Winter Warmth

It's weird to think that winter only started three days before Christmas Eve! lol..the winter chill always gets around the beginning of December, then heightens during the 21st--Winter Solstace!

When i was younger, the finer the sweater was spun the better.  I hated chunky sweaters and of course, anything 'cable knit' was too frumpy!  Of course as I've grown older I've learned to appreciate the chunkier knits for their soft, comfy 'blanket-ish' feel.

Check out my two recent chunky sweater purchases for winter!

Rawr! seeing spots

Last december during boxing day, I saw this cute leopard sweater that I was so itching to get.  Unfortunately it was abit out of my price range being at around $100 after markdown.  I opted out of buying it and hoped one day I'd find a substitute....It's taken me almost one year but eureka! I found it!

Fall Must-Have #4: Sweaters & ponchos

I have seen this sweater every year for about a couple of years now at Aritzia.  I almost bought it the first year it came out but hesitated.  Originally, it came out in two styles, one was a zip-up style (shown below) and the other was a pull-over style which was the one I actually wanted.  Unfortunately, the latter sold out so fast, I barely got a chance to find it in any store, much less in my size.

I heart Cable!

Several years ago Jacob came out with this Cable knit turtleneck sweater in cream that was to die for! I love the thick knit of it, and it just looked so plush and luxurious, like a cable knit throw you wanna just envelop you on a cold day.  I was never able to buy it, what with my situation as a starving student back then.  It has haunted me ever since lol.  Just like my great cape search, the cable knit sweater has been one of those elusive items on  my list of must haves that has never been checked off--at least, not quite yet.

It's not that the cable knit doesn't come out every year, there are certainly lots of variations on it, with hood or without, zippers and different colours.  I think it's my picky nature that has prevented me from buying just any kind of cable knit sweater.  I've been meticulous about what kind and the feel of sweater I want.  If I am to wear this all around for the rest of the cold weather, wouldn't it be smart to wear a sweater that feels like a blanket instead of a burlap sack??

Here is one option that I found recently...
