First off, if you’re wondering why this is titled “candy cane,” read this.

Ok, now that that’s out of the way…

I wore this to work on Friday of the week before Christmas.  It was pretty cold that day, and I just wanted to be warm so I knew I wanted to wear a wool sweater—and this one is a favorite.  I liked the way this outfit turned out, even though it is admittedly a little crazy for my office.  (Bright color paired with a bold pattern AND textured tights?  Unheard of!)  I only saw one coworker the whole day, and I think he was less than impressed.  This definitely isn’t something I’d wear to a client meeting or major work event, but it worked for a day spent holed up in my office.
