TAN CARDI COZINESS

Hi guys! Happy Tuesday and last day in January! What a fab and fun month it has been (well minus that 2 weeks of pure rain we had!) I love that we are inching closer to all things Spring and warmer temps.

Today it’s all about my love for a cozy cardi, specifically tan or neutrally colored ones. Camel tones have been all the rage this season and while I didn’t jump on the coat bandwagon, I did invest in this most fab cardi from Vince (available here too). This cashmere fabness is absolutely so worth every penny and I have no doubt it will be a staple in my closet in the next coming years. You cannot beat the classic fit or how well made it is.

What I love most about this cardi is the versatility. I find myself throwing it on with a tank and jeans, belting it over leggings and wearing it more like a coat with a long maxi dress. For this look, I paired it with a simple lace cami and this super cute and fun burgundy corduroy skirt ($60!!) from Topshop. I love that the cardi is a bit longer than the skirt! So one of the trends I have been loving lately.

Since the temps have still been all over the place, I chose these Stuart Weitzman otk boots to help keep me warm. This color is sadly sold out, but here they are in other colors and here is a $99 similar option. I added on this super simple layered choker from Vanessa Mooney just to spice up the neckline a bit. For bag, I broke out my newest Saint Laurent love that I got for Christmas…..eep!! I just LOVE this bag. I found this beauty at Capitol, the most luxurious and fabulous boutique ever in Charlotte, NC where my parents live. If you live in the area or ever visit, it is a MUST see. First of all, the store itself is a work of art from an architectural stand point. Second, the inventory is so over the top fab that you will just be in awe. Back to the bag, I had to have it! I haven’t seen this particular style anywhere (which I love) and hello, it’s heart shaped and leopard print. Does not get any cooler!

So if you are debating whether or not you need this cardi or one of these others I am loving below, I clearly think you do. It’s just a simple layer that will forever be chic and a go-to piece in your closet. Here are some more options:

I hope you guys all have a really fab Tuesday! I am off to Javier’s for a shower/lunch to celebrate one of my friends and her little baby on the way. I am also all busy as we are jetting off on a weekend trip on Thursday, so I need to start packing (which I am SO terrible at!) Anyone else just end up bringing it all and more? I get such anxiety over not having what I “might” need….haha, wish me luck!
