This sweater makes you want to go on a ski holiday NOW

My friends Rosanne and Valerie from Ou Boutique have an extremely large talent: they always manage to design something that you immediately want. Because it makes you happy and a piece of clothing instantly brings you to a feeling and experience. For the upcoming cold days, they have created a fresh winter white drop intended for Days in the Snow and Nights in Chill. Enjoy skiing and then playing Hitster or backgammon for hours in a comfy outfit while sipping on a hot Apérol.

I shopped with my daughter at their boutique in the Nine Streets, saw the Love for Après Ski sweater (delightfully long, Lululemon leggings underneath and you're all set with your outfit), and it was a matter of looking at each other, nodding, and walking to the checkout. Do you know that feeling when you see something that you suddenly can't live without? That your life just feels a little less complete without that piece of clothing? I felt that when I saw their Hotel Hiver room service outfit in beautiful whipped cream color with burgundy embroidery and – I love that – a subtle pocket on the back. When Rosanne sent me a photo of herself in that outfit with a long coat over it and a boot, showing that you can also wear it perfectly ‘outside’ and ‘during the day’, I was completely sold. And I didn't even know yet that it has such a beautiful seam on the side and is very soft inside.

You just suddenly have no spring desire anymore. Although Roos and Val probably have something else enticing in store for us.
