finds: Chunky Winter Sweater

One fashion justification that has worked to my advantage, in the transition to Chicago, is adding fall and winter clothing to my wardrobe.  Previously, in Phoenix and Austin, "winter clothing" consisted of wearing everything I already wore during the spring and summer months, with a jacket.  Summer dress... with a jacket.  Flowing tank top... with a jacket.  I knew this would not fly in the Windy City past September and that I would have to supplement my wardrobe in some way or another.  Along with my extremely generous mother-in-law who showered me with sweaters, coats, gloves, and the like, I have also been searching for warm apparel in the best way I know how- on clearance!  That is why I was so excited with this oversized, chunky sweater I recently snagged.

Last weekend was wonderfully a little warmer, so when I wore this outfit that night, I just added a hat and gloves and was perfectly fine!
