Stripe Out

It’s really been feeling like one of those weeks over in Nicole-land. I’m not sure what day it is, I constantly think I’m forgetting something, I can’t stay on top of my email inbox…. A hot mess basically.

What Nicole Wore: Stripe Out — shop the post: striped and layered sweater {on sale for $17! | also seen here} + white skinny jeans {also seen here} + leopard print loafers {old, similar | also seen here} + marble print leather clutch {linked in solid | also seen here} + statement necklace {also seen here} + nail polish + eye shadow + foundation c/o influenster {blended with this} + bronzer + blush + mascara + lips + eyebrows + eyeliner {on top lid} + eyeliner {turquoise along waterline}

I was all ready to start this post by sharing that this top is sold out, but then found that it’s been restocked in a few sizes and colors and it’s still on sale for $16.90 – Hooray! As you’ll see, this sweater features faux layers with the sweater part being cropped and then a fun chiffon layer underneath. The sweater portion has a super cute button detailing down the back. It is true to size {I’m wearing my normal XS}, super comfy and warmer than I thought it would be; this is going to be an awesome piece to wear during the transition to spring and I love this fun shade of purple.

{PS. Here’s the fun lace layered blouse I was going to link before I realized this top is back in stock! Super cute, tunic length and under $25!}

Pairing bold color with white jeans has been a major go to for me lately. I’m so tired of muted colors and just want to wear all the brights I can get my hands on.

My leopard loafers add just the right pop of pattern to the bottom half of this look; I love how fun they are and the pattern mixing isn’t too busy either. Fun, patterned shoes are a great way to contribute to a print mix if you’re nervous about doing too much.
