Belted Sweaters




This photo is from J.Crew. I have that sweater (or a very similar incarnation) in oxblood.

Where I pinned it: Busy Mommy Style

Things I liked about this photo:
Ease
It looks comfortable and warm.

How I'll make it my own:
Jeans, white tee, collared shirt, oxblood sweater, belt

Twilly scarf and LV purse

Ugg wedge boots.







What I actually wore:


  • Frame Le Skinny de Jeanne jeans in Queens Way
  • F21 white cami 
  • Abercrombie collared shirt
  • J. Crew oxblood sweater-blazer
  • Abercrombie double wrap belt
  • J. Crew necklace
  • (Not shown) Ugg wedge boots


I forgot a purse and I wasn't going anywhere this morning except to drop off the kids.




Rating:
  1. Comfort: Pretty good. 8/10; I was a bit hot, which is saying something since it's -8C today.
  2. Likability: 7/10; 
  3. Repeatability: Pretty likely, but probably in the spring or autumn when I don't have to wear a coat on top. 8/10
  4. Discards: I rarely wear this collared shirt, but I always love the A&F fit, so I'm keeping it. I'll see if I reach for this more often once I've cut back my collection.

Thoughts:
I still love this sweater-blazer, but it always gets too hot under a winter coat. It's a better piece when it can be my warmer layer; like in early spring or autumn. It will look amazing with my LV bag in the same colour and some nice shoes when it's not snowing.

I love this belt, but I don't wear it as often as I should. I need to find more double wrap belt inspiration.

Lunar New Year

Image
Every year, I see headlines post-Christmas and pre-New Year's Eve about resolutions. It all comes down to one thing: New Year, New You. I'm not one for resolutions and January 1 doesn't feel like the start of the year for me. I always get my bearings and start planning right around Lunar New Year. I'm not Chinese, but it always feels like a new start. Plus, I get the urge to shop. A LOT. So, here I am; again. Blogging. Making myself half-hearted promises. Perhaps, this year I will actually keep them. On to business: I love Pinterest. When it started, it was everything I wanted. A place to store and sort  all those websites and images I was hoarding for inspiration. Do you ever actually make/wear/use those pins? I suppose I do, but when it comes to outfits, mostly I shop. Then, sadly, the item arrives and I forget. So, the plan is thus: 1. Use those pins. Catalog at least 1 per week. Preferably 3+. 2. Photograph outfits that were inspired by that photo. ...
