That's a wrap!

Well, "in like a lamb" lasted about 3 seconds. 
Or technically, 1 day.

It's March 2nd, and we've officially reverted back to sub-zero temperatures, with a high today in the teens.  Yesterday's 41F is like a sad, teasing memory.

And so it's back to the winter wardrobe.  Which isn't an all bad things I guess. 

This is one of my regular go-tos--a great wrap sweater from Ann Taylor.

It's casual enough to wear to go shopping in or over to the in-law's for dinner--- and could probably be dressed up should that need ever arise.  (As a general rule though, I don't do "dress-ups" during winter.  I just end up being cold.  And as my husband will readily inform you, that only leads to crabbiness).

I don't know if anything about this sweater could make me crabby though.  It's loose enough to be able to layer underneath, but doesn't end up looking big and boxy.  And because of the well-placed buttons, you get the look of a loose, elegant wrap without having to spend all night readjusting yourself (which is never flattering).

And lastly---it's unique.  It seems like otherwise, the sweater department has 3 options:

1.  Bulky, ill-fitting cable knit

2.  The button-up cardigan---fun the first three times---but gets to be boring after the 4th one this week.

and lastly:

3.  The turtleneck.  In my opinion, only to be worn by turtles.  Or librarians from 1982.  Never a good thing.

And lastly---my most coveted winter piece.

The cashmere travel wrap from The Limited.
Seriously, its like being wrapped up in a cup of hot chocolate. 

With whipped cream.

It's absolutely delicious.

And the size is tremendous!  It's a little thin, which is good, or you'd look like you have an entire blanket wrapped around your neck.  I've used mine as both a shawl with a fancy dress, and as a scarf with my winter coat.  Probably one of the best purchases I've ever made---and something that's timeless and classic enough to wear forever!
