Sweater Weather

Let’s be real, given the time of year and the beginning of winter / feast season, most of us have been living in sweaters for some time now. It’s funny how people die for sweater weather in SoCal. As someone who grew up in the midwest I can tell you the cold is NOT all it’s cracked up to be. With that being said, I’m all about embracing the season of chunky, oversized knits (I regularly buy my sweaters 2 sizes too big) and am celebrating the advent of sweater weather wholeheartedly.

Sweater Weather

This chunky sweater by dRA is my absolute favorite piece in my closet right now. Ask anyone who knows me – I cannot. stop. wearing it! It’s beyond cozy and the slightly oversized. It’s drape-y fit makes it versatile enough to dress up or down! I love wearing it with my Gold Hawk set (pjs or clothes? we’ll never know), skinny jeans, a denim skirt, whatever I feel like that day. Sure, it might get a little dirty because it’s cream, but honestly nothing a little wash cycle or dry cleaning can’t fix.

With proper care, a nice sweater can last you for years – I always make a point to invest in one (or two) nice knits a year. In my opinion, a good slouchy sweater will never be out of style. I tend to stick to neutrals (white, cream, tan, grey, black) and have convinced myself I need every oversized style in every color.

Some of my favorite brands for knits and sweaters: Free People, Vince, Aritzia, and Acne. You can find on trend styles at fast fashion sites, but if you’re going to splurge on winter clothing it should be sweaters and coats. Invest in the nicer fabric, it will be worth it when you find yourself living in it for half the year. I’ve linked my favorite sweater picks below : ).

Pajama Set

Back to the topic of Gold Hawk, I have never loved a pajama set more. Their intimates are so luxe and functional (pockets in shorts, check!), I’m not even ashamed to admit I’ve worn this set out and to sleep. Not in the same go though (yet). I think I love and want everything on their site…

Speaking of sweater weather, it’s also the season of Netflix and chill… so what’s everyone watching these days? I’m not normally the biggest fan of TV but Westworld has me HOOKED. Cannot wait for the season finale!

As always, thank you for reading!
