turtleneck – The Sol Compass

Cozy in Camel

You guys might recognize this sweater from last year; I had it one repeat in real life and featured it on the blog here. This is definitely my favorite turtleneck I own. It somehow manages to keep my neck warm while still being much more fitted and slim than other turtlenecks tend to be. I love it so much that I broke it out a little early this year to pair with my new favorite heels, and will probably go back in for another color this year!

Are there any items on your Black Friday shopping lists I need to scoop up for the winter? Let me know in the comments below!

Shades of Brown

This faux leather jacket from Express is one of my go to’s for casual weekend layering for fall and winter. My faux leather jackets are definitely one of my fashion must haves (I wear them under parkas during the winter so I have an extra layer on when I’m inside), and I’ve always been a big fan of brown- either as a neutral, or in varying shades by itself. My sister and I have this exact same jacket and riding boots, and showed up to our brother’s high school football game wearing them and sweaters in this exact latte color- we actually match accidentally pretty often! If that doesn’t speak to the functionality of this color combo, I don’t know what would! I love how this jacket can add a touch of edge and glam to even a turtleneck! As far as turtlenecks go, this one is a definite winner. I love how it’s still a warm and chunky knit, but is more fitted than most turtlenecks, so it isn’t totally shapeless and unflattering.

Hope you’re all enjoying your MLK Day! Thanks for stopping by!

Sweater Expert

I know there is technically no official title of ‘Sweater Expert’, but if there were I would definitely be in contention for that crown. I have tried sweaters from all over- online shops, brick and mortar stores; high end and low end- searching for the ones that will get me through the miserably cold New England winter. After such an elaborate search over the past few years, I can say with complete confidence that GAP Inc. brands make my favorite and most reliable sweaters across the board- I know that I can walk into an Old Navy, GAP, or Banana Republic store and be 100% satisfied with their sweater selection at any given time. I recently wore some of my favorites on the blog here and here! When I walked into Banana Republic and saw these turtlenecks displayed on the front table, the only question I had was which color to buy it in. Orange, my favorite color, ultimately won out- but it was definitely a close race!

Nothing Rhymes With Orange

Although it has been getting significantly warmer up north, we definitely still have a few cold days left before spring comes around in full force. For these days, I love wearing a bright colored coat like this orange one. I found it at TJMaxx a few years ago, but I love breaking it out every spring. It is still practical for those chilly March days, but also adds a nice spring color to brighten up the day (and my mood). Last weekend dipped back into the 30s, so I had to layer it with this soft oatmeal colored turtleneck to stay warm! Soon, sundresses. I’m coming for you soon.
