I have the day off today to get some work done on my car and then hopefully finish up my Christmas shopping.
I'm wearing a newly purchased Lord & Taylor merino wool blend oversized striped sweater. I bought this sweater yesterday when out with MIL. This is now my third Lord & Taylor item (slouchy black trousers, animal print cardigan being the other two). I'm in love with their fabrications - their cashmere and their wool are so comfortable, non itchy and soft. I also like their colours, shapes and slight nod to retro and preppy while still being current and modern. Because my wardrobe consists primarily of work items, I'm wanting a few tops that can be worn for casual wear but also worn to work - I think this sweater could work over a pencil skirt for a de-bomshelling look.
I've paired the sweater with my darker wash Suko boot cuts and my grey leather Frye wedge boots. Because the sweater has both green and cream stripes in it, I'm wearing my snakeskin handbag which has green and cream in it as well. Jewelry consists of my grey/silver bangle and silver Haida wedding band.
Of course when I head out the door, I'll be adding my citron short puffer.
What do you think? How are the proportions? Can a shortie like me wear the oversized sweater trend? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.
