And speaking of sweaters this fair isle cardi represents all the things I love about hygge --the Danish word that embodies the special feelings that come with comfy, cosy, and charming moments. The holidays are prime hggye time, and I'm prepping my seasonal outfitting around that hygge philosophy. Think chunky knits, leg warmers, scarves, pieces to keep me toasty as winter sets in, yet mixing up patterns and colors to make things festive. I'll be sporting a lot of cardigans and leggings with functional boots and drapey tops, which may sound a bit basic, but trust I'll be bringing the hygge hard!

Sometimes I like to shake things up with an overhaul of hanger partners, which doesn't necessarily make things more efficient, but DOES give me new ideas on how to style my current wardrobe. Consider it another way of shopping one's closet. So, I've breathed some new style life into this blazer with this camouflage button-up, while keeping the look casual with black joggers and duck boots.  And speaking of "new style life" I realize my posting has been haphazard at best, and the past few posts I haven't really brought my Style A-Game.  Maybe this post should be "Lack of a Style Li
