winter accessories

hats, scarves, and gloves come and go. you take them off when you go places & they are easy to lose.

on the t the other day i saw this little boy leave his hat behind, but the doors closed before i figured out what had happened.

i found a scarf in my room a few weeks ago that i wore for like a day until i lost it at a party at harvard. recently the kid who left it in my room came by and was like did you find a scarf? and i was like uhhh yes but i lost it.

however, while i've been at home, i realized i have no idea where ANY of my winter accessories are. i had assumed they were in a box here somewhere, but upon a pretty extensive search, no sign of this mythical box!

i went through old pictures tagged of me on facebook and realized the extent of my loss. there are at least SIX scarves i used to own that i have no idea where they are now. the two on the right in the picture i knit myself. :(

i also noticed two hats that are missing: a teal one and a white one. [i could link to pictures but i have red eye in both ew.]

and at least one pair of gloves, but probably more.

where are they!!

so far i have two theories:

i seem to remember leaving some stuff in my suite closet at the end of freshman year. maybe that included a box of wintry things? if so, i guess they are gone forever.

OR i could have packed up a box and left it in storage at my dorm at the beginning of this summer without remembering. i could try looking there when i go back to school.

i guess maybe they could also be in some secret location at my house. but i really did try to look everywhere.

anyway i've already acquired two new hats this season, so i guess i will be okay. i really need a pair of gloves though.
