Sweater time!
So, I dug out a light weight sweater this morning. It was really early, because I had to take H to the airport, and I was really not paying attention. I threw on clothes, got ready, and rushed out the door.
The sweater is wool. Wool makes me itch. Apparently I forgot that I normally wear a very thin undershirt under the sweater.
I had to go to the mall across the street at lunch and buy a new shirt so that I wouldn't just be one big hive by the end of the day.
Anybody else have any "gotcha's" when switching the seasonal wardrobe around?

Re: Sweater time!
My GOTCHA was pulling out all my summer clothes one summer to find out nothing fit me anymore. It was depressing. THANKFULLY, I had a baby as an excuse, but it still totally sucked. (no worries though, I'm back in them now)
I iron my clothes at night. Last night they said that it was going to be 76 and sunny today. Yipee! I pulled out my anniversary gift from FH. A very cute sundress that I hadn't had a chance to wear yet. Well, it was cold as eva this morning and so I changed my outfit to a shirt and capris. I totally forgot that the mornings are not warm anymore. Guess I'll save the dress for next year.
My biggest thing is when I wear a jacket or coat again for the first time that year/ season, I'll find something in the pocket that I spent ridiculous amounts of time searching for the previous year/ season. Last night I found a tube of Carmex in a hoodie (that I actually wear about every other week because my H has a hair sweater and keeps it freezing in the house) that I remember searching for and being dumfounded as to where it had gone (I'd usually keep it on my nightstand).
But then I went home and put my pajamas back on, so it was all good.

"Hair sweater" made me laugh. And I can totally relate to this. I'm always cold.
(actually sweaters too but I wanted to give Phil a shout out)
Now with more wedded bliss.
I don't get married often, but when I do, I do it in Las Vegas.

Not sweater gotcha, but it's a good one.
My GF was dating this guy and her and I would hang out at his place. Sometimes we'd have drinks and spend the night. Well he had a roommate. He and I hooked up a little bit. And when we were done, I said I'd go back to the couch and watch TV.... we wouldn't speak a word of it. Put my shirt and my sweater back on.
GF and I go for breakfast and she goes, "did you and B hook up last night?" I was like "god no. i passed out watching a movie."
Took my sweater off and my t-shirt underneath was inside out.
Busted.

[QUOTE]Usually the first time I wear sweaters after a while I forgot how to care for them and toss them in the dryer. Then they shrink and I can never wear them again. I'm tall and have a long torso and long arms, so finding clothes that fit are a nightmare to begin with, then I go making them smaller.

UGH this happens to me too! OR - they trick you into thinking they'll be ok to put in the dryer because over time they slowly lose their shape and get a little longer and looser - but then you put them in the dryer and they fit your dog. I totally hate that!
