Months ago I wrote a Style Sound-off article on Cartoon detailed clothes and it seems fitting to come back into writing with one. Trying to find time to blog is tough and I know that my fellow writers know this so I appreciate you guys for sticking with me. Anyway – what does one do when there is a glorious chilly breeze outside and said person wants a cute, comfy top? Well my recommendation would be for a trendy sweater! I know, I know. This has been the talk of the town for months, but as Christmas is rolling around, we get to focus on winter break: gifts for others and all those free days for more and more new outfits.
Sweaters can be chic whether they are vintage pick-ups or an expensive investment (which they are). For example, I’ve got my own collection of cashmere hand-me-downs that keep me warm for days on end, but nothing beats the edgy feeling of wearing my grey, ripped BCBG Max Azria “splurge” piece. There are also a wide variety of types depending on where your style falls – height of collar, tightness, color, stitching, fabric type, pattern – you name it. Personally, I find that sweaters can be so versatile, what with pull-overs vs. cardigans or crewnecks vs. form-fitted – the list is endless. I, a self-proclaimed “buyer of things thy doesn’t necessarily need but finds pretty”, knows the struggle in picking just one, but have no fear – style may evolve and adapt to the trending pattern, but sweater weather will never fade.
I LOVE sweaters! (nothingbutthegood.wordpress.com)
Yea, just can’t get enough of sweaters this season, though I probably have way too many already.
Haha me too. Whenever I go to a store I find myself going directly to a sweater when I know I have tons at home.
It’s getting worse, I got another one today. One week two sweaters. I think I need to seek professional help : P
Nice blog, by the way : )
Two sweaters in one week – been there done that, so I guess I should be on my way too. And thank you! It’s always nice to get feedback and hear what people think of my blog. x
I like that you bring up vintage sweaters. It is the one piece of clothing that can have centimental value especially if was sweater from a family member or a boyfriend. I love some of my thin cashmeres that my mom gave me that still smell from her perfume. It is a light scent but I notice. :-)
Thank you! I completely agree. I love wearing the sweaters that come from other people because I feel like it adds character to an outfit and when you wear it, it always means something. :)
