Sweatin It in a Sweater

January 5, 2012 by

There are two things Texans don’t need many of: coats and sweaters. That does not keep me from wanting all the cozy numbers that show up in stores the second we drop into the 60 degree temps.  These are REALLY calling my name. They are also calling out that I may need a stripes intervention. I think every single item I like these days is striped.

  1. Old Navy, Striped Intarsia Sweater
  2. Forever 21, Wide Stripe Sweater
  3. Forever21, Striped Sweater Top
  4. Forever 21, Thick Stripe Sweater
  5. Forever 21, Colorblock Turtleneck Sweater

Being Part of the Tribe

July 14, 2011 by

  2. Forever 21, Tribal Knit Top
  3. Nordstrom, Print Boxy Tee
  4. Charlotte Russe, Tribal Print Cold Shoulder Top
