And if you’re curious about the items above, I’m wearing a J.Crew sweater, Julie Vos ring (c/o), and a Monica Vinader ring that was a Black Friday gift to myself last year. The mug is an old one from Target. I’ll be spiking its contents later today. 😉
Well, it’s officially sweater weather. (Although today is expected to reach 72 degrees, which is all the excuse I need to break out my favorite summer dress one last time before packing it away for the year.) I typically hate the change in seasons and the hint of frost in the air, but this turtleneck is easing some of the post-summer blues. It’s a cozy, non-itchy wool blend that’s perfect for crisp fall days. (Seriously, how cute would it be for autumnal photo opps? Think apple picking, enjoying the fall color, getting lost in corn mazes, etc. It’s why I’m going to wear it pretty much constantly this season.) It’s available today for 30% off with free shipping. Go with your regular size for the intended relaxed fit. I’m also a huge fan of how it looks with a navy a-line mini skirt and the block-heel pumps in this Instagram.

Every year, my wardrobe echos the back-to-school mindset of autumn with preppy basics like this striped sweater from Banana Republic and the new driving moccasins you may have spotted on Snapchat over the weekend (username: bedknobsbaubles). The only drawback, if you can consider it one, is that the weather is still far too hot and humid to actually wear these things for longer than a quick photo session. (As if you couldn’t tell from my hair …) However, I’m happy to brave the elements — and a touch of heat stroke — if it helps convince you that this is definitely one sweater worth adding to your closet this fall. Truth be told, I haven’t loved anything from Banana Republic this year (aside from the purse worn here). Fits have been off on me and the fabric quality questionable, but this sweater is definitely a keeper. It’s a lightweight blend of merino wool, cashmere and synthetic materials that’s machine washable. (Seriously, when was the last time you scored a non-cotton sweater that could be laundered at home?) The fabric is on the thin side and I almost returned it before trying it on because of it. However, I was pleased to discover that it’s not actually that sheer when worn with a nude bra underneath. It runs true to size.

I know I shouldn’t complain about the weather here in Wisconsin after the East Coast was pummeled with snow over the weekend, but I’m tired of subzero temperatures and overcast days. To combat my dismal mood, I’ve been daydreaming about our April trip and — of course — what I’ll pack. It looks like Copenhagen’s average April temperature is 43 degrees, which is basically the start of summer to a Wisconsinite. A new dress or two that I can wear a couple of times on the trip are in order. This tunic dress looks like a comfortable option for exploring the city paired with loafers (love these in silver). If money wasn’t an object, I’d definitely bring along this DVF dress. I’ve had it on my wish list for a couple of months now, desperately waiting for it go on major sale.
