Preppy Time – Fall Stripes and Layering

ONstripes1

Sweater: Old Navy 3/4 sleeve crewneck sz XS (buy here; use FABFAVES til 10/18 for 30% off)
Shirt: Gap Shirred Blouse sz XSP   Blazer: H&M; (old) Skirt: YesStyle Boots: eBay

I haven’t set foot inside Old Navy in ages, but a reader Aviva kindly shared a tip about these shrunken-fit sweaters last month. In-stores, they’re only about $8 each. To add color to my casual wardrobe, I picked up this preppy green & black stripe (wish it were green & navy) and the fun multi stripe, to be shown soon. I got the multi stripe in a sz small, which is not that big on me. See this sweater on Kelly.

This weekend, my beloved boyfriend/photographer and I celebrated 7 years together. We shared a delish dinner, I squealed at a striking gift, but my favorite part – every time – is the thoughtful handmade card : )
anniversaryI’m traveling internationally for both work and blogging right now, so I apologize for being behind on your questions and emails. Can’t wait to settle back into Boston and catch up on my favorite blogs. I hope you all have a wonderful week ahead!

    I've just started following your blog and loving all the posts. Thanks so much for all the inspiring outfits, and looks. I truly love the boots. Can you please share where I can get the boots? I am also interested in YES Style and I browsed the website. I am 5'2" (petite according to height) but I am 120lbs so not petite according to the weight. Sob ! so YES Style's "One size" is not for me I guess.

    How does the YesStyle skirt fit/feel? I got some YesStyle stuff, and they were sadly low in quality, which made me think twice about ordering there again…

    I wrote a post on petite girls wearing J. Crew's "Crew Cuts." Have you ever shopped in the children's section? http://douxrousse.blogspot.com/2011/10/cool-kids.html

    Love that skirt!

    Cute! I've been reading your blog for a while and love to see all of your different clothing choices. Congrats on the 7 years as well!

    I recently ordred a couple of things from ON before this post. I stopped shopping there a couple of years ago but some really cheap clothes drew me back online, haha. I will let you know how they turn out!

    I love that stripe sweater on you. Who would guess that it came from Old Navy! This ensemble is gorgeous – love the beige skirt and brown boots. The leaf tossing photo is so pretty 😉 All your photos are beautiful – kudos to the photog and congrats on 7 years! Can't wait to see you carry the new gift 😉
