LIGHT ON THE SCARF, WHAT'S UP WEDNESDAY AND LINK-UP

Hi all. It's another TWO-FER post for Mel, Sheaffer and Shay's What's UP Wednesday on the last Wednesday of every month. I always love reading these so joining in on the fun. 

The theme for this week's October Series Link-Ups is scarves. While I like the blanket scarves, there is just no way this hot blooded mama can wear that flame inducing big piece of material around my neck for long. I prefer a lighter weight scarf for fashion and cooling purposes.

Just LOVE the Fall-ish colors!
