hippie hippie hoorah

One major aspect to stray cat life is being exponentially lazier than the next bitch but keeping it cute at the same time. Today I am feeling very lazy. It's currently 31 degrees outside and although I only have one class I don't want to freeze my ass off on the way to or from school.

I got this sweater from a thriftstore near my house on the southside. I am legitimately obsessed with this sweater. Honestly, if you know me, you've probably seen me wear this sweater some time during the winter. I wear this sweater once a week, it's really warm and easy to wear. I also love the pattern and the continuity of the pattern from the front to back is really nice. The pattern lines up almost perfectly all the way around and symmetry is always refreshing. Sometimes if I decide to wear this on the weekend I'll just wear tights with it because I feel like it's long enough to just be a sweater dress (this fact is definitely debatable). Today I'm wearing it with American Apparel nylon-tricot leggings which are probably the best leggings on the market.

Another thing I like a lot about this sweater is that although it intentially oversized, my shoulders aren't all wonky. Often when you buy oversized sweaters the shoulder seam goes past the shoulder and to the middle of your upper arm. This sweater has the most perfect shoulder pads to add a little structure. When I first bought this sweater it had a baby turtle neck which I cut off because it looked, for lack of better words, stupid. I am left with a kind of frayed yet endearing neck line.

Since I have to leave my house in 15 minutes, I don't feel like taking 5 of those minutes to do my makeup and hair so I'm just wearing a little bit of lipstick and rocking a messy pomp/bun combo. Damn it feels good to be a kitty.
