When I first saw this cozy cardigan from H&M, I fell in love with it. But I told myself that I'd think it over, and walked away from it. It wasn't expensive or anything, but I am trying to be wiser about my spending habits. But I did keep thinking about this cardigan, and the clincher was when I saw a woman at my office wear it to work and it re-ignited this want. Weeks after originally spotting this cardigan, I walk into H&M, not really expecting to find it since the store has such a high turnover rate. But there was one left and of course I snapped it up with my greedy little hands. Luckily I had a gift card I could use, which made it even better. 

I paired this sweater with a striped knit top my mother gave me for Christmas, and a past season anthropologie skirt that I always meant to wear recently but never got around to styling. I wish I took a detail shot of the shoes, they are very simple black patent wedges that I got on sale in Atlanta, very comfortable and perfect for the office. (And they also fit nicely into my bow tote for my commute, where I wear boots.) I like to carry this tote during foul weather, because I don't have to worry about my leather bags getting ruined. 

I was kind of hoping for a snow day today, but that didn't happen, boo! Now the snow is melting and is all slushy, not pretty at all. It was real pretty to watch the snow fall last night though, my neighborhood seemed so peaceful. By the time I get back to my apartment tonight, that pretty snow will just be a distant memory.
