Happy Monday, everyone!
I have to be honest with you. It’s around this time of year, when chilly temperatures start taking over, that my level of energy and motivation slowly begin to wane. It’s a struggle to get motivated to do anything when it’s cold outside. I seriously just want to cuddle up under a warm and cozy blanket and drink hot chocolate all day.
I really had to talk myself into getting ready and going outside to take these pictures. The only motivating factor for this particular photo shoot was that I got to wear this warm and cozy Forever 21 fuzzy plaid sweater. It feels so soft to the touch and its relaxed fit makes it the perfect go-to sweater to throw over leggings and boots. And yes, I had to dust off my wool peacoat. I can’t believe it’s winter coat weather already!

I totally understand where you are coming from with the weather. I hate cold weather, and love my heating pad and just my ability to lounge over the weekend. I love the colors in the sweater, and your jacket is lovely, a fan of structured jackets Now go in and get warm! ha

I know exactly what you’re talking about! I’m getting lazier. I walk out of work, and the sun has already set! It looks like 9 pm during the summer 🙁 I feel like the day has already ended even before I get the chance to eat dinner these days so my motivation is slowly dying under the dreary weather.
You should do a post on how you’ve kept blogging through the winter months when inspiration is low!! I would definitely read that 😀

Oi!!! I love this style!! Also find some here! http://www.robecart.com
Hello Cynthia! I totally get what you say about not wanting to go out on a cold afternoon. Temperatures are starting to drop here in Orlando and I feel the same way sometimes (and it is not as cold in here!) so I can relate. You look super chic on that fuzzy plaid sweater… it is super cute! The skinny pants are to die for, I would love to have a pair like that. When I say a picture of you wearing this outfit on IG I immediately thought: “I have to pay her a visit!” You look super chic and beautiful. Hope all is well with you and your family. Take care my friend:-) XOXO, Jeannette

I vaguely remember these fuzzy sweaters being so popular when I was in high school, so I’m definitely partial to this look. Plus, I love how the pattern and fit of this sweater make it more modern, too. Great look!

This sweater is adorable, I want it! I haven’t been in F21 for a few months, surprisingly, but need to make a trip there soon. I also love the look of leather lined leggings with a sweater!
