10th Commandment: August 20

Aug 20, 2014

It doesn’t seem possible that it’s time to start shopping for sweaters again, but it is.  My favorite last year was an ivory cable-knit from Zara that will need to be replaced.  Here are the top contenders.

    Forget the sweater – I am lusting over those A McQ red leather pants. Divine

    I think I like the one from gap best, which is nice because of the price tag!

    I literally thought “damn, I really need a v-neck” and then scrolled to the end of the post. Belle wins at the internet.

      I wish there had been better choices for the v-neck, but I picked the best one. Can’t leave you girls out.

    Just a question – did anyone else notice that there is a skull on the top sweater? I did a double take, but now I can’t unsee it.

    Also, ivory sweaters are my favorite!

    I missed out on a cable knit sweater last year so I’m on admission to find one this season. I’d like to spend less than $100, but don’t care for the longer hem at the bottom of the Gap sweater. Will you keep us posted or revisit ivory cable knits as they become more available? Thanks for the post Belle!

    That would be “a mission.” Darn autocorrect!

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

Business Casual Outfit: Linen Closet

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
