In all of the fall launches, I've noticed lace detailed sweatshirts everywhere. I guess it's the mix and balance of ladylike details and comfort that reels everyone in, including me. I have a comfortable, somewhat tailored sweatshirt from J. Crew that I love, but I always feel a little too casual wearing it to work or trying to put layers with it. There is just something about a plain sweatshirt that needs more if you want to wear it out of the house.
The lace details of the sweatshirts below add just enough to make it seem more appropriate for multiple occasions, while still staying in the comfort zone. I love the look of these tops with boyfriend jeans and heels. Balance all around. I'd also live in these on the weekends with shorts or skinnies and flats, or to travel in come cooler weather. Well, I guess that sums it up - I'd wear these anywhere.
After this weekend, I'm officially ready for Spring. Maybe not full blown Summer, but definitely Spring. I want light layers, wedges, and trouser jeans for days. Those are the things creeping onto my wanted list. I have a couple pairs of trouser jeans and every time I wear them, I kick myself for not doing it more often. I guess it's because I prefer to wear them with wedges [closed and sandal varieties] instead of heels and most of those styles are more Spring than Winter in my closet.
Well, here they come because all I want to pair them with are light, flowy layers and cardigans/jackets. Perfect combination and it pulls the look together. Another trend I've been dying to try, but seem to be too lazy to put it together when I'm getting ready in the morning? Monochromatic looks. This bright red just looks awesome. And you all know I can't get enough of green...especially this bright, minty one from J. Crew. Well, that's set. Now I just need the warmer weather to stick around!
I'll start this post off with honesty. I'm not completely sure I'm on board or should try this trend, but I keep seeing it and wondering if I could pull it off. Not to mention, models and celebrities, and even fellow bloggers [Blair from A-P just seems to make everything look chic], all seem to look undeniably cool with their loose-fitting camo jackets over their outfits. Whether it's a basic dress or a t-shirt and boyfriend jeans underneath, the balance of feminine and tough just looks good together. I love the idea of a black dress and feminine jewelry with simple, comfortable booties, but can't deny that boyfriend jeans and heels looks just as good. From the styling I've seen so far with the camo craze, it's much like leopard in that people are using it as a neutral. I feel like I would still need some thought behind my look, but I may just be able to make it work.
