Although I’ve been turning the heat on at night over the past few weeks, it usually gets shut off by the time the sun has risen the following morning and starts warming my apartment on it’s own, and when I go out in the late afternoons or evenings – I’ve rarely needed more than a sweater or my lightweight denim jacket. It’s been fairly mild and mostly comfortable this Fall, which I haven’t necessarily minded all that much.
But earlier this week, the real Autumnal chill set in. It was subtle at first, but now it’s becoming more and more noticeable. While walking to my car after work the other day, I actually said “I might need to finally get my wool coat out of storage” to a co-worker who was visibly shivering as they tried to pull a hoodie on. Us New Englanders know what that means – Winter is upon us!
But before I start breaking out the fleece-lined leggings, the gloves, and the snow boots again, I wanted to share a newer addition to my closet that I’ve been loving as of late and am hoping to wear to this year’s upcoming Thanksgiving plans with my family. I’m not ready to put this one away just yet, especially since it’s designed to be worn over other, warmer things!
This long, beige knitted cardigan was a purchase I’d made during my most recent visit to Watch Hill Beach in October. I’d been strolling and doing some window shopping when I saw it from the sidewalk, and knowing that I wanted something to wear over my turtleneck collection at both work and during the upcoming seasonal gatherings – I picked one up – and I’ve been loving it ever since!
This one is buttery soft, flows nicely (and doesn’t cling like other longer sweaters can sometimes do) – has pockets! – and pairs nicely with my current Fall color palette very nicely, so it’s been getting a lot of wear lately.
I recently wore this one during a post-voting dinner I’d grabbed with Dan last week since I’d met up with him right after hitting the polls – and I’m thinking it’ll make another appearance over a dress I’ve picked out for Thanksgiving since I want to look nice AND be comfortable.
In the coming weeks, I’m sure my “OOTD” posts are going to start looking a little more festive as we start inching closer and closer to the holidays – but I’m still very much in an Autumnal state of style right now!
