The weather in sunny Southern California is slowly getting cooler (color me surprised!!) and that means only one thing: it’s time for sweaters. In other parts of the country, people are dusting off their puffer coats and snow gloves but NOT here!! All you need is a cardigan and you’re ready to go.

This winter, I’m totally obsessed with thick, chunky grandpa sweaters like this Madewell Northern Lights Cardigan pictured above. Not only does it look really comfy, but it will definitely keep you warm in our mid-60s weather. Paired with a tee, skinny jeans, and a pair of boots, this cardigan will fit perfectly in any winter wardrobe. If you’re really feeling the recession and can’t afford to buy a new chunky sweater, maybe take a looksie around your grandpa’s closet and you’ll find something totally perfect for this winter?? You just know he has one. Here’s hoping…
