look for less: cozy cardigan

All this talk of heavy rains and strong winds is making me grateful that I spent a lot of time outdoors this past week. I even wore shorts on Friday! I started going through my winter clothes bin the other day as a step towards a closet makeover and I was surprised by how many sweaters I already own. Most of my mine are thin or are 3/4 length because I get hot easily, but I love the look of chunky sweaters. I'm really loving this one from Target. From the picture it looks like it might be the perfect thickness for me - warm but not stifling!

Sweater Weather

by Lisa Shields

I was chilly with the November breeze, and it was a courtly thing you did draping the sweater over my shoulders, taking care to smooth the wool with a touch that whispered that later you would claim the garment, and the shiver taking it would bring was something you coveted with breathless avarice. “Sweater weather,” you said. And I am swept like a crisp oak leaf into a duvet and down dream, where the pillows do not speak of the warm, the moments large and small when I nestle near you, demanding that arms dress me to close kept comfort. Arms around my waist, legs entwined to akimbo, and my last thought before sweet drowse is that fall will never come without you to chase the cold in the season of sweater weather.
