What To Wear For Fall: The Color Block Sweater

in Style on 09/26/18

Color block sweater

 

 

I have been seeing a lot of color pop on sweaters lately, in particular, color blocking. It’s such an cool trend on the usual (if not sometimes boring?) sweater which has rarely evolved into something else, apart from the sleeves, textures, fit and etc, it is still a basic sweater.

Now if you’re not into the  “ugly sweater” variety but still want a bit of versatility on this fall staple, I highly suggest you go for this design. I absolutely love color and stripes, so this marriage is a match made in heaven for me. This one I have on is so lightweight, just the right amount of warmth so I am still able to pull it off with a mini skirt 😊

This Sweater H&M get it here similar ones here and here (more options on the widget below) Skirt Billabong similar ones here and here 

Booties Dolce Vita similar ones here and here Sunnies Quay Australia similar one here

What I like about this sweater style is that you can spot someone wearing it a mile away. I am not kidding.  😉I spotted this one in the store and made a beeline to it. Which makes it a perfect top for the airport or crowded areas as it’s easy to find someone wearing big multicolored stripes on them. 😊

It has not been that much cooler here in the OC where I am so pairing a sweater with a cute mini skirt and some booties totally works! I chose to wear an animal print mini as animal print is so hot right now it’s literally everywhere! I love leopard and cheetah prints (don’t worry they’re always faux!) as they usually go with anything. It makes an outfit edgy and suddenly fierce!

I wore a pair of neutral colored booties to top this look as it makes all the colors more cohesive and it definitely makes that maroon in the sweater pop. A pair of black boots/booties will work too as the animal print skirt I have on has some black in it. The key in having a more ‘put together’ look is to find colors/patterns that are or somewhat the same and that totally makes an amazing outfit!

Don’t forget to play with textures and accessories for that icing on top of the cake! I would do a light brown suede jacket to go with this look, or a leather jacket will do too if you’re feeling some rockstar vibes. 😉 Either way, layering up during this transitional weather makes it so fun to play with different pieces of clothing, and you may already have these in your closet. 😊

I would also totally wear this sweater with jeans, leggings or sometimes even a maxi skirt. You know those days when you want your legs to feel free but it’s freakin’ cold outside? Throw in a maxi skirt with this sweater and all is well. It makes for an artsy look too 😉

 

Color block sweater

 

I would love some yellow and orange colors of color block sweaters as this makes a stark contrast in the sometimes blah weather that this season can bring. We can all use more brightening things in our lives don’t you agree? As for neutral colors, they are always a mainstay in my closet just like this cute sweater.

Whatever you choose, color block sweaters is a fun way to start the Fall season wether you are in jeans or a skirt. This trend is here to stay. What do you think yay or nay? 😉

    I have the same sweater from H&M with different colors and I love it! I’m tempted to buy it in the color you have too. Thank you for the inspiration for styling it. It looks great with the skirt and boots.

Summer vibes in Madrid😊❤️An absolute gastronomic d Summer vibes in Madrid😊❤️An absolute gastronomic delight, this place definitely is a food lover’s paradise!😁Thankful to have experienced it all—before the real heat wave in Europe😁🥵Here are 5 of my must-see spots in Madrid, Spain:

📍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💃

Save this for your next visit😉Have you been to 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?😊💕💕
