Day 135: Toasty

Can you tell I really like these yellow leaves? I'll be sad when they finally get cleaned up.  I picked up this sweater recently because another one of my conclusions for a better wardrobe is More Sweaters, Fewer Sweatshirts.  This is just as comfortable, but has more of a style.  In the old days (pre-July 6, 2011), I would have probably worn this sweater with a brown long-sleeve tee underneath. But since starting this project and reading fashion and style blogs, I wanted to do something a little more exciting. I thought that contrasting patterns in a gray or tan similar to what is in the sweater would be ideal, but I don't have anything that fits that description. This black and white striped shirt will have to do. What would you wear under this sweater?

  1. This is such a good casual Friday outfit, Lindsay. I love the striped shirt you're wearing under the sweater. I guess you decided that you won't be giving the sweater as a Christmas gift. He-he!

    P.S. Yesterday's mystery Stephanie wasn't me. :)

  2. Ha! I would have done the same as you and put a brown shirt under it - but if you wanted to branch out, maybe not so much patterned, but a teal or plum would be a nice contrast. If you wanted patterned, what about a floral button up?

  7. Thanks everyone! It's reassuring to know that one of the outfits that gets the most love consists of one of my newest pieces. Means I should go shopping more, I think!

    Meesch, it's true that Philadelphia is beautiful! Think this will change its reputation for being the dirty city?
