Recently my sister was getting rid of a bunch of clothes and while most of it was stuff that was “too young” or unfortunately, too small for me, there were a few diamonds in the rough. I found this argyle sweater in there, and I snatched it up right away. I actually have another argyle sweater (see HERE) that I got super cheap at Target like 7 years ago that I wear from time to time and every time I wear it, for some odd reason, I get a lot of compliments…so I scooped this one out of the give-away bag. We’ll see if it has the same effect! So far so good.
The thin stitch through the grey, white, and black of the sweater is hot pink, which means this is the perfect opportunity to wear my hot pink bubble necklace without it being overbearing, a skinny pink belt and pink oversized studs. In order to take some of the prep out of the outfit, I decided to go with ripped white skinnies, but kept it classy with some black wedges. On another day, I might wear this same outfit with my chucks – we’ll see.
OK – so the white skinnies: when is it OK to wear white pants? Is before Memorial Day fine? I think so. I spoke with my mom about this because I wasn’t 100% sure it was alright to do, but we decided that fashion has changed. It much less rigid than what it used to be; mixing colors and prints and styles is an everyday things now (for me) so some white jeans a few weeks before Memorial Day on a warm spring day is completely acceptable in my book!
