Wear Your Heart on Your Sleeve

We have a lovely holiday coming up this weekend. Valentine's Day. If you haven't figured out your outfit, be sure to check out my night in or out looks from last week's All In post. In the meantime I love an excuse to wear hearts, polka dots, you name it. So in honor of V Day, let's look at some hearts.

 Talbots, Bicycle Heart Sweater, $79

Who sweet is this sweater? I love the layered look and I love the ombre red to pink hearts.

Sedated Sequins

When I say 'sequin sweater' do you cringe, worry, or run away? Well, what if I gave you some sequins but in neutral colors. Something that sparkles with the right light not like a bold neon that makes people go 'woah girl, easy there.' Let me explain.

Saks Off 5th, Chevron Sequined Sweater, $55

See? We can do this! And we can do it on sale. Love this detail and pattern.

Modcloth, Wait Til You Sequin This Sweater, $39

Picture this with a distressed denim. It's casual meets cool.

Gap, Sequin Sweater, $35

I'm not usually one for ribbing, but this soft knit and sequin polka dots its too adorable to pass up.

Macy's, Striped Sequin Happy Pullover, $32

I may have saved my favorite for last. A perfect striped baseball style pullover with a very happy graphic.

Neutral sequins aren't flashy. The grays, creams, whites, blacks, they shimmer in the most understated way and make it so easy to pair with anything in your closet.

If you're looking for an easy, matches pretty much anything in your closet top, this is your go to. Throw it over a dress, pair it with jeans, or add some shine to a corduroy mini skirt.

Doesn't Need Maple Syrup

The waffle knit is such a cozy option for sweater weather. The often thick sweater can be layered with a patterned oxford underneath or dressed up with some big neon bling. But alone, it's simple, classic and so easy to wear.

Chunkster

It's freezing on the east coast. Like wear tights under your pants and then add the wool socks cold. When you walk outside it feels like you just got slapped across the face. You know what you need when it is this cold? Chunky knits. Lots of them. All of them. Get cozy.

Wallis, Cream Chunky Jumper, $49

A cozy cream will go perfectly with coated denim or a structured legging. I also love the big cowl neck.

Oversized, drapey, thick and relaxed. Add some mulled wine and call it a night.
