Happy Wednesday! Can you believe Thanksgiving is next week?? I feel like it was just New Year’s! And yet at the same time, the start of quarantine was forever ago.. this year is so crazy!

Plot twist for today’s outfit – it has color! Lol I’ve definitely been gravitating towards neutral tones this season, but I saw this sweater in store and thought it was so pretty. It’s emerald green which I thought would transition well into winter. It’s also super soft (I say that so often but it’s true) and a great layering piece. My pants are stone-gray and they look as if they have an acid wash! I thought it was so different and love how it can also be paired with multiple colors. The sweater and pants together are so comfy and make for a nice casual day. Since it’s on the casual side, I paired them with these platform sneakers. I’ve been wanting to get platform sneakers for a little while now and just got this pair in! I haven’t worn them enough to give an opinion, but I will soon.

Thank you for reading along today! I’ll see you Friday 🙂

Happy Monday! I hope you had a restful weekend and a great start to the new week 🙂

Today’s outfit is a ruffle neck sweater and acid wash straight leg jeans. I’ve shared this ruffle neck sweater before — it’s my favorite! I love how girly it is, and the ruffles are structured even after washing the sweater multiple times. I’ve paired it with this shirt jacket from H+M. It’s oversized and comes in multiple colors/patterns! I really like how big it is because it makes it easy to layer different pieces underneath. I would recommend ordering one size down if you’re shorter than 5’5″. This jacket is pretty thick and it has snap buttons, so it’s really easy to button up on the go! My jeans are from Zara and I’ve linked them separately. I also linked a similar pair with the other LiketoKnow.it items, but if you are interested in getting the Zara pair, I recommend sizing up one size! Their jean sizes tend to run small.

That’s it for today! Until Wednesday

Hey friends and happy Wednesday!

Today’s look is a gray midi sweater dress with a grid scarf to give a little contrast. I’ve paired them with ankle booties and one of my favorite Kate Spade purses 🙂 The main feature of this look is the sweater dress from Target. It’s soo soft and comfortable! I wore this dress for my travel day to Boston, and it was so nice to wear all day. I was super comfortable with the length of it (I didn’t have to worry about it riding up while sitting down all day) and I stayed warm the whole day too! I’ve also washed it once, let it air dry, and it’s just as soft as the day I bought it. I like how flattering it is too – it shows your curves but doesn’t cling to your body like most sweater dresses do.

I paired the dress and scarf together because I like how the gray color of the sweater dress accentuates the grid pattern of the scarf! This scarf is from Amazon. It’s thin and lightweight, but it has enough material to keep your neck warm on chilly days.

The booties I’m wearing are from TJ Maxx last year, but I found similar ones and liked them above.

Thank you for stopping by today! I’m hoping to be back Friday so stay tuned 🙂
