I've said it before - as long as I need to wear a mask, I might as well be fashionable.  So, for summer, I had oodles of masks in flower and butterfly prints to match my t-shirts and capris.  With fall right around the corner, I've ordered some new masks in dark, fall colors to go with my jackets and sweaters.  Might as well have some fun with it.

Sounds like you may have seen/purchased a set or 2 from shophq for masks with flowers & butterflies. They have sets of 5 in really nice prints and colors for the seasons, passing and to come.

 

If you've not seen these there, you should definitely pop over to shophq and pick up a couple of new sets. I bought 2 sets of 5 in what they call 'roma' and 'paisley'. They are very colorful, prints are fun for sure instead of solids (which I also have in soft pastels). The set of paisley are great autumnal colors. And these sets have been marked down from the $25 I think I paid. Good deal then, better now. Get them before they're all gone, worth a gander.

Thanks for the ideas, @PINKdogWOOD.  So far, I've purchased from ebay for about $5 each with free shipping.

We aren't out that much and are wearing only disposable ones.

Re: Masks in Fall Colors

In NYC - masks are mandated. 

 

I've noticed in recent days - the most popular color mask here is black.  I wear so much black - I should probably consider getting a few.  (Off to Amazon to order.) *

------------------------------------

 

I have about a dozen that I crocheted (and lined!) in colors to match my clothes.  I have more than enough - I don't plan on making any more.

 

I bought a box of disposables from Walgreen's for quick trips in/out - and when I'm going to the dentst / ENT.  Figured I should wear an "official" mask there.

 

I just bought a set of four scarf/mask (lined) combos - in various animal prints. Also bought one chiffon typs - but a bit too thiin - I'll wear it as a scarf only.

 

If I buy anymore - it will be the scarf type - I can always use them as scarves in the future

 

---------------------

 

*I ordered three reusable black cotton w/filter pocket from Amazon ... here on Wednesday.  Going to try to make some of the scarf type with some of the scarves in my stash.

@San Antonio Gal 

 

Last time I was checking masks at Walmart online, I think they had some specifically for children, so a bit smaller.

 

I ended up getting a 3-pack by Sofia Vergara for $18.  They were basic colors and very nice.

@tototwo I thought I was the only one with a mask problem! I don't like wearing one, but if I have to, they better be cute and they have to coordinate with what I'm wearing. I have quite a few and I'm expecting the 3 more fall ones that I ordered last week and that are currently in transit. We might as well make the best of a bad situation!
