The coming and going of Thanksgiving can only mean one very sad, unfortunate, inevitable truth for us hockey-loving, overly polite Northern folk. Cold weather is coming. We are mere days away from boots, scarves, mittens, and sweaters so thick you can hardly get your parka over it. And of course, a personal favourite of mine, hats. I get particularly pissy if my ears and/or head get cold and I'm pretty prone to brutal headaches from the cold. Naturally, I have quite the collection of hats.
This is one I would gladly add to that ever expanding section in my wardrobe of cold weather fuzzy warm comfy things. Slouchy beanies are probably my favourite style and of course, even better if its got that bit of geekiness to it. The slouchy beanie is perfect for casual cool looks. It's on trend and easily pulls a look together with minimal effort. Consider me obsessed.
Unfortunately, this beanie from Hottopic, only comes in Gryffindor colours (sorry to those of you who got sorted in Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw). Despite that, its still adorable, and totally wearable for those chilly days. A cute Hogwarts inspired hat can make even the gloomiest days a bit brighter. After all, happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
