With the temps steadily dropping, the one thing I want to do is snuggle up in a good sweater. And what defines a “good” sweater? For me it’s oversized and super soft. And I surprisingly find a lot of these “good” sweaters in the men’s department. Yup, I shop the men’s section for sweaters and button downs.

And that’s why I’m collaborating with Goodwill for a fashion event called Ready, Set, Thrift! and if you’re in the New York City area, you’re invited.
