Fashion Fridays: Striped Sweater
{Full disclosure: I am not a model and taking pictures of myself is just plain awkward. But let’s ignore this factย and focus on my love for you and desire to share outfit ideas with you. Shall we?}
Every time I have a trip coming up, I find myself shopping for one too many outfits! This weekend, I am excited to be traveling to Ronaoke VA where I will be meeting a lot of new people. I wanted one or two new fall sweaters for the occasion but of course that didn’t happen as I couldn’t help myself. I found this black and white striped sweater at H&M and I had to grab it (plus a few others)! But let’s focus on this striped sweater. I love stripesย and the slightly oversized nature of this sweater seemed perfect for these crisp fall days.ย With a pair of skinny jeans and a knit scarf combo, I was off to a coffee date with the hubs!
Talking about skinny jeans, I tried the new Curvy Fit line from Lee Jeans on my constant quest to find jeans that fit (and withstand) my curves (ahem booty!). I’m loving these straight leg jeans because of the no-gap waistband, the comfortable stretch material and the way they fit and love my curves.ย They’ve become a part of my everyday collection. You need to try them if you are on a similar quest too!

As the weather creeps closer to winter, let’s enjoy these few days left where we can throw on a sweater, a knit scarf and grab a cup of apple cider chai!
Have a great weekend!
I have major problems finding jeans, and the waist gap is always an issue! I am on that quest, so I will check them out. This outfit is adorable! Oooooh, that handbag. You are too cute in these pics!! ๐ Have a great weekend!
Me too! Try these and let me know what you think. The waist gap is nonexistent here.
I love it! And I can’t stand the thought of modeling something but you look like you’ve done it your whole life. Amazing and beautiful!
And every outfit looks even better with coffee in hand. ๐
Have a fab weekend!
Thanks Melanie! Hope you have a great weekend!!

Full Disclosure: You sure do a great job modeling for someone who says they aren’t a model! ๐
I’ve been on the hunt for a perfect b&w striped shirt! This one’s so cute. And is that an elephant on your bracelet? They’re my favorite! I need to find this bracelet…
Hahahha thank you Julia!! You should try this one from H&M. And yes that’s an elephant. I found the bracelet at Forever21 but I can’t for the life of me find it online.
Your such a doll! Love the bag!
Thanks Annie!

I was just thinking ‘she could be a model’ when I read your ‘disclaimer’ that you aren’t a model. Well, now that you’re doing these posts you are!
My favourite is that tan bag – love it!
Ah Helen thank you! I’m flattered lol! Yes! I love the purse. I’m wearing it everywhere

Roanoke’s not far from me, but I love this sweater! I love stripes on anything, and you’re such a pro at this model thing. But can we see the…. (ahem Booty) in the jeans ๐
Hhahah Christina next time I will make sure to include a shot of the booty lol!
Well, now that you have the fashion blogger modeling thing down, what shall we talk about? ๐ You look wonderful and I’m so happy you liked these jeans!
