It’s finally sweater weather, so of course I’ll be sharing my favorite sweaters with all of you for the next few months. Today’s look is all about this affordable and adorable, shaggy sweater. For just $28 it’s the perfect piece to complete your fall / winter wardrobe. I’m obsessed with the shaggy details, the oversized fit, and the coziness of this look. Sweaters like this one truly are the easiest pieces for the colder days ahead. Throw it on, add your favorite denim and you’re ready to rock. It’s safe to say that I’ll be rockin’ this shaggy sweater all the time!
Off The Shoulder Sweater
SWEATER similar | PANTS | BOOTIES
There’s no denying how bold and beautiful this color is. Yes, it may be difficult to pull off, but it’s worth the risk. When I spotted this off the shoulder sweater, I knew it had to be mine. If you look back through my summer style, you know the off the shoulder trend was a favorite of mine. I’m not giving up on this style, even with much colder days ahead. This sweater is so comfortable and cozy, you can style it for work or for play. Today I’ve paired it with easy black staples: leggings and boots. You can also wear this sweater with jeans, and over the knee boots, or slides. It’s a versatile piece that you’ll want to wear all season long, trust me!

Cocoon Cardigan
CARDIGAN | TEE | SCARF similar | SHORTS similar | SHOES
This weekend was one for the books. I traveled home to Lexington to enjoy a few days with my girlfriends and family. I had also not been to the Summit yet, so of course shopping was our first venture. There was also tailgating, bar hopping and playing with my sweet nephews. Feeling blessed on this Monday.
At the Summit we found a few amazing little shops and restaurants and naturally snapped some pictures. This cocoon cardigan is literally one of the best pieces to own for fall. It’s so cozy, easy to wear and style, and perfectly casual. I styled it over a simple black tee, camo scarf and shorts. Since it’s still pretty warm out, the cocoon cardigan makes for a great layering piece in the mornings and at night. Topped off with a leopard flat, this look is weekend and weekday ready!

6 Ways To Wear Chunky Knits

CHUNKY KNIT | SCARF similar | DENIM | BOOTIES
When I think of chunky knits I think of ultimate, cozy style. Chunky knits are warm and comfortable, yet still very classic looking, and they’re all about layering and pairing wardrobe essentials to create a unique look every time. This look in particular is a favorite of mine, because it combines so many pieces I am beyond partial to. A slouchy, quilted sweater over a plain tee and an oversized plaid scarf are clear favorites when it comes to my closet. Not to mention, my favorite pair of cheap denim (I own about 5 pairs of these) make it easy to move and groove and not wear down by expensive jeans. Pull out your favorite chunky knit and take it for a spin with some of your other wardrobe favorites. You will surprised how cozy chic you look!
