Sweater Weather

As I mentioned in my last post, sweater weather has finally hit Los Angeles and I am celebrating with some of the sweaters that I recently purchased in anticipation of the fall and winter months! One of my favorite types of sweaters is a colorful striped sweater, and even though I have way too many of these in my closet, I end up wearing them all the time, so I suppose they are a good investment! This coral stripe sweater from LOFT is one of my more recent striped sweater purchases. I really think it has some great fall colors in it! Below are some other striped sweater options that I also love.

I paired this colorful sweater with a corduroy mini skirt and some tall brown boots. Wearing boots is another thing that I truly enjoy about this time of year! I think it's a shame that I live somewhere that only allows for fall/winter dressing for such a short period of time, because I really do love wearing sweaters, coats and boots!

Llama Sweater

Everything llama related was all the rage a few years ago. Llamas are super cute, so I was definitely all on board with this trend! I suppose the llama trend is still going strong because I recently found this llama sweater at Banana Republic! The llama on the sweater looks very reminiscent of an ad campaign put out by Banana Republic when I was in college. (That was kind of a long time ago!) I remember loving the ad then and I still love the llama in the ad now! The only thing that I wish was different about the sweater is the scarf on the llama because the llama in the ad had an orange scarf on, which I think should have been used in the sweater for a pop of color!

Speaking of a pop of color, because this outfit is head to toe brown with brown boots, a brown tweed skirt, and, of course, my brown llama sweater, I thought I would add a little pop of color with my accessories. One easy way to add color to any outfit is with a fun, colorful bag! I recently got this bag from the Salvatore Ferragamo outlet last month. When I saw the patchwork of bright colors on the bag, it was love at first sight! I love that it's colorful but in a way that's perfect for the fall and winter months due to the slightly more subdued colors. I guess you could say this bag was made for me!
