Earlier this week we saw a severe dip in temperature from the 80s to 50s — literally overnight. Fall is finally here! :-D In celebration of our sweater weather, I present to you 9 famous sweaters from pop culture. Enjoy! Via Bit Rebels. P.S. — As much as I am grateful for the cool, crisp breeze and the start of my favorite season — I even had a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte yesterday to celebrate — I can't help but be a bit concerned that I only have three pairs of maternity pants, all of which are loungewear.
