Chunky Knit






Sometimes a chunky knit is a chunky outfit that makes you feel a bit chunky; so I try to find ways to enjoy a chunky knit (when I can't wear some skinny jeans and don't rock anything that skin tight at the office).  Except I don't know how I feel about the number of layers I'm wearing.  I have a black long-sleeved tee and tights, with a thick knit sleeveless dress on top of that, and lastly a chunky knit that was a hand-me-down that I love. So. MANY. layers.  But it's still cold out so I.D.G.A.F.  Chunky is okay.  I also accessorized with some chunky silver pieces so I wouldn't get lost in my all black everything under layers.  I snapped the first pic when I first got into the office since my hair seems to fall out of it's intended look through the morning.  I had the best snacks for breakfast this morning and always try to remember when wearing cozy knits to grab the zebra lint roller which helps with crumbs, too.

I Choose Red and Red







Red, red, I choose red!  Red stripey thin sweaters (from Gap's (RED) line, fittingly), red wool belted pea coats, red roses, and red stripes on cozy scarves.  Plus, I have a new obsession with this little breakfast on-the-go granola mix that is caramel macchiato and includes chocolate covered espresso beans because AWESOME.  Or, is that the caffiene talking?  I tried the new vanilla macchiato and it's either not sweet enough or I got jipped on the vanilla syrup.  But that's it; I'm going back to caramel, enough said.  I'm wearing my favorite heart-shaped accessory and I haven't figured out how to get the charm to lay flat yet.  I think it's because I have a thing about which side I have the clasp on or something. Red's supposedly a power of color and confidence as well.  And it just helps to pull my hair back in a clip when I'm filing, all empowering-like.
