Sweater Weather

What do I love about fall? I could bore you with a long list of reasons why fall rules but big chunky sweaters are probably right up there with my mom’s homemade pecan pie. I wear them with pretty much anything I can get my hands on when the temperatures start to drop. Boyfriend jeans, skinny jeans, flares, leather, etc. A great sweater will go with pretty much anything you wear it with. I have stacks and stacks of wooly sweaters that I have collected over the years but I can’t seem to stop myself from adding to my collection when fall rolls around. Sweaters used to all look the same to me, some with crew necks, others with v necks and then there were sweaters with turtlenecks.

This simple combo creates an effortless element to any fall look and if the weather brings a surprise warm up, you just shed a layer! I added my new joie crepe joggers to complete the look which was perfect since they are incredibly comfortable and perfect for weekends like this.
