Weekend Inspiration: Striped Turtleneck

This content has been archived. It may no longer be relevant

Happy Friday Ladies!  We’re headed into the craziest time of year. And as of today, I am three weeks away from baby #3, so my to-do list is even more than a typical December.

I’m starting to miss my old body.  Just yesterday I was thinking about how being pregnant leaves me in awe of how strong women are and how grateful I am for what my body can do.  It also makes me appreciate my non-pregnant body even more.  I’d like to be able to finish a sentence without running out of breath, I miss the feeling of accomplishment and endorphins after a sweaty workout, and my waistline – ugh, all I want is to put on a pair of skinny jeans.

So today’s weekend inspiration is what I would wear for day out with the kids, maybe picking up the tree, or looking at Christmas lights.

Turtleneck, $40  |  Boots, $150  |  Jeans, $65  |  Vest, $100  |  Bag, $30

 

How sweet is this outfit?  I love everything about it, including the price points of each item.  I ordered this striped turtleneck from J. Crew, so I have it ready to wear in January.  It feels very Audrey Hepburn. Pair it with skinny dark jeans and boots for the weekend or black ankle pants and loafers for a casual office outfit.  Right now, if you use code SNUGGLE, you get an additional 40% off. Cheers to J. Crew for offering sizes up to 3X.

This year many of us discovered Wit & Wisdom jeans.  They fit so well and are only $65.  If you want something better than Old Navy’s Rockstar Jeans, but less than Paige or AG, give these a try.  They are slimming, and there wash is pretty much perfect.  Available in missy and petite here and plus sizes here.

Looking for a casual pair of riding boots?  These Sam Edelman’s are gorgeous and $150.  They come in black and whiskey (above).  I always go for the brown option for boots like this.  They work as a sophisticated neutral that you can wear with anything, including black.  While you don’t have to be matchy-matchy this inexpensive crossbody bag works well with the whole look.  It’s especially nice to be hands free on a day out with the kids.

Finally, I found this cheerful red vest by Hunter that kicks these simple basics into casual holiday look.  Want to add a sccarf?  This seasonal plaid is under $30 and would bring all the elements of the outfit together.
