A Piece for Every Season

I love a clothing item that I can use over and over again, all year long.  If I’m spending money on clothes, I like to get use out of them.  That is certainly the case with my Abercrombie and Fitch cardigan (similar to this style).  It’s the prettiest heathered pink and I have actually I’ve worn it during every New England season so far!
I bought this in late summer in preparation for the coming Fall weather.  I ended up wearing it on those late summer nights when the hottest day suddenly drops to the coolest evenings once the sun sets.  It is the perfect weight to keep me warm but not overheat, especially with cut-offs and a tank.  I packed this every time I ventured to Cape Cod for the weekend.   Here are some of the ways I styled this sweater in each season:

Summer:



This sweater is super cute layered over a a slouchy tee knotted at the waist and some cut offs.  My tee is from J.Crew and cut offs from Express a few years ago.  I also layered this over this patterned sundress (with pockets!) from Gap Factory and a cute pair of sandals as well as various floral dresses.  It's such a pretty look while still maintaining that casual feel that I lean toward.

Fall:



Layered over this delicate J.Crew cami (they have a similar scalloped cami at J.Crew Factory that would look cute as well), cuffed jeans and some booties.  Perfect for those not-too-warm/not-too-cold Boston Fall days.

Winter:



Similar look but paired with a scarf and long sleeve shirt for warmth.

Spring:



I love a monochromatic look under cardigans.  It really elongates that body and i need all the height I can get!  


How cute are these black and white striped Target flats?  I found them a couple of years ago and wear them all the time.  

I’ve worn this sweater at pop-up beer gardens, over floral sun dresses at showers, with ripped jeans and booties for Harvard Square coffees, and with scarves and uggs for those hellish Winter days!  

Funny enough, I thought I had sworn off Abercrombie after graduating college ____ years ago (ha!) but I’ve been perusing their site recently and have found such cute things!  I haven’t ventured into their jeans yet (I remember them running super small - do they still?)  but I’ve been purchasing a lot of their tops.  So cute and affordable!

Want to replicate this look?  Check out their easy open cardigan linked above and pair it with any camis, tees, skinny jeans or cut-offs you have!

Do you have any clothing pieces that carry you through every season?

It's All About Winter Comfort!

….And it snowed in Boston yesterday.  Just as I was trying to transition my closet to more Spring- themed outfits , BOOM snow.  But, that’s New England for ya.  I actually love living here and experiencing each season, it’s just that as each season nears the end, I’m SO ready for the new one to begin! When it does snow, I refuse to dress in anything but comfort.  You should have seen me on the days it snowed when I worked in a business casual (think no jeans) atmosphere.  Let’s just say I improvised...liberally!  All that to say, I wanted pure comfort but to also look cute while out and about with the kiddies.  I chose my go-to weekend lounge wear: black leggings.  Ahh, they are so versatile!  I paired them with a cute striped long-sleeved tee from J. Crew Factory for a pop of color and threw my favorite sweatshirt on over that.  I live for the layered look!  It’s a style you’ll see on me often! I threw on some rain b...

Stripes & Florals: the perfect Sunday outfit

I don't know about you, but I loathe wearing anything but leggings and sweats when I'm at home.  I don't even like lounging around in my jeans.  I want pure comfort but I also want to look cute so I was ecstatic when I realized that athleisure is a thing!  I've wanted a pair of joggers for awhile now, but I was worried about how they'd look if I ventured out of the house in a pair.  Would they be versatile enough to pair with anything other than a sweatshirt?  Would they look too pajama-like?  I waffled back and forth long enough that I ended up forgetting about buying a pair at all.  It was while I was perusing Pinterest, as I frequently do, I came across the cutest pair of striped joggers.  When I clicked over to the retailer, I had never heard of them and they were online only, so I was worried it wasn't a legit site.  However, after weeks of consistently coming across pins of these joggers and falling in love over and over again I decid...
