Open Knit Sweater 3 Ways: October Sunday Showcase

October 1, 2023 /

I always struggle when shopping retail: am I contributing to the fast fashion industry with my buying habits and my love of shopping? I really have tried to thrift more this year and to give myself some shopping breaks to shop my closet, but I still have shopped retail here and there. There are a few places I do not shop for clothes, the 2 top ones being TEMU (those prices sure are coming at the detriment of someone) and SheIn. Yes, I still purchase from Target, Old Navy and other places but I really have been trying to limit those excursions. Today, I am sharing a sweater I bought from Brindle Boutique this summer and the reason that I like to share several ways to wear an item is to remind you, that the clothes your purchase and own are meant to be worn. I will say I am not sure where Brindle Boutique gets their clothes and while I collaborate with them, I should ask them some questions as shipping takes a while which often means something is shipped from China. But since I have this sweater, I will be wearing it and wearing it on repeat.

Late Summer/Early Fall

Since the sweater is a fairly open knit, it is appropriate weight-wise for late summer evenings and early fall weather. I added a Halftee under it here and paired it with my white shorts and sneakers.

I am thinking this sweater will be coming to the beach with me this Thanksgiving.

Color Match

When I thrifted this maxi skirt, I knew right away, I wanted to try it with this sweater. Would it look as good as I thought it would? I was so excited to see how well they worked together!

My booties are about 8 years old from Nordstrom and to this day, I have found another low shaft pair to replace them. They have some wear and tear but not noticeable enough for me to discard them yet!

Later Fall Look

While I do not wear my skinny jeans as often anymore, I still do love them for certain outfits. My black jeans are perfect with the oversized sweater and I elongated the leg with matching booties (these are the Vivaia booties I won in a giveaway last year).

I did not add a tank under the sweater but probably would if I were out and about. I am also thinking it is time to put out my fall porch decor! I need to change out my sign and my wreath!

Apart from special occasion clothes (eg: dress for a special wedding, Christmas day attire), do you always make sure you will be able to style an item several ways?
