Back to School Shopping

It's toward the end of August and I am on the hunt for some new jeans.  I was thinking about this and realized that every year, about this time, I get obsessed with finding jeans that fit.  Granted, I am going back to school, and jeans are the standard school uniform for a college student (I will not resort to sweat pants.  I draw the line there.) And, for years I worked in a business casual office that allowed us to wear jeans to work, but why is it that this time of year always makes me want to shop? 

Here's my theory...it's August in the Florida Panhandle, and we have endured several months of 90+ degree weather.  (we still have a couple of months to go...)  The end of August/beginning of September is the start of school season, and when school starts, it's supposed to be fall, right?  Well, living here for as long as I have, I know that temperatures don't cool off until October, and we are often in shorts after that, but I guess anticipation gets the best of me! And, Florida is not the only place this happens.  All the time I lived in Atlanta, I would go clothes shopping this time of year too!

So, I am off to the area malls, in search of good jeans.  Today, I drive to Ft. Walton to see what I can come up with.  Oh, and if I pass by a YARN SHOP, all the better!

On the knitting front, I am working on a vest that I may or may not publish.  It is my interpretation of something I saw in a catalog, so I am still on the fence about publishing.  I will, however, post FO pictures when I get it done.

Happy Knitting!
