Say hello to my new favorite sweater!  You may have already heard the story about this Autumn Cashmere landscape sweater from my January Wardrobe Update but for those that didn't I'll share again! It all starts with an Instagram photo in August. You know I'm all about the statement piece and this one is extra soft & comfy - bonus! At one point it had sold out so I was pretty sad and had non-buyers remorse. But then one came back in my size but was still full price so I patiently waited. Eventually it went on sale plus Autumn Cashmere was offering 20% off sale prices. It was still a splurge but I used the remainder of my advertising and Christmas money to buy it.

It's such a fun piece and has a lot of the colors that my wardrobe is built on. I already have a few more looks I want to wear. I don't have a photographer during the week anymore so my photo taking is now strictly on the weekends unless I want to use my tripod outside in the freezing cold (I don't.)  Once it warms up a bit I may be able to take them during the week again but for now we'll be a little light on posts unless we do a big chunk on the weekends.

On Monday Lydia and I met up for our annual Christmas lunch. This year we went back to one of our old favorites - The Chowder Pot. This used to be our main meet-up spot. We'd eat lunch, take photos in Branford's town center, and do some thrifting at her local spots. The Chowder Pot is one of my favorite restaurants, they have the BEST honey butter bread, I made sure to bring one home so Christian could enjoy it. I've been going there with my family since I was young, I always recommend it because it never disappoints.  It was also a favorite haunt of my friend Hayley and I when we lived together.  She was a bit jealous when she found out I went without her, oopsie!

It's slowly starting to get warmer out there (except for yesterday's huge snowstorm!,) but we keep having cold days where I want to wear a nice big sweater. For this throwback my toes get a little sun because it wasn't THAT cold out. And I added my Louis Vuitton bag because I thought the orange went nicely with the deep purple. Definitely a more fall color palette than Spring, but most of my clothes are fall-colored anyway. That's what happens when you love purple and burgundy, haha.

There are so many problems with this outfit post. But I hate waste and I was too lazy to put it back on and retake the photos. Ha ha. It was SUPER sunny so my Dad and I tried to take photos with me standing in the shade but for some reason they came out extra dark. I did my best to brighten them but they were beyond repair. I'm also wearing my bag backwards...GAH! But now you get a nice look at the back.

It was a little cold for these shoes I'm wearing in the photos, but you have to make some sacrifices for the sake of fashion, right? (Obviously I wore different shoes when I was really outside, but for 5 minutes of photos I dealt with it) The original pants in this look were from ASOS. I liked them but the quality was poor so eventually I got rid of them. Now I have these purple Banana Republic pants to fill the gap!

Who doesn't love purple with a bit of leopard print? I've always enjoyed this outfit so I'm glad I was able to re-wear it recently. I also added in my Louis Vuitton Epi bag because the burnt orange was too perfect with the purple and white.

This outfit is a little out there, but I still like it! Without the blazer it's slightly more normal but it was a very chilly day so I  decided to go monochromatic-ish with my layers. I can pretty much wear this dress with anything underneath. Previously I wore it with my Zara crop top and a black shirt.

I wore this for a little mid-week excursion with my parents to Kringle Candle in Bernadston, Massachusetts. While I technically played hooky for the day, I really didn't. I had my computer on hand so I could work in the car on the 2 hour drive if need be and I worked from about 3-8 once we got home. That's the good thing about freelance, I don't have to work 9-5, although I usually do. It's just nice to have some flexibility if I need/want to do something during the day.

The store is FULL of candles (and Christmas decor) but it doesn't smell like you've walked into a perfume shop full of smells. They also have a house-wear/Christmas/toy/food shop as well as a chocolate shop to enjoy!



We also stopped at The Farm Table, Kringle Candle's farm to table restaurant, for lunch. I had "The Lulu" a DELICIOUS flatbread with pickled onions, cured Italian meats, mozzarella and some oregano. My dad had the Thai Shrimp wrap and my mom went for a special - the squash & brussell sprout risotto.
