20 Cozy Sweaters You Need This Fall

Ahhh, sweater weather. The weather so nice they make novelty t-shirts about it. Somehow they don't see the irony there?

This is (or will be when we stop getting these random 80 degree days) the perfect time of year to wrap up in a soft, maybe fuzzy, maybe oversized, sweater to keep the chillies at bay. A girl can only fit so many sweaters in her closet, but no one said anything about limiting (browser) window shopping, did they?

What cozy sweaters are you wearing this fall?

STYLE: Fun Beach Bags

Typically, all of my beach stuff (towel, sunscreen, book, snacks - always snacks) gets stuffed into whatever bag is closest to the door when I realize that I have way more stuff coming to the beach with me than I can carry in my hands. I do have one dedicated beach bag - complete with a bikini-clad kitten in a hammock and the caption "Cat-Nappin'!" - but it is sadly starting to show its age, and I'm keeping an eye out for a cute new beach buddy. Here are some of the cutest beach bags and totes I've seen lately:

One  //  Two  //  Three  //  Four  //  Five  //  Six  //  Seven  //  Eight  //  Nine

Can you even handle that banana print bag? What are you storing all your beach crap in these days?

STYLE: Fox Sweater OOTD

It's been quite some time since I've made an Outfit of the Day post, so I figured I'd rectify that since that's one of the things I claim to do around here. Truth is, no one is watching to tell me what to do, so sometimes I get a little off track and want to talk about bunny ear flats or the clothing of 90s TV when it comes to fashion posts instead of just sharing a picture of myself in whatever I happen to be wearing that day. 

This outfit makes me feel like a vintage British schoolboy. Uh, I guess that should be schoolgirl, but I can't help but feel like a little fancy boy for some reason. That's ok, right?

These houndstooth flats have been kicking around my life since 2005. They're so old that they make crackly noises when I walk in them. I've also covered up some scratches on the heels with a Sharpie because I am the absolute picture of sophistication.

Up close, you can see the little pink jewels on this pearl collar necklace. Clearance, as usual.

Outfit Details:

Fox Sweater: Old Navy

Corduroy Skirt: Old Navy

Knee Socks: Target

Houndstooth Flats: Old Navy

Collar Necklace: H&M

Rings: Vintage {Orange} & Claire's {Mood Ring}

Do you enjoy dressing for "school" even if you haven't been a student in years? What's your favorite piece of animal clothing? What's the longest you've worn a pair of shoes?

STYLE: Cheap Sunglasses Roundup

It's summer, guys! S-U-M-M-E-R. Aside from stuff like humid apartments, sand in our nether regions, melting makeup and that horrible, horrible feeling of becoming sweaty the instant you step out of the shower, summer is actually pretty alright. Have you noticed? So much of the good stuff is synonymous with summer - corn on the cob, swimming, grass, air conditioning, cookouts, the ocean and, of course, the sun. I'm assuming you can handle all that stuff yourself, so I'm just going to talk about that last one: the sun.

Somewhere between my best friend and my mortal enemy, the sun makes me feel all giddy and excited at times, while other times it's busy making my mustache area glisten and my skin turn lobster red. We struggle to get to a happy medium, and mostly it works well. One good thing is that the sun allows me to purchase WAY too many pairs of sunglasses, which I love. They're basically medicinal, right? Right.

Since I'm pretty cheap (but I'm focused on value, not cost necessarily) I love nothing more than scoring a super deal on fun sunglasses. Okay, I've already lied to you; I love A TON of stuff more than a good deal on sunglasses, but for the purposes of this post let's just get all hyperbolic up in here. Cheap sunglasses = good. I just CANNOT shell out more than $10 or so for something that has a 50/50 chance of ending up in broken pieces beneath my butt. This is a great general rule to live by, I think. 

These are all dirt cheap! We're talking around $5 mostly so get with it and buy some cheap sunglasses - it's S-U-M-M-E-R! It's more exciting when it's spelled that way, duh.

Do you own a lot of sunglasses? What's the longest you've kept a pair around without crushing them accidentally? My record so far is nine years and counting. I've always been too scared of jinxing myself to admit that, so I think that means we're getting closer, guys. Why are most people so inept at keeping sunglasses alive?
