The Grandpa Sweater

Here in Boston, January is throwing us for a loop. The weather has been sublime lately, and a thick sweater is doing well as a jacket. And if you want to be extra cozy, it might be time to try a grandpa sweater. 

The "grandpa sweater" is not a technical term but it was dubbed with this name because it's big, comfy, and absolutely divine for snuggling up in, i.e. Mister Roger's style =) 

I've always been a big fan of over-sized wool sweaters, they let you bury yourself in their comfy warmth. Granted, this is not the outfit to bust out on a first date or for Friday night cocktails but it's a cute a trendy look for Sunday brunch or afternoon shopping.  

I love them most paired with skinnies - it's long enough to cover your derriere, comfy enough to echo in public and you'll still look slim because your legs will be on full display. I love wearing menswear-inspired clothes. There's something about messy hair, no make-up, and an over-sized sweater! I hope my bare face didn't scare you, but in all honesty I don't wear make-up to work or school so keeping it real today =)
