The Summer Sweater

I have long railed against short-sleeve sweaters.  I tend to sweat a lot and the last thing I want to wear during the hot, even sweatier, months of summer is a sweater.  Also, I figure if we have a day or two where it's chilly enough to wear a sweater, I probably don't want to wear a short sleeve sweater because, c'mon, what's the point?

Well, it turns out that the point is that they are adorable.

Seriously, I was in LOFT the other day for some tee shirts and I stumbled on this adorable, short-sleeved summer sweater:

Cute, right?  I love the color, a sort of denim blue and I love the subtle striped-ness of it.

I also love how it looks with my vintage skirt:

I am not sure why I don't wear this skirt more; it's really pretty delightful.  Just look at that print:

I think that, for some strange reason, I wasn't sure what to pair it with.  Which is ridiculous, because the answer is clearly "an adorable summer sweater":

Sweater: LOFT   Skirt: thrifted vintage   Sandals: Moorea Seal   Necklace: Lil Gypsy vintage

Well, "an adorable summer sweater, the best sandals ever and a vintage agate necklace," of course.

Happy Thursday, All!

Neutral Layers

As most of you know, I'm just not that into neutrals.  But, I love layers, texture and patterns which is why I think this outfit works for me:

The turtleneck  and boots add a bit of color, but otherwise, my outfit is dependent on layers, texture and patterns for interest.  The cream sweater has a non-standard stitch, the gray skirt is a diamond pattern and the gray tights are herringbone.

I even layered my necklaces:

So, yeah, even though this outfit is mainly neutrals, it still feels like me.

Happy Thursday, All!
