stocking up on fall basics!

I recently went on a little shopping spree to stock up on some fall basics... and I found this sweater on sale at J.Crew for only $30!

They didn't have it in my size, so I almost didn't buy it... I tried it on, and then left it, and went to go make all my other purchases, but came back to J. Crew to get a fun pink headband and thought the sweater deserved one more chance.  I tried it on, fell in love with it--I think even more, because it is so big and cozy, and now I'm actually excited that the temperatures have started to cool down a little so I can wear it.  The boyfriend and I took his son to the park this afternoon, and it was the perfect cozy sweater for enjoying the beginning of fall outside!

I can't believe I'm actually excited about the cooler weather--I normally LOVE summer and dread it cooling down, but I'm ready for fall weather!  However, if we could just skip winter, I would be thrilled about that!
