i'm an avid reader, and i try to read books that span all genres: memoirs, realistic fiction, mysteries, thrillers, historical fiction and classics. there's nothing more satisfying than a good plotline and quality prose, so i thought i'd build my personal reading list. here are some of my favorites that i repeatedly come back to. i think these are must-reads, and i'd love to hear any other title or author recommendations in the comments!

sweaters are one of my favorite pieces to wear: they’re cold weather outfit staples, and a good one should last for years. finding knitwear that feels timeless, fits your style, and works with the rest of your wardrobe can be surprisingly difficult, though, especially with so many fabrics, brands, and price points to choose from. personally, i think sweaters make great gifts during the holiday season: i'm buying for both myself and others! i've rounded up some of my favorite women's sweaters for fall and winter, including turtlenecks, cardigans, everyday crewnecks, half-zips, and sweater vests. these are pieces that will never go out of style. for more sweater inspo, you can explore the 'sweaters' section of my shopmy: shopmy.us/shop/sophiascloset 🍂 link in my bio!
