Since I couldn’t stop talking about the Renegade Fair, Kat and I decided to feature a few of our favorites – little did she know I was trying to get home as fast as I could so I can checkout the pictures and share them with you!

Today’s favorite is something that is so cool that I’d wear it everyday if it weren’t for triple digit weather where I live. As my friends very well know, I’ve tried valiantly – and in vain – to grow chops, a mustache, a beard.. anything! I first saw Erin’s yarn beards on Etsy and immediately fell in love. When we found out she was attending RCF, I already knew that a beard was going to be one of my first purchases (as soon as I could sneak away from the booth).

Lo and behold, it fits like a glove, and I literally had to stop counting the number of people who did double takes of the magnificent forest under my nose that was my beard. The best part was seeing even the most stoic faces break into a smile when they realize how amazingly dashing and manly a little man can be.

Thank you, Imadeyouabeard.etsy.com, you have made me several steps closer to awesome!!
