A Belted Blanket Scarf (and a Corn Maze)

 

 

Last weekend, also Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, our family hit the road to for our annual trip to the corn maze.  This has become a fall tradition for our little, not so little anymore, family.  It's a time to unwind and enjoy the fresh air, the open farm land, the outdoors, and the child within all of us.  It's so much more then just a corn maze, they have a petting zoo, a wall climb, a bouncy trampoline type of thing, a hay ride, you name it, they've thought of it.

 

Last year was the first time we successfully completed both corn mazes and we found all four of the hidden stamps.  This year we had a heck of a time but the girls were relentless and we spent a good hour and forty-five minutes in the two mazes searching for the stamps.  I was vetoed by my lovely husband and kids numerous times when I tried to persuade them to quit.  They were having none of it!!!!  


 
 
 
 
Success!  We found all four punches. 
 

 

Onto the outfit!

 







 

I layered up for the day as it's been quite chilly, and windy, around these parts.  Plaid shirt, gray cardigan, and then my blanket scarf!  I decided to switch  it up and use it as a poncho/cape rather than the traditional blanket scarf around the neck.  I belted it, belts are so in this fall,  and I love how it turned out, not to mention how warm it kept me.  Bonus!!!  

 

I'd love to hear what other ways you've styled your blanket scarves down in the comments.

    1. The blanket scarf is just a staple for fall/winter, isn't it. Hope you ladies are enjoying the fall festivities as well.

    1. Thanks Lana. It's fun to do all of these "kid" deemed activities and outings. We really enjoy being out in nature and outdoors as much as possible. Everyone always seems to get along better. Haha.
