I only got into this color combo a few years ago, but I’m totally digging it. Pink and red have been my favorite colors since childhood, but for some strange reason, I never thought to pair them together. In any case, I’m making up for lost time.

I’ve been living in this super cozy oversized sweater dress for the past few weeks with no plans to stop any time soon. It’s sold out online, but if you swing by your location H&M, I’ll be you can find one. I popped into two stores recently, and they still had a number of sizes in stock.

About the Fit
Even though this dress is definitely oversized, I went up a size for extra coziness (and to guard against shrinkage). My husband asked me if I bought the right size, but sometimes boys just don’t get it, lol! As the temps continue to drop, I’ll also be wearing this with leggings and tights for a different look.

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

After a long weekend of binging on turkey and sweet potato pie, the last thing I wanted to do is squeeze into a pair of skinny jeans. So instead I reached way back into my closet for this swingy sweater dress that I’ve had for years. The bow keeps it festive, but the loose fit means I can keep my food baby under wraps for at least another day.

I paired this look with my two favorite accessories of the moment. The first being this adorable beret that I just couldn’t resist as soon as I saw the bow on the back. And last, but definitely not least, these gorgeous yet super comfy block-heeled mary janes with a colorful graphic print.

The Best $20 I Ever Spent {H&M Chenille Sweater + Red Ankle Boots}

If I look super-geeked in the above photo, it’s because I was pretty excited about this outfit. It’s full of all the things I love:

  1. Let’s start with this ahh-ma-zing chenille sweater I scooped up at H&M recently for just $20. If you follow me on the ‘gram (and if you don’t, I forgive you), then you may have caught my celebratory boomerang shimmy when I first bought it.
  2. My absolute favorite earrings – Seriously, I have these in three colors already, and I’m patiently awaiting my 4th pair to arrive in the mail. I get TONS of compliments whenever I wear them.
  3. This Ralph Lauren bucket bag is a life-saver on the weekends. It’s compact, yet large enough to hold all of my essentials, including my huge DSLR camera which can be a pain to lug around. I’ve had this black one for two years, and I purchased a gorgeous caramel version earlier this year.
  4. These red ankle boots are a new addition to my wardrobe, and I feel so sassy whenever I wear them. They also have a chunky heels which makes them perfect for pounding the pavement.

About the Fit:
This chenille sweater is officially my jam, and I’ve already decided I’m gonna get it in more colors. And at just $20 a pop, can you really blame me? It’s the perfect cropped length that makes it easy to wear with pants and skirts. I really love how it’s boxy, yet still feminine because of the slightly ballooned sleeves. This gorgeous red color is so cheery and festive that I know it’ll be a staple over the holidays. No ugly Christmas sweaters for me this year!
