Current Love: Fuzzy Sweaters

Hi there! A recent obsession of mine has been fuzzy sweaters. There's just something so captivating about them and how you can get a feel for the identity of a garment just by running your hand over it, if you catch my drift. Isn't it just lovely when a garment has the capability to tell a story? I sure think so.

I realise that I'm a few months late on the fuzzy bandwagon because Who What Wear wrote about back in mid-October, but to me, it's so much more of a winter thing than a fall thing, you know? It's the same as how snuggling up on the couch by the fireplace with hot chocolate sounds better in December than October. Just saying.

I got my first fuzzy sweater a few weeks ago right after Christmas on Boxing Day. My mom legitimately thought I was insane for wanting to get it, but it's kind of hard to resist when I was in the moment and it's pretty much only $10 if I decided to get another sale item under $20. It's the softest thing in own and an absolute dream to wear. I feel like the Cookie Monster in it, which isn't a bad thing at all, haha. The only thing is that it's similar to wearing a carpet (or maybe that's just H&M), so I found that little random things just clung to it like a rug would. It was a bit odd, for sure, but I have nothing else bad to say about these lovely things.

If you're looking for a few affordable-ish fuzzy options, Forever 21 ($25) has a cream one and Aeropostale has a grey one ($35). If you don't mind spending a bit of cash, Urban Outfitters is always a great place to look ($69) and so is H&M with a mohair one that looks absolutely amazing (but the price tag isn't at $70).

Do you own any fuzzy items in your closet? What else would you like to get? Are you a fan of the trend?What are your favourite textures? Leave your thoughts and comments below!
