Re-Wear It: Striped Cardigan

It’s been a minute since I did a re-wear it post but TBH getting dressed hasn’t been something I’ve done much of for the last, I don’t know, 6 months. But I bought myself a few fall pieces last week including the most perfect cropped striped cardigan so here we are.

When J.Crew’s fall arrivals came out, it was immediately my number one pick so I ran to the store and shopped in person for the first time since March to try it on. The sweater fits oversized and I’m in between sizes at J.Crew so I sized down on this one. It also comes in navy with white stripes, solid, and leopard (all 40% off today).

And because I know someone will say something, please excuse my one unkempt nail… I had a gel manicure and peeled it off which is very unlike me!

Note: I know that this series was intended to focus on old items in my closet but I haven’t pulled out my fall wardrobe yet and I felt really excited about this cardigan. If you’ve seen something in my closet that you want me to re-wear for next month, let me know!

Outfit 1: Drinks with Friends

I have this slip skirt in three colors because it’s just so perfect (pink version styled 5 ways here). I love the fit and simplicity of it and how it can be dressed way up or way down. I recently got the leopard version which is perfect for pattern-mixing with stripes, IMO. This is an outfit that I’ll wear over and over again this fall.

Outfit 2: Work from Home

On the days when I’m really feeling feisty, I’ll get this dressed up for WFH. I’m usually in leggings and a tee but sometimes for Zoom calls or when I want to feel extra productive, I go all out and actually throw on a pair of jeans (boyfriend jeans only at this point, let’s be honest!) and a headband to cover the hair I probably didn’t brush.
