OOTD: Friends With Benefits

No.....not those kind of benefits. I mean the kind where a friend would go out and buy herself a brand new pair of red matchstick cords from Ann Taylor and then the next day find out she is pregnant. The kind of friend who only has 8 weeks or so to wear said cords, and then, rather than banishing them to the back of the closet for the next 2(?) years, decides they are too cute for that and should get some use. And thus, becomes the kind of friend who gifts said cords to you.

Thoooose kind of benefits.

Thanks for getting knocked up, friend.

The sweater is also new. In sticking with my resolution to buy higher quality classics that I will wear more often, I purchased this cashmere sweater from Macy's during their post-holiday sale. I also got the same one in purple. And I already had the same one in charcoal grey. Because I am the kind of person who buys things in multiples...and because taking fashion risks gives me anxiety.  Sigh.

And, look! I moved my mirror out of my closet. Hooray.

  1. I love these cords! So much so that I tried them on during the after-Christmas sales, but they just didn't work for me. Sad face. Wow do I love them on you though! What a nice friend to have!

    And I think buying high quality classics is an awesome resolution! I finally figured out if I'm going to spend money on clothes, it should be something that I'll get a ton of wear out of, and you definitely will with this sweater.

    1. I know....I totally lucked out with her, and these! :)

      The only downside is that they are petites, so I have to wear them tucked into boots. But I can deal with that.
