Before I get into what it is like living in Dallas, I wanted to quickly share about this colorblock sweater that I am OBSESSED with from Walmart! It comes in lots of color options, is super soft, and can be worn with leggings, so win-win! And, it is only $11. I have on size S for reference. They have tons of affordable pieces you can mix and match with.

I am wearing it with some faux leather leggings and some black suede boots.
