Sweater Weather Tag!

Hey everyone! 

Today’s post is inspired by the ‘Sweater Weather Tag’ that has been going around YouTube for the past few weeks.  But, I am doing MissGlamorazzi’s modified version of the tag, so some of the questions may be a tad different from previous versions that you have seen.  This is such a fun tag, and definitely gets you into the fall/cold weather spirit just thinking about the answers to these questions!

1. Favorite candle scent?

            I am absolutely in love with the candle that I am currently burning, Bath and Body Work’s “Farmstand Apple.” It literally smells like fresh apples in your house.  So refreshing!  But I’ve also really gotten into the classic “Leaves” scent this year – I used to loathe that scent for some reason.

2. Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate?

            I love all of them.  Since we recently got a Keurig at my house, a cup of coffee is a must for me in the morning.  Hot chocolate is a nice treat on cold days, and I’ll drink tea often to warm me up when I’m cold, or at night before I go to bed (decaf), or even in the afternoons when I need a little caffeine pick-me-up.

3. What's the best fall memory you have?

            If you’ve seen Ingrid’s video, I can never top her answer.  Her answer was so touching it made me (and probably most people) cry.

            However, one of the strongest memories that I have are the memories of my birthday parties at my old house when we lived in Connecticut.  We would have a huge party in our backyard, and my Dad would do hayrides in a trailer with the lawnmower, and it was just the greatest fall birthday party before the weather got really cold (I have a September birthday). They were always super fun, and probably one of the reasons why I love the fall so much even now.

4. Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner? 

I love both makeup trends, I just wish I could pull them off.  It’s not that I don’t think the look would be bad on me, it’s just the application part is a bit difficult for me to get right.  So I can’t say I can even try it out.  If I had to choose one, I would go with the winged eyes, I think that look is a bit more ‘classic.’

5. Best fragrance for fall?

I wear this all year long, but I’m in love with Bath and Body Works’ body scent in Moonlight Path.  It is by far my favorite scent from them.

6. Favorite Thanksgiving food?

I love everything about that holiday meal.  I admit, I’m a bit of a pig when it comes to the holidays and eating.  But if I could only have one thing this year on my plate, I would probably say just some turkey.  After all, how many times a year do you actually have a nice turkey cooked like that?

7. What is autumn weather like where you live?

In my opinion, the weather is the stereotypical ‘fall’ weather.  We have the leaves changing colors, the windy days… all of that.  I’m not complaining about it, I definitely like it, I just think I experience the kind of fall weather that people typically imagine when they think of the season.

8. Most worn sweater?

My most worn sweater is the sweater that I showed in my Fall/Winter Clothing Picks Video- it is gray with a yellow heart in the center, and has a similar look to it as a WildFox jumper would.

9. Must-have nail polish this fall?

I did an entire blog post on this, but I definitely like gray nail polishes in the fall, and of course, navy blue.  For some reason, navy blue nail polish is a must-have for me in the cold months.

10. Football games or jumping in leaf piles?

I honestly don’t even understand the game of Football.  I know certain Football terminology, and I did go to several Football games while in college, but I just don’t understand the game.  I try, and I wish I understood.  I love the atmosphere and the excitement that surrounds it.  There’s something about it that’s so… interesting and appealing to me.

As for jumping in leaf piles, I don’t even know that I’ve ever properly done that.  But, that may be because it doesn’t hold any appeal to me now, so it may have never interested me.

So if I had to choose between the two…. I would say Football Games.

11. Skinny jeans or leggings?

Both, though I am more confident in skinny jeans.  Leggings right now are my ‘when I lose more weight and gain more confidence’ clothing item.

12. Combat boots or Uggs?

Neither.  I’m more into the cowboy or dressy style boots.

13. Is pumpkin spice worth the hype?

YES!!!  I absolutely love this drink!  But, if you don’t like sweet things, don’t get it, it is very sweet.

14. Favorite fall TV show?

This year, I’ve been really liking The Big Bang Theory and The Vampire Diaries.  I also started The Crazy Ones, which has been pretty good, and I am a little late to this, but I want to start The Originals.

15. What song really gets you into the fall spirit?

I’m going to have to agree with Ingrid on this one and say “Chocolate” by The 1975!  I started listening to them after her recommendation, and they are incredible! 

So that is the end of this tag!  I hope you all enjoyed reading my answers to these questions!
