east vs west style. oversized knits.

this week's trend is definitely my favorite. i wear oversized sweaters year round, and i look forward to fall as an excuse to add a few new ones to the wardrobe. surprisingly, i've never owned a plain black sweater, so this one made sense. i'll definitely get a lot of wear out of this versatile sweater.

hope you've been enjoying the series so far. what's been your favorite week?

the cowl neck sweater.

turtleneck sweaters are perfect for fall's chilly weather. i love the look of them and found this sleeveless sweater to be a great alternative for our warmer weather. unfortunately, turtlenecks can be overwhelming on petite frames and can actually make us look shorter, so here are a few easy ways to make it work:

1. instead of a true turtleneck, opt for a cowl neck. it drapes at the chest and lengthens the body.

2. pair it with fitted pants that are slightly wider at the bottom to balance the fullness at the neck.

3. or, pair the oversized sweater with shorts (if you're covered up on top, it's ok to show some skin on the bottom,

and vice versa).

4. keep the look simple and unfussy.

skip the statement jewelry and let the neckline be the focus. 

are you a fan of turtlenecks?

how do you make it work for you?
