When making a decision on new clothes, shoes, or an accessory I always try and put together three ways I will wear or utilize the piece in my head before I pull the trigger. Of course there are some times when I end up coming home with one-time-only items but I try to keep that to a minimum. It’s my goal to make sure the purchase issomewhat necessary and that I truly will be getting good wear or use out of it. Last month when looking online at Sweetest Stitch, I immediately took notice of this oversized, poncho-ish sweater. In my mind I checked off my ‘three’ outfit boxes thinking I could style it with white skinnys & tan wedged booties, with slim destructed denim & heels, and withleggings and boots. Check, check, and check, so into my online cart it went but once it was delivered I instead went wayyy outside of my usual combinations and decided to have a bit more fun with what is otherwise a fairly basic sweater.
Heading out for a casual dinner, I continued the loose-fitting silhouette with a pair of printed pants I bought last year for a trip to Mexico. I’m honestly not sure if I’ve worn them since that vacation but they basically spoke to me when I turned my closet light on so I figured what the heck!? When I put the sweater on with the pants, I kind of loved what I saw. Something TOTALLY different for me but I was super comfortable and had fun trying the combination of textures together. Adding a simple black pump made me feel more feminine and I felt like a bit of height was needed to balance out a rather shapeless outfit. Of course I will be trying out my three initial outfit ideas as well, but for today it was fun adding print, color, and a cooler vibe to my usually predictable choices.
