Warm 'n Cozy

I thought I had it all planned out.  Course you know what they say, ...best laid plans, etc.  I thought I would do a theme of leather blazers this week, but I woke up this morn NOT FEELING LIKE LEATHER.  I wanted soft and cozy.  So I dug out all my sweaters--they were sort of a motley bunch--pilled, wrinkled and tired.  Maybe one of my skirts could inspire me.  Naw, they were looking a little ratty too.  I was having a devil of a time getting ready!

My husband had given me this sweater for my birthday.  It is a cashmere/silk blend and I love the color--BUT this "slouchy" shape is giving me trouble.  I figure with its full shape, I will wear something slim on the bottom.

 I love this skirt--the material is wool with a nap--almost like fur.  It has cute, silk ribbon finishing and fits great.  Soft and cozy.  I went for a pink/purple mix of tones today--a tad different, no?  Tamed the color party down with the neutral coat. 

Oh, and the little booties are really comfortable with the little kitten, 2 1/2 inch heel!!!  Love the sun blaring those wrinkles right off my face!

Slouchy sweaters--wear with skinny or full shape?

  2. You look so good in pink.

    And I think slouchy sweaters can be worn with just about anything, but they do look best with a slim bottom.

  3. This is really beautiful on you. These jewel tones just light you up! I'm with you, I often try to balance things....fitted on top, loose on bottom and vice versa. But maybe I should lighten up on that rule sometime. ~Serene

  6. Love all the summery, raspberry, red-pink colors! I agree that it looks great paired with a slim skirt. It's a great proportional fit!

  7. I vote for slim unless you are going for the "too old to care" look.

    I love when you show outerwear. I commute on public transit and spend a lot of time looking around at what people wear over whatever they're wearing. The camel looks fun with the pops of color.

    Joy~I felt sort of all boobs n belly, tho!
    Serene~ya, I might try this with a fuller, short skirt?
    Pam~Victorias Secret does some really nice, reasonably priced blends. I was just a little bummed on the shape of this one, but I will make it work!
    Silvergirl~Its actually more of the satin ribbon--very cute detail.
    Vanessa~Very rasberry like tones. Thanks
    Rose~Most people will only SEE me in outerwear, so its got to be part of it, no?

  12. Hhm. My camel sweater is pretty slouchy and i have paired it with a fitted shape. I have had OLD cashmere sweaters though that are just so comfy that I throw them on and don't even think about the look! The sweater is a beautiful color on your sunny face!
