sweater for summer

Sweater: J.Crew | Tank: J.Crew | Bottoms: J.Crew | Shoes: Marc Fisher | Sunglasses: Dolce & Gabbana (old), similar here | Bag: Kate Spade (old), similar here | Earrings: Nordstrom | Watch: Michele | Lips: MAC in Creme Cup

…

I recently grabbed this sweater from J.Crew in tan and I am so obsessed with it.  If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed that I have posted it a few different times and wear it all the time to work!  It’s the perfect sweater for summer.  I was recently out shopping and I saw this sweater in black.  And I knew I needed it in another color!

I always struggle with being cold and I wear this all the time at my office because it’s FREEZING.  But then I am always hot on my walks home from the train #firstworldproblems This sweater is lightweight and still breathable which makes it perfect for my situation!  And I love that it can be more casual for the weekends or dressed up at the office.  I can also picture myself wearing this with a white collared shirt once it cools down a little.  It is such a versatile sweater!

My closet doesn’t have a lot of black in it.  I know this may be a shock to everyone, but I just don’t really like black all that much.  I much rather prefer navy, browns, whites, etc.  You have so many more options to mix and match than you do when you have a closet full of black.  BUT I do have to say, as we start to transition into Fall, I start adding a little more black into my wardrobe.  So this sweater is perfect for this time of year!

What is your favorite sweater for summer?

    Oh, I was wondering where you lived for you to wear a sweater in the summer, but I totally understand your reasoning now hahaha if I didn’t have to carry all the heavy sweaters back to school, I would totally be shopping for fall right now >_<

      I am in Chicago, but am always chilly! We have a lot of wind which in my opinion always makes it seem more cold than it actually is. And I wear them all the time to the office because it’s freezing!! Good luck with school!

    Love this sweater! While it’s a little too hot here in Louisiana to wear sweaters in the summer, this would be perfect for our warm falls!

And so last week I ordered this @rhone set and it’s amazing.  Expect to see me in it every weekend moving forward 😂 It’s incredibly soft and I like the polo style sweatshirt that helps to elevate the outfit. Pair with sneakers and throw on a hat when you don’t feel like dealing with your hair.  An easy weekend outfit!

They are sleek, extremely comfortable, stylish and weather proof. The perfect boot!  Paired them with the new black denim I’m am really loving. A little stretch so they are super comfy.

You don’t need more clothes- you just need the rig You don’t need more clothes- you just need the right ones. A few weeks ago I shared 19 items to build a fall capsule wardrobe on my Substack and I own almost all of them. I’ve been wearing the items all season long, mixing and matching and restyling pieces to make them feel fresh and new. Here are 13 outfit ideas…. but endless possibilities.

The final room that finishes off our first floor- The final room that finishes off our first floor- our dining room!  I finally feel like our house is ‘done’- as done as it can be because I still have lots of ideas and projects I want to tackle. I love how our dining room finally came together from the @serenaandlily chairs I’ve had for years (that are incredibly durable) to the new @shopinslee artwork that finishes off the space. We eat in here every night as a family, we talk about our days, we color, we laugh, we entertain. I’ve mixed high (my chairs, chandelier and artwork) and low (curtains, lamps) and mixed in my grandmas blue and white china that I adore. After five years, I feel settled and love this special home! **when we moved in I never thought we would ever get to this point lol**

When I’m playing around with color, I like to stick to silhouettes I know work on my body and that I love to wear. A classic button down, a dark denim straight leg jean and a classic pair of Mary Jane flats. You can have a little fun…and still feel like yourself!

Sometimes I cheat on fashion with home decor and I Sometimes I cheat on fashion with home decor and I finally feel like my living room is complete.  And I absolutely adore every single detail of it. The light blue sofa to the oversized chair I love to curl up in with a cozy blanket, the antique chairs I got at an estate sale to the $$$ floral fabric I had to have- I wanted it on my antique chairs but had to compromise and get pretty pillows made instead. The details I stressed over for months.  It finally came together just like I envisioned in my head.  I get to live here and I couldn’t be more excited (and proud!) of what I created!

I’m going to live in these @margauxny boots all se I’m going to live in these @margauxny boots all season long!  They are truly my most favorite shoe brand ever. Classics that you want to pull out year after year but the craftsmanship is also superb. They are always my most comfortable shoes, and that’s the main reason I’m such a big fan of the brand.  The new Wells Boot is sleek, lightweight and most importantly made for all weather. Pair them with a classic straight leg jean and an oversized cozy cable knit sweater and you have the perfect fall outfit.

I love the big, oversized fit which makes it super cozy.  It pairs perfectly with my slim ecru jeans. I’m a millennial after all so I’m never giving up on a slimmer jean 🙆🏼‍♀️. The Mary Jane style shoe I can’t quit. They wear like a sneaker because they are so flexible but are more elevated. This outfit works perfect for a work from home day when I want to look (and feel) good but still be comfy.

Wearing my go to leggings in the color I can’t get enough of this season. These leggings are such good quality especially for the affordable price point.

The rollneck sweater I can’t get enough of and just ordered in a third color. I love the oversized, relaxed fit of it. Under $100 and a great one to add to your collection.

Add some fun sneakers and a woven tote bag and you look chic without losing comfort.

And I just ordered my third color of this classic rollneck sweater by @jcrew.  When you love something- buy it in multiples! 

Add a fun pop for a shoe and you have the perfect fall outfit formula!  These @flabelus flats are the absolute best because they are really supportive and comfy right out of the box. I could walk miles in them.
