Warm winter woolies

This time of the year, there's nothing quite like snuggling up in a cozy knit sweater before heading out into the cold. I'll be honest, I already do have a LOT of sweaters. But hey, it's Canada, and with 8 months of winter, you need more than one!

I've had a bit of a craving for "new" winter wear recently; (can one crave clothing? Not like a pregnant woman craves dirt or anything...) Last week during my workday while getting some fresh air (and darn cold air at that), I popped into Kind Exchange to see what they had in the warm clothing department. Turns out, quite a lot. PLUS they were having a 25% off sale on all sweaters! Boo ya!

I managed to nab these two cozy short-sleeve knits for the swell price of $25:




Numero dos:






Both are surprisingly warmer than you'd think for not having full sleeves. To be honest, I find sleeves a bit annoying. I usually end up rolling them up anyways, plus my office likes to blast the heat and I'd prefer not to sweat in front of my computer all day...Anyways, both of these are great for layering!

The hunt for sweaters continued this past weekend, when I popped into Common Sort for a wee browse. I came out with a lovely soft grey sweater dress and an exercise hoodie!


avec poches!





And:

it's obvious that I don't run. Ever.

This will serve me well on bad hair days

Did someone say jazz hands? Oh wow look there are holes for my thumbs!
HURGH!
