The Boyfriend Sweater

the concept we’re going to talk about today is one that i’ve mentioned before: versatility. seeing as i don’t have an endless wardrobe budget, i have to buy things that can transition well between seasons and across styles. now that Chicago is in full-blown Fall season, i’m finally able to bring out all of my sweaters. i love fall and winter for layering sweaters over my sleeveless and shortsleeve tops. the layering allows me to wear my spring/summer clothes year round, which leaves money for new items each season. which makes me a happy little shopper.

Gracie B. sent me this really cute and versatile Boyfriend Sweater to style two ways for Fall. the most versatile thing about it is that it’s neutral, so i can pair it with some color and change the whole look of the sweater. for a day at my internship or dinner with friends, i’d pair the sweater with dark wash jeans, a silky top, and some comfortable flats.

for a more casual (and my go-to style) look, i paired the sweater with a graphic tee, simple necklace, and booties. this is an outfit i’d wear on the weekends or running errands.

do you have some versatile pieces in your closet that can translate well from season to season and look to look? if not, consider this sweater!
