Layering with a Sweater Vest
Oh how I love creating layered outfits! I think it’s fun to try to find pieces to mix together that create a chic, stylish and effortless ensemble. I’ve been really gravitating towards vests this season. I think it’s because of our warm winter weather. Layering with a sweater vest helps me create a layered outfit without adding to much warmth to the overall look like a cardigan or jacket.
This layered look has a little bit of inspiration from an old favorite movie of mine, Clueless, when Cher is trying to pick the perfect outfit for her driving test. My semi-sheer blouse has lots of fun ruffle details on the front and on the bottom of the sleeve. The spotlight of this outfit though is they pastel sweater vest layered over my white top. Up close, it features light pink and blue colors that transform into a light purple from a distance.
I’m currently wearing this cropped top backwards. I think it works both ways and give you two very different styles. This way gives a v-neckline which lets my ruffles really pop through and add a little wow factor. I wore this flipped around with a long white basic tunic and long necklace for a preppier outfit. The boxy fit of the vest also works with a boxy or looser fitting top underneath so both pieces lays properly.

Ivory Fair Isle Sweater
Fair isle sweaters instantly make me think of the winter season. Snow days, Christmas, lots of cold weather and snuggling by a fire. We don’t get too many cold days down here, so I like to embrace winter prints like fair isle to help me get my fill of winter.
This ivory fair isle sweater is thick and warm, perfect for the coldest days. It’s a bit longer length. On my petite height, it’s perfect with leggings! I love pairing this sweater with a medium brown shoe to pull out the tan colors in the print. You could opt for boots or booties for a more casual look. I like heels to help this look more office friendly.
These are the same high waist jeans from the last post. I slightly rolled them a bit to hide the frayed hem and give my overall outfit a more polished look. These have the slightest fade to them which works perfectly with the earth tone colors in this sweater.

Happy 2022 friends! I’m really excited for this year. Last year we were all about our wedding, and this year our focus will be on our house. We have some new furniture to purchase and decorating to do. We put some of the house items on hold while prepping for the wedding, so I’m excited to get back to it. Also you guys, I have lots of fun wedding planning posts coming to the blog this year for anyone looking for tips, tricks, and advice on planning a wedding. They will be accompanied with lots of pretty photos from the wedding too for those interested.
We had a pretty warm December, so I’m excited to start the year with some cold weather. I’m celebrating with a few sweaters on the blog this week. This cropped blue sweater is so soft and warm. It has a dropped shoulder sleeve with a little ruffle detail. Ya’ll know I just love a little sleeve detail. It’s a cropped length which works perfectly with these high waisted jeans.
The black jeans have a high waist design and lots of stretch. I love the extra stretch on the high waist style which can sometimes feel a little snug if not perfectly sized. These are an ankle length with frayed hem which is usually perfect on my petite height, but these are just a bit long.
