If you are a Midwesterner then you know that winters can be akin to a hit with an ugly stick, and autumn isn’t much better. Everywhere you look you see UGGS (which might I add, were originally designed to be worn in hot sand,) everyone's heads are in a permanent state of matted-down hat hair, and we sometimes give off a paler glare than the snow.

Thus the transition from fall to winter-wear begins. What better time to adorn yourself with whimsical, unique and cozy accessories? Lately, I have been digging the knitted and crocheted necklaces that have been popping-up everywhere. I have spotted options on Etsy, on the cover of LOVE magazine, during MN Fall Fashion week and more.

So, in-between finding the perfect self-tanner for your winter glow, and adding a new hat to your growing collection, be sure to check out some of these accessories options. They should have you knitting or crocheting your way into a more attractive season.
