This sweater, to my mind, was not an optional purchase. First of all, it’s made by one of my favorite brands, Woolrich, which I hadn’t been aware was available at Kohl’s (bear pillow, ahem). And second, it has a snowman on it, but somehow manages to be in “adorable wintry sweater” territory rather than in “ironic ugly Christmas sweater” world. (No shade there – I enjoy a good ugly Christmas sweater myself – just sometimes one prefers to be un-ironic in one’s holiday attire.)
These photos – part two of my Thanksgiving partnership with Kohl’s – were shot at a community center moments before my daughter’s ballet class, if you’re wondering why there is a two-foot tall person in a leotard wandering around in them (but you weren’t, because you’ve presumably been reading here for awhile and presumably know by now that if my daughter is present when a picture is being taken, she is going to be in that picture, please and thanks). I was originally going to pair the sweater with these insanely good jeans, but ended up wearing the jeans in this shot. The Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s faux suede skirt is cute – and soooo comfortable – but I think it’d work better with either an oversized sweater and OTK boots (like these) or a slim-fitting turtleneck.
But I had the snowman sweater with me, and I wanted to wear the snowman sweater, and when it’s the holidays and you want to wear a snowman sweater my feeling is that you do.
