FREE PEOPLE YELLOW KNIT + BAUBLE BAR

Hey there!

I’ve been wanting to show more of my style choices here sooo I am doing just that with today’s post. My fashion taste is simple but sometimes I feel the need to share those simple things as this wild online world can sometimes be overrun with OTT outfits that I could never imagine actually donning for an entire day.

I picked up this Free People sweater from LuLu’s on Black Friday because I was inspired by the sunny shade in a sweater since I’d be obligated to wear it November-March– the months I’m usually rocking jewel tones and extra hardcore blacks and greys. I paired the sweater with some tassel earrings from BaubleBar in a matching mellow yellow color (similar tagged below).

Heads up if you’re reading this the day I’m posting it or soon thereafter– this sweater is actually 40% off if you buy from Nordstrom (linked below), which is an even better deal than what I got it for on Black Friday! It comes in a variety of delicate shades that you can easily transition from Winter to Spring when the time comes.

Random side story– I have driven past this little gateway well over a hundred times in the two and a half years I have lived in my current city. It’s behind a stretch of townhomes next to the shopping center that holds both my Target and grocery store (aka I’m passing by there a LOT). I always told myself I would get around to shooting either myself or someone else underneath it but have just never gotten around to doing so. Yesterday I was off from work for a day of mourning former President Bush and I figured I’d do it since I’m moving so soon. The owners of the home were totally fine with me setting up behind their house for a few minutes on a random, chilly Wednesday afternoon. I love that.

Let me know below if you pick up the sweater while it’s on sale and tell me which color you got! We can be style (and/or color) twins!

THANKSGIVING OUTFIT

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my U.S. readers!

I wanted to pop on real quick to share the outfit that I wore today. Let me just say one quick thing prior, though: stretchy pants.

I picked up my pants and sweater the other day during South Moon Under’s 20% off $150 sale. The pants are PULL ON with an ELASTIC WAISTBAND. They’re unbelievably comfortable and super, super cool. My (future) bro-in-law told me I looked straight outta the 1970’s and I could have melted into a puddle of pride right there. That is my goal in life like, every day.
The sweater has a hella dramatic cowl neck and I was worried it wouldn’t ‘lay’ right but it somehow naturally falls really well. It wasn’t my initial plan for my top but it was record-breakingly cold today so I absolutely needed more warmth than the tunic I’d originally planned.
I wore some studded, open-toed shoes (old Jeffrey Campbells, also from South Moon– the ‘Bess’ style) with socks because again, cold and paired everything with these really chic resin tortoise hoops. It was entirely unplanned but somehow my entire outfit was from South Moon.
IMPORTANT NOTE: South Moon Under’s Black Friday sale is currently on and they’re advertising 30% off EVERYTHING! This is an post is not sponsored– I just love that store! Go go go get whatever you’ve been wanting.
