When? December 4, 2012
What for? For a more casual day at work with wrapping up projects non-stop (aka “getting it done, y’all”). And I know critter-embellished tees and sweaters are all the rage in the style blogosphere right now (see here and here), but I don’t give a hoot!
With an owl as cute as this one, how can you resist? I certainly couldn’t. Armed with a gift card for Old Navy, I was determined to pick up slouchy winter hats. Told my husband the plan and everything to keep me on track. And then promptly let out a big squeeeeee when I spied these owl sweaters. And just like that, this oh-so-adorable owl found a loving home in my closet. (I may or may not have already given the owl a nickname. That nickname may or may not be Gertie. Just so you know. Or not.)

Thanks, Fringe Girl!
I LOVE your sweater! I love owls. Looks adorable!! If I owned something like that I’d wear it every day
Gertie makes me smile, too!
Oh I love this! I got an owl sweater for my birthday that’s a little different from this one, but is the basic idea. I can’t get enough owl stuff, so I love this trend right now!
I love that since I live in Portland(ia), I gotta put a bird on it, right?! And such a cute way to go about it.
Love the sweater! It’s so cute paired with gingham.
Thanks so much, Anne! I thought about pairing it with my orange gingham shirt but decided to color-coordinate instead.
I really like how the blue in the owl picks up the blue in the gingham! I haven’t been a huge fan of the animal sweaters but your outfit is so cute and preppy it might make me change my mind!
Ahhh, that’s the word I was trying to think of, “preppy”! Thanks, Erin!
love that sweater! I bought it this week too – have yet to wear it! Looks adorable!
Yay for Old Navy! This owl sweater was right next to that cute fox sweater, which is also sold out online.
cute sweater!
Thanks Margaret
I definitely feel the pressure to get a critter sweater right now!
I wasn’t feeling the pressure until I found the *right* critter for me. I am sure there is a right critter for you!
Ha ha ha, cute post, and ADORABLE sweater! You look so cute!

Hi Alison and thanks for stopping by! Yay for owls!
so sweet and I love it paired with the pearls too. Thanks for joining up with Wardrobe Wednesday again
Thanks! The pearls were a last-minute addition, but I loved them. A preppy but quirky touch.
