Today we went to get our first live Christmas Tree! It came with the refreshing smell of a rich pine forest, reminding me of snow, hot chocolate,  fireplace and cozy clothes! I miss warm, cozy sweaters and boots, especially since I live in Florida but today the weather was a little chilly (49F/9C is really cold even for Orlando in December). This sweater was sitting in my closet for two years, never worn…. so, today was the day!

The white one is actually a beach cover/dress. Thick knitted cotton was too hot to wear in the summer, but for my look, it is perfect, snaggy and long enough for the first layer of my outfit. Adding a relaxed-fitting scoop-neck, cozy “too short” sweater from Buffalo David Bitton with shorter front and longer back, created a layering effect that I love.
