Sweater Weather

Hello All!  Sorry about my extended absence; we were in Paris for just over a week and apparently not all of my scheduled posts actually posted because I am bad at scheduling things.  But, I'm back, and I'll write a Paris post soon (I know, I know, just what you wanted, more pictures of Paris).  And for now, here I am in a sweater.




Knowing that I was going to move to the frozen steppes of Pennsylvania, I tried to find oversized sweaters to help keep me warm this winter.  Unfortunately, when you're built like me, oversized often just ends up being "sized."  But, that's not the case with this Gap sweater.


As you can see, it's truly oversized:



And, truly cozy.  It has everything I like in a sweater; softness, warmth, and the color blue.  So far, the only downside has been that it pills fairly easily.  I'm hoping regular maintenance with a sweater shaver will help with that though.


Even if it doesn't, I'll probably continue to wear the heck out of this sweater this winter.  Of course, I won't be wearing it with boyfriend jeans and flats like I am here:

Sweater: Gap  Jeans: Lucky (similar)  Flats: Old Navy (similar)


No, here in Pittsburgh, I imagine I'll be layering it over a turtleneck or seven with jeans over leggings tucked into snow boots.  Because, I don't know if you know this or not, but Pennsylvania is cold folks.  So very cold.

Happy Tuesday, All!
