Hello January!
Cape: AA
Shirt: AA
Belt: AA
Jeans: Madewell
Sicks: J.Crew ($6)
Shoes: Buffalo Exchange ($40)
Winter is back. After a couple days over the weekend that were a balmy 50 degrees, it has been freezing the past two days. Sweater weather! Amber from Bluesville, USA kindly sent me this cute icelandic sweater recently and it's so warm! As much as I love dressing in cold weather, I find myself avoiding the most basic things like sweaters and boots for some reason, but they're so warm and so practical, I was instantly cozy when I put it on. Still no boots though, instead I added socks to some summer platforms. I really like the mix of grey with brown or tan. Many of you asked me which cut my Madewell jeans are, and I've linked to them above.
Thank you all for the kind New Years wishes and comments, I loved hearing what your resolutions are! I can't believe it's 2011, the last few years have flown by so fast! A lot of people say that January is the most depressing month, but I disagree (I think it's February), my birthday is this month! I'll be 27 on the 27th this year and instead of hiding from my birthday like I usually do, or down playing it like I do when people find out, I've decided to CELEBRATE and actually allow myself to be excited about it.
Are we friends on Facebook yet? Twitter? Bloglovin'?

This looks so seventies. The hat and cape are gorgeous together, and I love your jumper with the heels/socks combo x

even though i turned the dreaded 3-0 last year, i still celebrate my birthday! it's the most fun day of the year :) and i totally love that sweater. and your cape is just dreamy.
happy to hear you are going to celebrate your birth properly this year. my mother believed the year you turned the age of your birthdate was your "champagne birthday" and appropriate beverages should be consumed. :)
i always hid on my birthday each year too until i turned 30 and decided to throw a big bbq/party. so glad i did. truly a great day!
That sweater looks so warm! Love the little sheep on it too...and that hat is so lovely!
Last year I celebrated turning 22 on the 22nd, but didn't do anything too exciting.
my God...what a beautiful hair you've got !!!
Lovely outfit ! we are friends !!! :)
dying over the cuteness of that sweater! im a sucker for animal prints on clothes. paired with that cape?! MAGIC!
Love this look, and I love the fact that you're screaming your birthday happiness from the rooftops! Metaphorically speaking, of course. I will be 27 this year as well, and while it seems as though the last few years have flown by, maybe I should follow your lead and celebrate.
How cute is this sweater? Wonderful outfit! Love your cape and shoes.
of course you have to CELEBRATE! it's your magic birthday AND you're gettin' married this year! yay!
i LOVE your sweater -- my mom started a lamb collection for me when i was little!
Aw the jumper is adorable! xxx
This whole outfit is the cutest! I especially love the jumper, reminds me of all our little woolen friends here! The colours you have used aswell are just so perfect. You have the best eye.

Love the shoes and socks.
I really love that sweater! And I've always loved January, maybe because of where I live it stays pretty warm.
Shopping and Spreadsheets

ps, amandamantes.blogspot.com !
You look so cozy and I absolutely love your shoes!
my favorite part about the entire outfit must be the sheep on the sweater. <3
You look so amazing in this outfit. I love the little sheep on the sweater. I wonder why people say January is the most depressing month. I love it. It's the calm after the storm of the holiday season. Plus it's my birthday month too. I'm not quite keen on turning 26, but I guess I don't have a choice in the matter;) lol.
I love your sweater! The little sheep are very cute. It would be great layered over a dress with some over the knee socks.

awesome! it's your golden birthday year!! you should celebrate! my birthday is also this month (the 14th) and it's my 30th. eee! so i agree, february is the depressing month. awesome sweater by the way! i too love brown & grey together. there's just something about it...
This is a great oufit, I wouldn't have thought to belt that sweater! I'm still struggling to find my perfect skinny jeans though, total jeans envy.
That little sheep sweater is beyond cute! I love how you gave it some edge with the rest of the outfit.
And you should be excited for your birthday! I swear it's only gotten better the farther away from my 20s I get. :D
XOXO

You are really good at creating outfits that I just swoon over forever. Seriously I don't think I have ever seen an outfit of yours that I didn't like. My heart is especially skipping beats over this one. That cape and that sweater belong together and I love the way the hat pulls everything together so well.
You look absolutely lovely my darling.

Much love this season xxx
Such an amazing look, and that sweater is gorgeous! Love that you aren't wearing boots, makes me want to be more adventureous with my shoe choices..
You called it! That picture was taken in Portland. Awesome town, I dig it. :)
I just love it when you do seventies-inspired looks! These photos could easily be an album cover for Joni Mitchell or Carly Simon. Your sweater looks so cozy... Icelandic knits are ideal for New England weather! I'm wearing TWO sweaters today!
T.S. Eliot wrote that "April is the cruellest month," but I agree with you... it's definitely February. So dark, so gloomy, and still so far from spring... March can be pretty icky too. I can't wait for April!
That sweater is so awesome it hurts my soul. Those sheep! Too cute. Love how you belted the sweater and paired w the cape.
And happy early birthday! Good call on celebrating!
I love this outfit - that sweater is perfect, and is styled just right.
Icelandic sweaters rule!
