COFFEE CARDIGAN

It’s that time of the year when everyone falls into a slump.

P A R I S I N C H A R L O T T E

I seriously can’t keep up with the weather any longer. Last Saturday it was snowing, and today it’s supposed to be 67 degrees. Talk about climate change. Not to mention it’s been a while since we’ve seen the sun, so the gloom is at it’s all time high.

Sometimes I find myself with a lack of motivation during this time of the year. All I want to do is stay home, drink tea, and watch TV which probably makes me a dark cloud to be around as well. It gets hard to push through those moments, but the best way to get out of a funk, is to actually (physically) get out of it. Yes, it may not be the prettiest here lately, but living life like I’m in Paris helps. Grabbing some coffee, eating the croissant (or kronut!), being outside, and taking a moment to be thankful for what I have really helps. Those are the days that rejuvenate.

I’ve also been throwing on this knitted cardigan a lot lately. It’s been the perfect piece for this type of the weather. I love utilizing it when it’s cold early in the morning and when it gets chillier late at night. I love that it’s oversized with big pockets, and I’ve always been drawn to the color and comfort of coffee.
