    I’m still on that sweater kick I mentioned. I see no end in sight. How did I even go this long hating on sweaters?! I actually didn’t like this one the first time I tried it on. Buuut that was most likely because I hadn’t showered yet for the day, had the gnarliest morning hair (which is definitely a daily thing. I’m talking bangs straight in the air errrrday!), and was still wearing pajamas pants. So when I put on the sweater and looked in the mirror I was disappointed it didn’t somehow turn me into a pretty pretty princess with perfect hair. Anyway, after a shower, the sweater and I fell in love. It’s so cozy and that color looks awesome with my hair color! I’m going to be kind of bummed when it gets too warm to wear sweaters again.
