My Collection: Cozy Autumn/Winter Sweaters

IT’S FINALLY THAT TIME OF YEAR, I CAN FINALLY WEAR SWEATERS WITHOUT BEING UNCOMFORTABLY HOT WHEN I WALK OUTSIDE!!! WOO-HOO!

All joking set aside, it really is my favorite feeling-slipping on an incredibly warm sweater that just seems to form to your body the moment you put it on, and getting to walk out into the late autumn weather and not be bothered by the chilled breeze.

Over the years I have developed quite the collection of sweaters, and I honestly don’t think I could have fit them all into a picture, so I picked out my 5 favorite sweaters, that I got for all VERY reasonable prices! Each of these varies in thickness/length, but all of them are very warm, and all work very well with jeans!

The first sweater I got from Old Navy, and are you ready for this…I got it for $0.97! As you can tell from the tag, it is VERY big on me, but is incredibly cozy, and looks very “trendy” when it’s pared with some ripped jeans and some ankle boots!

The second sweater I believe I also got from Target…but don’t quote me on that. It was in the $17-$25 range, but it hands down the warmest sweater EVER. I love how soft this sweater is, but I also love how easy it is to dress up. This sweater also has a V-neck that is a very comfortable amount, and also makes this sweater look great with necklaces!

The third sweater I got from Kohl’s and it was $7.00! This sweater is much longer than the rest of them, but is a great length if you are a bit taller like me! I love this sweater pared with a scarf, but it’s very versatile!

This fourth sweater is also from Kohl’s, and is what I call my Confetti Cake sweater, and it was around $25. It is also a VERY warm sweater, and is so soft! I love this sweater, and it has actually lasted the longest out of all of these sweaters!

The fifth sweater is actually from Walmart! (Go figure?!)  This sweater was $10, and is such a pretty color! I love how soft this is, but the only downside to buying a cheap sweater, is that it shrinks VERY easily!

Loving all of these sweaters, and how great of a deal they all were, and *fingers crossed* that I will get to wear them in the SNOW this winter! J

Sister Sister

I am so blessed to have sisters, and sometimes I have to remind myself of that. It’s something that’s hard to explain, unless you have sisters as well, that there is a sense of connection between sisters that is like nothing else. You are able to drive each other to the point of insanity, but you wouldn’t have it any other way. You know each other’s favorite candy, and you know exactly what song they want to play when you hop into the car together. You have “sister secrets” together that make you giggle at the slightest mention of them. You know what pet peeve annoys them the most, and you know how to make them laugh when they need it the most. You know the way to make them stop crying before mom finds out, and you know which item you will have to bribe them with to not tell dad about that one time you used his toothbrush as a toilet cleaner.  •___•

I will always have those sweet memories of playing outside for hours, pretending to be magical creatures, and playing with dirt covered plastic lizards. I will always think of us when I see the movies The Land Before Time or Stuart Little. I will always laugh when I see someone dressed up like a ghost for Halloween, and I will never be able to listen to a Disney song without thinking of our jam sessions on the way to school. Anytime I see a fishing pole, I will always think of our summer days spent with Papa at Hal's pond, and watching as one of you threw your pole into the pond in attempt to cast your line.  :)  Honestly, this list could go on forever!

Sisters are such a blessing, and I honestly believe that my sisters are the absolute best. We all have great relationships with each other, and the amount of memories we have together can’t be counted. Thank you both for being some of the most influential people in my life, I look up to both of you (even if one of you is younger) and I can’t thank you enough for being the amazing support system that you are.

Thanks for being my best friends, I love you both.
