The Perfect Fall Sweater

I have a lot of sweaters. I live in Michigan and it is cold what seems like all of the time except for a few weeks in the summer. Even some of those weeks I can wear light-weight sweaters. When I look for pieces, I like to look for things that have a personality. Maybe it is a pretty detail like lace or stitching or maybe it is a ruffle or a button. Something to make it special and stand out. 

I found this sweater recently on a trip a couple of weeks ago to the LOFT store in Ann Arbor. I love this store for many reasons. One of them is the great customer service that I have received there including from my new friend, Zsa Zsa Bleau, who I met on Instagram. I also happen to love the way the store is laid out and the way that the staff helps to style items for you if you are at a loss for ideas. 

She happened to be working the day I went in and I might mention there also happened to be a 50% off sale that day as well. She pointed out the sweater to me and said she thought I might like it. Like it? I love it! This is the perfect fall sweater! I love the weight of the sweater as well as the unique toggles and pockets in the front. The beautiful gray color is a bonus! I see myself wearing this sweater a lot this season and for many years to come! 

Here are a few pictures of me in the sweater. I paired some dark hunter green jeans from TJ Maxx with it as well as a plaid shirt from JCrew Factory. I am wearing my favorite boots from DSW and carrying my black Phillip Lim for Target bag. For the jewelry, I went with my pearls from JCrew Factory, a ring from Lia Sophia, and a bracelet from Target. 




Here is a picture of my friend, ZsaZsa Bleau, wearing the sweater her way. Isn't she fun?! 


The sweater is currently available online at www.loft.com as well as in stores. 


How else would you wear this sweater? Do you have a favorite sweater or item of clothing that you love? 

Thanks for reading and following along with me!

      Thank you, Meghan! I've already worn it a couple of different ways since I bought it. Probably my favorite sweater purchase so far this year. Thanks for checking out my blog!

Sunday Style: Green

Image
Green is my favorite color. I think it brings out the color in my eyes and it looks great with my skin tone.There's lots of sayings with green in them too. Give the green light. Green thumb. Going green. (Make no mistake- I didn't say Go Green- that's for all you Spartan fans out there). Green around the gills. Green with envy- well, don't be green with envy but I am sitting here in sunny Florida enjoying the warm weather and time with family and friends... This green dress has been hanging in my closet for a while but this was the first time that I got it out. I scored it on a major sale but just haven't had a chance to wear it. I always say why wait for a special occasion?  What I love most about this dress is the neckline. I tell you all the time that it's hard for me to wear a straight skirt or dress and this is no exception. I like the look of it but I do think I'll spend a few more dollars and have it tailored a little more. I paired nude pumps...

Sunday Style: JJ’s House

Image
It’s been said in various ways that clothes don’t make the person, the person makes the clothes. I believe this to be exceptionally true in this beautiful dress that I am wearing in today’s post! This dress literally made me wish that I was heading out to the opera or a benefit dinner. I love that I get to wear and model a lot of clothes and some just feel more special than others. This dress was custom made for me so I got all the feels while I was zipping it up and looking in the mirror. It fits like a glove and I could not be more in love with it!  Let’s talk about  JJ’s House  for a minute. They have all sorts of dresses for special occasions, including bridal wear! I picked out a dress and did my measurements and sent them in with my order. They even called me once to make sure that my measurements were correct so they made sure to make the dress correctly!  This  dress  has gorgeous nude tulle with a black lace overlay. I literally felt like a princes...
