OOTD Jan 20/12

Haven't shopped online much since Christmas and I feel very good about it. But after Christmas, I went home to Toronto and bought quite a bit. Not all of them are clothing items, some of them are household items (which make me feel less guilty).

Came home to reality last week and all of a sudden things are back to normal. Need just a little bit of adjustment and I made small purchases online. Most of them are too good of a deal to pass.

I bought a few items off Talbots online and was so excited about a scoopneck sweater but ended up being out of stock and what a bummer. So I went back to Land's End Canvas and got the cable knit crewneck sweater. This one is on sale from $59.99 to $18.99. Just can't believe how good the quality is when I opened the package.

I got it in small since the last cardigan I got from them, I got a medium and I am swimming in it. Color is lavender berry. Love love love this color. The sleeves are 3/4 and the material is really soft. Not too snug and clingy to the body which I find a lot of sweaters of this style are. 


I wear the sweater with a purple Armani Exchange shirt I had from years back. Funny that I haven't worn the shirt for so long and has hit the " going to be donated" pile at the back of the closet. But somehow, it made its way back to being hung and worn quite a bit with my purple obsession this winter. 

The scarf is a Christmas gift and I'm not sure what brand it is but I love the navy/lavender combination. Perfect for this sweater.

  1. Pretty! I bought that same sweater in the darker purple orchid and the chartruese colors right before the holidays and love mine! Such nice quality! I was contemplating getting a 3rd color, and after seeing how pretty that lavender berry is on you I think that's the one I'll be getting!

    1. That's really funny. I was contemplating between purple orchid and this color. But I'm pleasantly surprised how good the quality of this sweater is. Maybe I will go get another one before the sale ends.

  2. Love it! The lavender is gorgeous! I wore the same sweater in dark orange today. I really enjoy the everything about this sweater and they are a great deal. Love LEC and enjoy seeing others style their pieces.
