sweater - Old Navy
tie - VanHeusen

I left one of the knit flowers in my hair (since it was already braided in) and made sure my outfit matched it.  My Peter Rabbit earrings were well-received :D

winter patterns

So many patterns!  I love that about winter—I start piling on the layers and end up with a combination of all kinds of things I never would've thought to put together.  Makes me feel warm and happy!

Being a pattern-lover, of course I am also quite fond of ties.  I can't get enough of the paisley and the intricate designs and fancy colours!!  They're too delicious.  I am slowly building up a necktie collection from relatives who don't wear theirs and department store clearance/sale shelves.  I have been told thrift stores are another good source for ties, but I never remember to look when I am at one.
