If I could wear this outfit all the time, I would. It’s one of those outfits that just feels like me. My best friend gave me this sweater for Christmas and I love it. It’s very soft and I think this baby pink color is so pretty. I mentioned last week that I made many a trip to Target while I was home. One of the things I picked up there was this quilted skirt. I first saw it on Hallie’s blog and I had to have it. I took a cue from Hallie and also paired it with a cute sweater and tights for a cozy winter look.
Did you guys watch the Superbowl yesterday? I’m not a huge football fan, but I do love any occasion that calls for a themed party. I whipped up a few treats/snacks and then headed over my friend’s apartment to watch the game. They’re big Seahawks fans, so I ended up rooting for them too!

![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?

You look beautiful! What a cozy, fun winter outfit. Aren’t gifts from best friends the best!? They know to make a girl smile wide! I hope you had an amazing trip back home. I didn’t watch much of the Superbowl, although I did hear plenty of commotion from my dad and brothers downstairs to figure out what was going on. Bruno Mars though, he nailed the performance. So much energy! Have a wonderful day, Nnenna!
You’re so kind- thank you Akshara! You know, I’m not a huge Bruno Mars fan, but I will say that he did well during the Superbowl. Better than expected, I think. Hope you are having a great week too!
I love this look, Nnenna!! That sweater is so pretty – it is the perfect shade of pink and looks so so comfy!! Also, that necklace is absolutely gorgeous – what a beautiful gift! Have such a wonderful Monday, my dear!!! xoxo
Thank you so much Jessica! My godmother gave me that necklace on my 16th birthday so it’s very special to me :)
Blush and black make such a lovely color combination and you look so chic and cozy in this outfit Nnenna!

Thank you Rowena!
Oh my goodness! This is the cutest outfit ever :) love it!
Thank you Rachel! :)
Cute outfit! Seems put together but easy :)
I was for either team since my Giants were out but was not expecting such a blow out!
Thanks Kim! I know almost nothing about football, but I didn’t think the Seahawks were going dominate so hard either!
Isn’t Target the best? I’m there at least once a week. I love the pink sweater, I could definitely use more shades of pink in my closet.

I love Target- one of my biggest laments is that there isn’t one closer to me. Although that’s actually a good thing for my bank account!
What a cute sweater! Love your nail polish too.
Thank you! :)
I’m not a big football fan, just a big buffalo wings/nachos fan. So as far as I’m concerned, if I have those things, it’s a great game.
Love the skirt too, the quilted things this season have been so temping!
Yes, as long as there are snacks, I’m happy! Thanks Lydia :)
It’s funny that you said you would wear this outfit all the time because this has basically been my winter uniform (i.e. cozy sweater, circle skirt or pleated skirt, tights, ankle boots). I’m not kidding that I just change out the colors but am basically wearing the same thing every day. Haha. Needless to say, I loooove your outfit. You look adorable and you have the best smile in town. :)
Love that this is your winter uniform :) I’ve been variations of this outfit, or my other uniform (oversized sweater + jeans + ankle boots). Thank you Mary- you’re the sweetest!
Love this outfit!! Absolute perfection! That sweater looks so cozy!
