Sequins and Sea Breezes: express

express

First off, thank you all for your kind words on Monday. It was definitely a tougher post to hit publish on and I hope now getting a glimpse into my personal life, you guys understand why I've been so sporadic in the blogging world lately. Reading all your support on Monday really made me wish I had shared some of this sooner so I wouldn't have been going through it all so alone! You guys really are the best! And despite the fact I could go on and on about how much I appreciate you all... let's get on to today's post! In case you were wondering, this is what someone who is completely frozen but still trying to be a fashion blogger looks like. I officially have a newfound respect for all my up north blogger friends who run out in freezing temperatures to take pictures because I was miserable, took less than 15 pictures and gave up. So to all my northern bloggers, props to you! Ok, now that I've complained about taking pictures in 30 degree weather with 15 mph winds, let's chat about how much I love this sweater, shall we?

I'm sure you've seen this sweater at least 2.38 billion times already because it seems like every blogger and their mom got it but when I saw it was on sale for $25 I caved and picked it up myself. Now I officially see why everyone had it, it's insanely soft, cozy and incredibly flattering. How often do you find an article of clothing that is flattering on almost every frame? That's right, never, but this sweater actually is the complete package. And I know I've talked about these boots before but I just cannot stop wearing them. As a petite girl, finding the perfect pair of over the knee boots is like finding a unicorn but these fit so well, are so warm and despite having a pretty decent heel on them, they're actually pretty comfy. I wore these while walking around for about 5 miles (don't get me wrong, we took lots of sitting breaks in between) and when I took them off at the end of the day I thought my feet would be killing me but they actually weren't that bad! And they definitely kept me warm so I won't complain. Seriously though, to all of my up north bloggers, how do you take pictures in the winter??
