Neutrals // Bell Sleeve Bardot Sweater

Sweater: Nordstrom // Skirt: H&M // Bag: Stella McCartney // Shoes: BC Footwear // Lips: Kylie Cosmetics in "Kristen"

I don't consider myself the biggest trend follower, but I'm open to trying out whatever is in fashion as long as I can stay true to my regular style: for example, I love that turtlenecks are back en vogue, I'm obsessed with all things velvet, and I'm down for a pretty choker or two.  There are a few trends that I just won't try out because I know they wouldn't fit into my style (looking at you, perspex boots!)  But I love when designers adapt a closet classic to fit the current trends, making something that is still versatile and wearable at all times, but current.  

Case in point: this off-the-shoulder sweater I picked up at Nordstrom that walks the line between a dusty blush pink and classic nude.  I love the bell sleeves with the slit in the side that allows for range of motion in the arms.  I posted a dressing room snap of this to my Instagram story and I got multiple messages asking about the sweater, so I was really excited to publish this outfit.  I also picked up this simple black wrap skirt at a score of less than $20- wrap skirts are great for petites because you can adjust the size to your liking.  I always have issues with the waists of skirts being loose and needing a belt, so this was perfect and really versatile as well.  

Anyways, happy Sunday, everyone!  Last week was my midterm exams which I was rigorously prepping for and had little time to blog, but now I'm glad to be back.  This is actually the first post in a while that wasn't scheduled and pre-written.  Needless to say, a lot of stress has been lifted off my shoulders with this weekend!  Hope you all have a lovely week ahead of you.
