As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own
As soon as the cooler weather approaches, I feel the urge to change out my closet. With anticipation of a new season ahead, I pack away my lighter summer clothing in exchange for warmer heavier pieces. It is just not articles of clothing that I am swapping out for fall, I also seek to pull out deeper toned hues and a variety of textures to accommodate the cooler crisp air. I find it exciting that each change in season offers us new clothing opportunities. Personally, I love the feeling of a soft and cozy wool sweater as soon as the temperatures take a dip.
Last month, I had the opportunity to travel back to the Chicago area to spend some time with my family. I welcomed the opportunity to layer up and enjoy the change of season in the midwest.
Northern Lights Cardigan Sweater from Appleseed’s
The new season’s sweaters are far from boring as prints and patterns are making their debut.
Today, I am wearing this new Cardigan Sweater from Appleseeds. While browsing their site, this zipped sweater caught my eye immediately because of its vibrant purple shade. The floral & vine pattern has a bit of Nordic inspiration with its geometric border. Another unique added detail is the zipper, which is shaped like a leaf. How perfect for fall!? The sweater also comes in an array of bold colors that will brighten up your look no matter where you are heading. I’m wearing a size petite small in the cardigan. I’m 5’3” for reference and I found that the sweater hits perfectly right at my hips.
On this particular day, I had lunch plans with my daughter and daughter in law. We dined outside in the shade, which can be a little breezy this time of year. What I liked about the cardigan is that it can be worn on its own or even styled as a light jacket.
I paired the cardigan with a pair of black leggings. However, it would also work nicely with denim jeans, khaki pants, or even a long-knit skirt. I’ve layered it over Appleseed’s lavender classic button-down shirt . This slightly tapered shirt is a closet staple. I love that it is made with wrinkle resistant fabric to help keep you looking put together all day long. I opted to grab the petite size 4 in lavender and am happy with the fit. Worn tucked in or out, this sweater and shirt combination will give that elevated casual look.I’ll be sharing more of my fall picks from Appleseed’s throughout the month!
