This is my “pizza sweater.” Go ahead…scroll up, zoom in, and try to figure out why the hell I’m calling this a pizza sweater. Give up? Good, you should, because you won’t guess.

In September when I went to the beach with my family and we got evacuated for the second year in a row (true story), I went back inland and stayed with my sister in Durham. We hung out, went to museums and restaurants, watched movies, drank wine, and watched her dogs chase each other around. Still a pretty good vacation if you ask me.

One of those days in Durham, it was super rainy because we were still on the outskirts of the hurricane. Rather than go out to dinner, we thought it would be nice to stay in and eat frozen pizzas. We went to Target to procure said pizzas, and in the process got pretty soaked. When we got blasted with the A/C in Target, we were freezing. Target in all of its evil magic somehow knew this would happen, and presented us with a table of cute, soft sweaters for $20. One of them was this leopard sweater, which I promptly purchased and will forever call my “pizza sweater.”

Long skirts with boots are my new jam. It’s genius really – your legs are totally hidden so you can have all the layers you want underneath (or none).

My other new jam, as you know, is being a more conscious consumer. So let me tell you what’s sustainable, eco-friendly, etc., about this outfit: The sweater is from Everlane, one of my favorite affordable sustainable brands. The sunglasses I bought second-hand on Poshmark. The boots I’ve had for several years and as long as I treat them well, they should last many more. The skirt is new and fast-fashion, BUT it is wearable year-round and it should hold up well over time. See, I’m doing the things, and it’s not that hard! YAY. Go me. *pats self on back*
