Speaking of obsessions, if there’s one thing I’ll always love, it’s huge soft men’s cashmere sweaters. I may have finally grown past my Bébé Rose phase (my faceless, creepy cloth doll that I carried everywhere with me for years), but now I tote these huge sweaters with me everywhere, almost like a more expensive and grown-up security blanky.
To make them work in public, I try to throw them over top of my more femme or bright pieces, like this high-low royal blue dress from Forever 21. Layer a cropped little sweater on top and add a more delicate bag and proportionally, voilà…proportionally, it works!
So I stillll have no idea what to be for Halloween…I mean, what’s wrong with me?! I can whip out a 600-word story in minutes but I can’t come up with a minimally creative costume idea? Pathetic. Have you fully committed to an idea yet?

I love this big cashmere sweater over the highlow dress, such a great balance of masculine and feminine. It looks sooo cozy too!! I can't get enough of big cozy sweaters.
Haha, good luck with your halloween costume! It's hard to come up with ideas last minute I find.

Ha ha, no costume for me this year, so I'm afraid I won't be much help in the idea department – although it's been about three years since I've dressed up, even when I was living in Canada. Yep, I'm definitely the least festive person you know 🙂 I always love your layered looks, pally, especially the ones involving oversized sweaters. You pull them off so well! Miss you, girl!
xox,

Love your layered look! I'm a fan of comfy men sweaters too. I don't know when it comes to sweaters I like chunky and I like knits and softer feeling sweaters.

I could see you being a Greek goddess or fairy or something ethereal like that. But I think it would also be fun to see you as an evil Disney witch character. Like Maleficent!

What a cute skirt! I love the color and the high-low hem! And don't worry, in the winter time I'm definitely wearing my men-like sweaters more than I should, only I don't look as cute in it as you do!
