[cheap thrill] Tarnish slouchy knit hat

     slouchy knit hat // Tarnish // $24

I was hesitant to post this cheap thrill, simply because I just don't think this photo from Nordstrom does the hat justice. In the end, though, I gave in, because people, this hat is just too good not to share. It's soft, it's slouchy, it comes in a bunch of practical colors (black, taupe, and grey) as well as a bunch of fun colors (bright blue, teal, and pink), and it's only $24. Buy it.

cold weather wishlist item #1: the wrap coat

     the serious splurge

     hooded colorblock wrap coat // Vince // $750

     a more plausible option (actually, two)

     wool wrap coat in black // Zara // $169

     hooded wool wrap coat in grey + tan // Zara // $139
