese man of war!" I keep waiting for him to laugh, but apparently this is not a joke. He says much more quietly, "On my arm, it hurts a lot." Now I just feel bad.
Happy Monday!

This is what I want to wrap around me
SCARF MATRIX
I am a huge proponent of scarves. Both as a way to keep warm and to add additional color or texture to a bland outfit. It's one of the few reasons I sometimes look forward to fall. However, all scarves are not created equal. I believe that scarves should be judged on the following properties:
Long washed-silk scarf $68.00 available at J. Crew
Dip-dye fringe scarf $19.50 available at Gap

- Texture (there is nothing worse that have something itchy wrapped around your neck)
- Color (does it work with other things?)
- Price (the lower, the better)
- Size (if you can't wrap it around your neck a few times I don't think it's worth the effort)
- Weight (I once had a beautiful wool scarf from Banana Republic that won in the other categories, but was simply too heavy. It was only wearble on days when the temperature was below 0. I learned my lesson, if it's too heavy for normal wear I pass on it.)
