what i wore - perfection in a sweater

i've been searching high & low for a cozy, thick-knit sweater for winter.
and i hit the jackpot at the thrift store a few days ago!

i found this gem, and i've worn it everday since.
(i also found this pretty mustard-colored cardigan.)
tonight, tim & i are having a real-life date night!
somehow we haven't seen much of each other lately.
too much work does that i suppose.
but we're thinking...dinner at home (currently baking some chicken!), a movie, and possibly out to dessert somewhere.

it should be a perfect little evening.
i woke up at 4:30 this morning to take my sister & brother-in-law to the airport.
they're flying off to visit friends in new jersey for a few days.

so, i'm back home for a quick second...
then heading off to chicago again today for work.
busy day ahead. true story.

but i thought i'd pop in and show you 3 beautiful ladies i've been working on.
they're meant to be 'swappies'. you & your two besties can swap them around.
remember friendship bracelets/necklaces?
kind of the same idea - only in plush owl form!

they all have pretty lace & pearl headbands...
so, the below-mentioned eight month anniversary date was smashing.
it was great to get out and relax for an evening.
