'Tis The Season to Guiltlessly Wear Hideous Sweaters...

This past Saturday night the gorgeous and talented Stefania of Toronto TextStyles threw what I believe to be one of the more ingenious holiday theme parties ever: The Ugly Seasonal Sweater Party! Not only was the party in and of itself a blast, but some of the sweaters that came through the door were truly mind-boggling in their deliciously inelegant goodness.

As a former figure skater I consider my attraction to all things sequined, beaded and/or generally ostentatious to be entirely justifiable, hence the wonderful monstrosity of a cardigan that I wound up in...
...And yes, I am drinking wine out of a coffee mug. Because I keep it classy like that.

This photo credit is of course given to the lovely and talented Stefania! I cannot even express how much I recommend that you click here to check out her blog, which everyone who's anyone knows is totally the best new Toronto street style site on the block. Happy Monday everyone!
