Showing posts with label sweaters
Last week I tackled my favorite shoes, but this week it's all about the sweaters. I don't think I wear anything BUT sweaters in the fall & winter. I don't have any regular shirts besides sweaters and graphic sweatshirts (that's another post for another day). I love how they feel and how they look; sweaters can be dressed up or dressed down, worn with heels, flats, or riding boots.

They're so versatile and so comfortable, and that's what I want in my wardrobe.

I don't shop at a lot of different stores. I stick to what I like and what I know, but this year I ventured outside of brands but got most of them at Nordstrom, my favorite retailer.

I've worn all my sweaters at this point, at least once, and I definitely have my favorites. Therefore, I wanted to share them all with you!

These are my favorite sweaters as of late, and it's no surprise that they're all from J.Crew Factory! I am truly obsessed with the store, and thankful that they're always having sales & that I have a credit card. You can get anything and everything from J.Crew and it never disappoints.

I do have a lot of other sweaters that I rotate through, but they aren't available online anymore.

Here are a few similar ones:

What is your favorite store for fall sweaters?
So I think the title of this blog post is a little misleading. I'm talking about my favorites for fall fashion but it's mostly sweaters.

Sweaters are my favorite item of clothing, especially during the fall. I think they are the most versatile piece of clothing you can keep in your closet. You can dress them up with heels, dress pants, and a chunky statement necklace or you can dress it down with leggings and UGG slippers.

Please, give me all the sweaters!

Sweaters are a staple for me at work -- I have a uniform during the winter and that is black or navy blue jeans/jeggings, a sweater, statement necklace, riding boots or ankle boots.

Because of the previous statements, most of my wish list consists of sweaters. Sorry if that's not your thing but there are so many pretty clothes to share!


There are a few jackets, vests, and jeans included in this slideshow but honestly, I think I'm set for jeans. I bought a few pairs at American Eagle over the past few weeks and I'm obsessed. You can find those items here, here, & here.

I think a few, really good pairs of pants should be the first priority, then you can just switch out tops to have a complete wardrobe. Grab a good pair of neutral riding boots, ankle booties, flats, a good classic neutral handbag and you are good to go!

My number one places to shop for any sort of wardrobe are American Eagle Outfitters & J.Crew Factory -- similar enough to be cohesive in one closet but different enough that not everything is the same.




What are your fall fashion staples?


December went incredibly fast...way too fast for my liking. I so enjoy the Christmas season. My favorite thing to do this month was light a candle, turn on a Christmas movie, light the Christmas tree, and sit on the couch for the entire night.

There was nothing more relaxing.

I needed all the relaxation I could get this month...my personal life was a mess and I felt as if I was spiraling out of control. I just couldn't get a grip on anything and it was incredibly frustrating.

I got past it, with the help of the holidays and satisfying my sweet tooth. I'm in a much better place now and ready to really get my shit together.

I was really sad to see the Christmas season go...we took down my Christmas tree and there's no more red cups at Starbucks and life is just not as fun without Christmas.

Anyways...I had so many favorite things this month (most of them beauty products) and I tried out so many new beauty products so those reviews will be up and coming soon.

For now, here's some favorites.



NYX Wonder Pencil: I saw this in an article online and went out to the drugstore that day and found the last one at my CVS. I have the shade 'medium' and it's basically a 'do everything' pencil. The packaging says you could use it as an eye brightener or neutral lip liner but I've only used it on my eyes. I put it in my water line every day, even on days I don't wear makeup, just to widen and brighten my eyes, making me appear more awake.

Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara by Tarte: I'm not a huge mascara buff; I'm not too picky when it comes to any makeup aside from concealer so I switch it up a lot. I got this baby in the Bon Voyage Collectors set and I haven't been using anything else. It's a skinny wand, not too wet of a formula, and makes my lashes really long and separates them. It's a great everyday mascara and I've been addicted.

Sweaters: This is such a random favorite but I'm obsessed with sweaters. I live for the fall and winter seasons so it's rare that I'll be in anything but a sweater. I love my J.Crew sweaters for standard wear and dressing them up with a statement necklace or scarf. My favorite though, has been my oversized American Eagle cardigan. Talk about comfortable. Ugh, it's heaven!

Clarisonic: I feel like this should be a January favorite because I got this bad boy for Christmas and only have been using it for two weeks but I can't get enough. I'll do an entire post at the end of the month about it but I've never known how much I needed this. My skin is singing praises since I started using it!

Aerie Waffle Sleep Leggings: Another random favorite from Christmas...I got these pajama pants from my mom and really haven't been wearing anything else. They're super comfortable and stretchy but cinch at the ankle like leggings. They're just as the name says, legging pajamas and my mom thought they'd be uncomfortable but it's the total opposite. I love sleeping and lounging in these because I don't feel like I'm wearing pajamas. Give me more pairs!

Californication: I feel as if I always have a TV favorite but this was the show of the month. I watched 7 seasons within a week and a half and already started rewatching it because I missed it so much. It's super easy to go through but dear lord, it's inappropriate. Sex, drugs, nudity...but the story is incredible. I'm addicted and it's definitely one of my top 5 shows of all time!

I have so much fun stuff planned for January and the rest of the year so stay tuned :) 

What was your favorites in the month of December?




It's no secret that I am in love with the two brands, Lilly Pulitzer and J.Crew. I love everything about these two companies from their styles, their products, and the way they brand themselves. To me, they are nothing short of perfection. 

They also go great hand in hand.

I've definitely grown a stronger appreciation for fashion in the past few months and the fact that Fall is finally upon us has me jumping out of my skin. I've actually worn jeans and cardigans all week and I could not be any happier.

The fall collections from both Lilly and J.Crew are fabulous and if I had an unlimited amount of money, it would be my complete wardrobe.

Here are some of my favorite pieces:






What are your favorite brands showing this fall?


I am flat broke. My bank account is at an all time low and it's stressing me out but it is not defeating my spirit because I am still pining for a bunch of stuff that I would be buying if my account was full.

Anything from key chains to notebooks to sweaters, I just want everything! Good thing my birthday and Christmas are coming up, otherwise I'd be in a deep shopping depression.
