One Sweater | Two Ways

Holy bananas!  It is FREEZING outside guys!  Hope you’re somewhere safe and warm.  I spent most of my morning trying to be productive, but my bed was just too cozy to leave.  Anyone in the same boat?  Thank goodness this arctic blast is only lasting for a day or so.  What are you plans for this weekend?  We’ve got some birthdays to celebrate and I’m excited to bring Marli along.  She loves being around new settings.

Earlier this week, I received some items I purchased online.  GAP and Old Navy were having such a HUGE sale and I couldn’t resist the urge to get a couple things for myself.  I have been IN LOVE with stripes lately and purchased this sweater, which was the greatest decision ever.  It was originally $54.95, but after my discounts, this cozy beauty was less than $7! I mean really guys…how could I say ‘no’ to that?

I am ALL about versatility when it comes to my outfits.  If I can style an item at least 2-3 different ways, I am pretty much sold on the product.  How about you?  I played around with this sweater and found that I can basically wear this for every occasion – day or night.  Here’s two ways I would wear my latest $7 splurge. 🙂

[DAY TIME LOOK]
Sweater: GAP
Pink Collared Button Down: Thrifted
Mini Skirt: Forever21
Heart Necklace and bangles: Forever21
Watch: Michael Kors
Ankle Boots: DSW
Top Bun Hair: Styled by Mama Linh 🙂

Instead of wearing a white or denim collar buttoned down, I opted for this thrifted top that’s been hiding in my closet.  A little different, but it matched my bangles and I love it.  It’s a little preppy, a bit edgy (thanks to the ankle boots), and all RAWR style.  Oh, and my top bun has made her debut.  My hubby calls me Pebbles (from the Flintstones) because I often sport this hairstyle. 🙂  Where would you wear this look to?

[NIGHT TIME LOOK]
Sweater: GAP
Skirt: BCBG
Necklace: Forever21
Clutch: Vintage
Shoes: Nine West

So, let’s play make believe.  If I had a nice event to attend, say a romantic dinner, an evening with the in-laws, or a holiday party, I would wear this.  Who knew you could tuck in sweaters and it would look good?  Well, surprise surprise. 🙂 I dusted off my heels and paired it with this outfit to complete my look.  Love the ribbons and the different ways I can tie them.  Can you see yourself wearing this look anywhere?

My lovelies,  the weekend is here and I plan on spending it cuddling with my little one and eating some cake.  I will definitely post an update on my Operation Get Fit since I didn’t do one for this week.  So, stay tuned!  This weekend, do something nice for yourself!  Go get a manicure or a massage.  Do some online retail therapy.  Watch your favorite movie with a glass of wine.  Be good to yourself loves…because according to RAWR Rule #24: You are so worth it.

    I just stumbled across your blog and I’m obsessed! Love how you styled these two outfits with the sweater. They’re so different but both are so darn cute!
    I bout a navy sweater during the Gap sale and I can’t wait to wear it more often now thanks to your style inspiration 🙂
    Stay warm!
