Sweater Weather

 Weezer, "Undone"

Much to my chagrin, it's still sweater weather. And the temps haven't risen above freezing in the last few days. Such is life in the Northeast in the winter.

The best part of the cold weather, and yes, there is a best part, are the fun, fuzzy sweaters that we get to wear. Luckily, sweaters come in a variety of styles, shapes etc and we can wear them any way we'd like. To transition into Spring, because my fingers are crossed that it is still actually coming, I've selected sweaters to pair with skirts and, for now, tights.


Style Tip 1: Mix prints. 

Style Tip 2: Layer On.

  

Style Tip 3: Different lengths, different looks. 

1) Sparrow / Blue Ombre Sweater / XS / $22, Boden / Tan Polka Dot Skirt / 12 / $13.99

2) Lucky / Beige Silk Skirt / Small / $13.50, Lord and Taylor / Beige Cardigan / Medium / $16.50

3) Cynthia Rowley / Gray Bow Cardigan / XS / $17.50, Vintage / SK and Company / 6 / $10.50

The Winter Blues

I think I speak for most people in the tri-state area when I say: "I never want to see another snowflake ever again!" One way ticket to Costa Rica, please!

Anywho, the one thing that has kept my seasonal depression at bay has been looking at all of the lovely frocks that graced the runways of New York Fashion Week (NYFW). The winter blues seem to have captured the likes of Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, DVF, DKNY etc. Here are some of my favorite looks from the catwalks of Lincoln Center as well as what is in store at Blackbird Attic to (chambray) wash your blues away.

Abercrombie Fitch / Chambray Stripe Button Up / Small / $12.50

LemLem / Navy White Stripe Top / Medium / $22

Urban Outfitters / Kimchi Blue / Blue Floral Tie Top / Medium / $12.50

Vintage / Last Best Place / Denim Dress / Small-Medium / $16.50

Free People / Dark Blue Tunic / 6 / $22

Jcrew / Denim Jacket / Small /$24.99

Style Tip 1: Pair the Abercrombie Chambray button down top with a pair of dark jeans and you have a casual outfit for the weekend.

Style Tip 2: The JCrew denim jacket is a must-have in your closet for all seasons to throw over a heavy sweater, a maxi dress or to just add the extra "casual-ness" to any outfit day or night.
