Fashion :: Sweater Weather

Alice + Olivia Bow Embellished Sweater // Tory Burch Peplum Sweater // Tory Burch Metallic Sweater // Duffy Two-Tone Cashmere Sweater // Gap Cable Sweater // Saint James Stripe Sweater // Tibi Leopard Color-Block Sweater // JCrew Asymmetrical Zip Color-Block Sweater // Duffy Cashmere Sweater // JCrew Wool Pocket Tunic // Topshop Lace Hem Cropped Sweater // JCrew Shirttail Sweater // Equipment Cashmere Sweater // Zara Sweater with Faux Leather Sleeves

Is it possible to have too many sweaters?  Personally I can never have enough as I essentially live in them from October through March.  They are a staple that can easily be dressed up or down.  Plus, I feel like the majority are classic pieces that never go out of style - some of my favorite sweaters are five + years old.  There are a lot of sweaters that have caught my eye this season, but I have rounded up fourteen of my favorites including this adorable bow sweater, this Tibi leopard print sweater {SUCH A STEAL!}, and this cable knit sweater which has me dreaming about cozying up by the fire with a book.  I don't know about you, but I'm ready for sweater weather!

Well hello there!  Before I get to today's post I wanted to sincerely thank each and every one of you for the beyond kind messages and advice you gave me yesterday.  I truly missed the blogging community and couldn't wipe the smile off my face all day as I continued to receive such sweet & thoughtful comments.  I've said it before but I'll say it again -- you guys are amazing and are the reason I want to keep up with this little blog.  From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

Although it took me awhile, I am now completely on-board with pre-fall fashion.  Before this week I couldn't even bare to think about cooler weather {thus totally passing on the Nordstrom Anniversary sale...fail}, but one cool day has gotten me very excited about bringing back layers, jewel tones, and luscious silks and cashmeres.  What is it about seasons that perpetually have us looking forward to the next?  However, as much as I love this leather, wool, and shearling bag and am excited to finally try a merlot lip, after the brutal winter we had this past year summer can stay as long as she wants in my book!

Ryan and I are talking about taking a big trip near the end of the year {more on that later}, so subsequently I am in hardcore saving mode. While I would always choose travel over material items {because I truly believe the mantra that "travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer"}, sometimes I feel the need for a little wardrobe refresh. So, I have pulled together a bunch of my favorite pieces all under $100 including this gorgeous marble-print dress that looks like it could easily cost 5x more than it is, this fun pouch that reminds me of our trip to Hawaii, and this Equipment top {a whopping 65% off}. Now I can save for our trip and pick up a few new goodies for spring!

Fashion :: Neutrals

Equipment Washed Silk Top // Scalloped Mini Bag // BaubleBar Crystal Shard Pendant Necklace // JCrew Silk Shantung Cropped Pant //  JCrew Merino Lattice-Sleeve Sweater // Lemon Embroidered Straw Fedora // Rachel Gunnard Studs // Joie A la Plage Sandals // Diane von Furstenberg Blazer // Zoe Karssen Merci T-Shirt // Loeffler Randall Buckle Sandal // Ban.do Bobby Pin Set // JCrew Linen City Mini // Gucci Soho Small Patent Leather Bag // Deborah Lippman Nail Lacquer 'Before He Cheats' // Kate Spade Cedar Street Maise Bag // Elizabeth Cole Aeryn Earrings // Bobbi Brown Eyeshadow Palette 'Nude Glow' //  JCrew Swiss Dot Tuxedo Shirt

As much as I love color, I have to admit there is something about pale neutrals that feel so breezy and effortless.  These pieces all have that easy elegance that will make you reach for them again and again on those days where you feel like you 'just don't have anything to wear.'  My favorite neutral is a light ballerina blush, and this polish and this dress hit it spot-on.  I'm totally lusting over this adorable scalloped bag {less than $40!}, and on the opposite end of the spectrum, this patent leather Gucci bag.  Happy shopping!
