What to Wear Now: The Short Sleeve Sweater

in Style on 09/19/18

Floral sweater

 

 

I have been loving going on weekend trips lately and have been wearing some short sleeved sweaters during some of those trips. It’s not quite fall weather yet so I feel like it’s the perfect transitioning outfit. In this post I am wearing one paired with a denim skirt which makes for an easy, effortless and fun look!

This top could easily pass for a designer brand, but it’s super affordable (Forever 21!) sadly, it’s sold out as I post this, I couldn’t find it anywhere anymore 😩so I’m linking similar ones on the widgets below.

A short sleeved sweater could be worn with almost anything from skirts to jeans, it’s even great to wear to work with a pair of slacks. It is so easy to layer too, wether you’re dressing up or down, just throw in a jacket or a cardigan, and boom you’re done.

One of the things I like about a short sleeved sweater is that it usually is made of a warmer material so it’s perfect for temps like higher 60’s to upper 70’s so you can stay warm, but at the same time, not too warm that your arms can be exposed and it would still feel comfortable to wear outside. I’m telling you it will look amazing on almost any type of look.

This sweater also creates a more youthful vibe as most come in fun designs, print and graphic details like this one I have on. My favorites are flowers, stripes and even lace! 😍

I can’t really think of any negatives for a short sleeved sweater, maybe some of them ran a few sizes small so size up when choosing one as they tend to rise up from the back. Breathable and loose fabrics usually have a more relaxed fit and forgiving on trouble areas so take note of that.

Do you wear short sleeved sweaters? How do you wear it? Let me know on the comments below! 😊

      Yes! I know right? It’s one of those things that has been around forever and that doesn’t really get much attention. It should though. Thanks babe 😊

    That short sleeve sweater does look like it could be designer! I really love the yellow flowers on it and how you styled it with the denim skirt. This is something I need to add to my wardrobe for the in-between season time.

Great hair is totally achievable at any age!💗👌#ad Great hair is totally achievable at any age!💗👌#ad As I get older I notice my hair thinning in certain areas, and it’s definitely not as it used to be.. My long hair is totally my pride and joy with it’s volume and strength, and thanks to @champohaircare it’s super easy to have thick, volumized hair whatever stage of life I may be😘

The Pitta Volume System includes a Volumizing shampoo and Conditioner, as well as a growth serum that slows hair loss while promoting fuller hair🤗In a 2022 study, 90% of participants saw less hair loss, 400% had stronger hair and 88% saw visibly thicker and fuller hair! Talk about outstanding!

My fave is the growth serum, it smells really good and has key ingredients like Caffeine that delays hair shedding and promotes follicular activity!🤎The best part, this brand, is made of 98% natural ingredients, is vegan and cruelty free and is sustainably focused👌👏

I loved the scones, and not to mention their incredible staff will make sure you’re taken cared off🤗Special mention to Ahmet who made our visit incredibly special, we bonded over Turkish dramas, Orange county and all things London😍🇬🇧🇬🇧And oh definitely come with an empty stomach as they will definitely fill you up😋😋🫖😁

📍Mercado de San Miguel- for tapas crawls, a must see and taste for any tourist👌
📍Plaza Mayor- the heart of Madrid, lots of restaurants, and unique shops a must see at night😊
📍Arroceria Marina Ventura- for the best paella, 45 mins to wait for it though fyi
📍Retiro park- the best place to walk off all that tapas, huge park with kayak, flower gardens and lounging
📍See a Flamenco show- highly recommend Tableo Flamenco 1911 for the amazing talent, it is the oldest and most renowned in Madrid💃

Monaco is truly a stunning place!😊👌😍The perfect co Monaco is truly a stunning place!😊👌😍The perfect condition of almost everything you see is just a wonder for the eyes!😍I love the colors of the buildings and the lux atmosphere is something that I can only dream about😉This Billionaire’s playground is really something to see for yourself!!😁

We did a couple of days in Monaco, here are some tips for those who want to visit:

1. The streets are fairly empty past 6pm on a Monday, in Spring, like everything, or most places were closed
2. You need a passport/national ID to enter some places like the Casino (for foreign nationals)
3. On Sundays most retail places, even the luxury ones are closed
4. Limited choices to restaurants unlike other areas of Southern France or Italy
5. It’s about an hour plus drive (even more with traffic) if you are staying in the French Riviera (we stayed in Nice) so plan ahead

Have you ever been to Monaco?😊💕💕
