We’re planning a trip to the beach sometime this spring and I’m going to be wearing something like this (with leggings and sandals) while sitting on the deck watching the sun rise with a cup of coffee. Or…maybe I’ll just sleep in. :)
Old Navy Rib-Knit Crochet Sweater, $28 (from $35)
One of my favorite times of year to shop is right about…now. Many stores are marking down items I just can’t resist: scarves, coats, boots, sweaters. For example, I love the two items above on sale from Madewell. I’d wear both all the time! Well, until spring at least.
Madewell Fair Isle Scarf, $30 (from $68)
Madewell Striped Ex-Boyfriend Sweater, $35 (from $75)
I love this sweater. I see myself wearing it with distressed jeans, wedge boots, a trench and maybe a cute scarf.
There’s a few things I’ll always make a beeline for in a store: 1) leopard print, 2) trench coats and 3) elbow patches.
- Delias Elbow Patch Sweater, $15 (from $30)
- Forever21 Sweater, $13.50
- Lands’ End Canvas Wool Hunting Jacket, $65 (from $130)
- Need Supply Co. Academia Cardigan, $64
- ASOS Heart Elbow Patch Sweater, $64
The name of this sweater has “cake” in it, so I already like it. Besides that, the colors are on-trend and I love the wide stripes. This would even be cute in a business casual environment with a black blazer and straight-leg trousers. Wear it on the weekend with jeans, ankle boots and long, dangly earrings.
Cooperative Layered Cake Pullover Sweater, $29 (from $59)
The only thing that’s kept me from clicking purchase on this sweater thus far is the fact that it won’t fit me. Pregnancy = curbing an unhealthy shopping habit since 2011.

Get in the holiday spirit with this adorable reindeer sweater. I’d wear it with an oversized scarf, leather jacket and cargo skinny pants.

Sparkle + stripes + J.Crew - it’s basically a street style wet dream in sweater form. Wear now with skinny wool trousers and in the spring with a pencil skirt.

This morning when I woke up I glanced outside and decided that it looked like a fair isle sweater kind of day. It’s chilly, windy, overcast and really starting to look like winter over here. If you’re wondering how to wear this distinctive pattern, try pairing a fair isle sweater with skinny black pants and a motorcycle jacket for a cute dressy/casual combo.
