While I’ll never stop shopping at my go-to, large retailers {i.e. Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, H&M, etc.}, I’ve found myself seeking out small/local spots more and more lately. This is one of my favorite sweaters at the moment–I have in in 3 colors–but if you take a quick look on Instagram, you’ll see a few thousand other bloggers who are also obsessed with it. Popular pieces are great but I tend to prefer that not everyone has an exact replica of my closet. Enter Lily + ShiWhen I came across Lily + Shi on Instagram I was instantly drawn in; with a solely web-based boutique and limited inventory, they offer adorable and affordable pieces. Their variety of chilly-weather wear like my tasseled vest, this chunky knit, this cozy sweater, and this long cardigan, is perfectly on-trend and you can be sure not everyone you know will be wearing them!

When Lily + Shi so kindly gifted me this super cute vest, I knew it would be the perfect layering piece and it could transition seamlessly from Fall to Winter. For this look I put it over another ‘shop small’ top from Four Sisters {not available online, unfortunately!} and paired it with slightly destructed skinnys and a neutral bootie. I love that this vest provides a bit of added warmth and the tassel detailing is one of my favorite trends of the season. Wear it open or utilize the snap closures for a completely different look.

As I’ve said many times, my favorite part of blogging has been creating new friendships and discovering new-to-me brands. Being able to partner with Lily + Shi for this look is the perfect example of why I absolutely love what I do, plus they’ve even gone a step above and are offering all of my readers 10% off their ENTIRE purchase with code Kristin10. 🙂 Enjoy!
