I hope everyone is having a wonderful winter holiday. Speaking of winter, isn’t this the perfect winter outfit? A fuzzy sweater, boots, and a knit hat to keep me warm and cozy. And let’s not forget, super cute! I’ve been spending this week with my family in the mountains and it’s been cold and sometimes wet, so this outfit has come in handy. I’ve also been eating a ton of great food and lounging around, so I might have to go up a size at the beginning of the year… I guess I’ve found my New Year’s Resolution! 😉

Here’s the blooper!

I told you last week about my newest obsession with cropped sweaters and here’s proof: another cropped sweater. I wore it with my “fancy pajama pants” to work and to class because I just wanted to feel cozy and comfortable; I succeeded. I’m not really sure what else to say about it, so just enjoy some photos.

Isn’t this a cool pattern?

Here’s the fun Blooper: I have no idea what I was doing, but clearly I wasn’t ready for the photo!

First, pleae allow me  to say Happy Veterans Day and send out my profound gratitude to everyone that has served or currently serves in our armed forces.

Second, I’m loving cropped sweaters. I want to buy them all and wear them year-round. As a high-waisted short girl, I have a hard time finding tops that aren’t too long and some trends, like half-tucking sweaters, just don’t work. But cropped sweaters get me, especiallly these mohair cropped sweaters from Banana Republic. In fact, I bought several of them in different colors. The awesome thing is I can wear them layered like this OR I can wear them as sweaters with high-waisted bottoms, half-tucked! Maybe average height girls can do that, too, but I’m just excited to find a trend that works for me so I hope this one sticks around.

I wore this outfit for our annual family photos that go out on our holiday cards. I’ll be sharing a few of them later this week.

The knitting on the back is a nice touch.
