Improvising

Blazer: thrifted (similar: onetwothreefourfive)  |  Top: Old Navy (similar: onetwo)
Cardigan: Tilly’s (shop, see here for lots of other options)  |  Jeans: Ann Taylor
Boots: Dolce Vita via Macy’s (see here for options)

Sooo, forgive me, I’m a little slow sometimes.  I wanted to recreate this layered look, but I didn’t have similar tops or a pullover sweater.  What I drew from it, though, was pairing a plaid shirt with a sweater in a similar color.  That solved the color problem, but the other problem was that I didn’t have a pullover sweater in a color similar to any of my plaid shirts.  Well, I don’t have many pullover sweaters, period.  (Just two striped ones.)  I can’t seem to find the right ones for myself, but I have a growing collection of cardigans.  Then I finally realized that I could do a similar effect by keeping my cardigan buttoned up!  Duh for some of you, but newsflash to me.  (I said I’m a little slow.)  Perhaps I’m a little too thrilled that I got to recreate the look without having to buy a pullover.  Whoop whoop!
