Outfit Details: Bringing your Outfit to the Next Level
While I buy some simple pieces here and there and I like my classic denim, when I buy tops and sweaters, I like to buy pieces that have a little bit of a detail that elevates the garment. It could be texture, a sleeve detail, embroidery or like in this case, an embelishment.
The sweater itself is very simple with a crewneck and a loose fit (I bought it in size L). When I tried it on, I loved the fun sleeves with the cutouts and the pearls. Because the embelishments are not at the neck, the sweater is still very versatile. I can wear a scarf with it or a pendant necklace. It can be worn with pants or skirts.
Again, the scarf has details that make it stand out: the color scheme is just gorgeous and the fringe appropriate (not to much, not too little).
I hadn’t worn my embroidered booties in a while, and the colors mirror my scarf. I added some Maggie Snaps to shorten the length of the pants. I did have issues with the magnets on one leg sticking the other one on the other leg, so I ended up removing them.
The gentleman at the Indian Mounds was sweet when I told him I was taking blog pictures. He told me I look like a movie start and he felt like he needed my autograph.

I love that sleeve detail! I try to find and buy tops that have a special detail too.

This sweater is truly unique, Mireille. The cutouts are really cool, but then you add in the pearls, and it’s just fabulous!
Have a wonderful week!

It sure is!

That’s funny about the magnets sticking together. I guess you’d need to put them on the outsides and back instead?? But then you couldn’t cross your legs. Hmmm…I can see how that wouldn’t work.
Love those openings on the sleeves. SO fun and so unique.

I love those booties and the embrodiery detail! How fun! I tend to buy pretty plain clothing too for the most part so I can add embelishments, bags, difrferent footware and so on. I am also loving the sleeve detail in this sweater. Good choice.

Oooo those boots! They are beautiful!!!

A beautiful splurge for me but still less than $100 from a local small business.

I love scarves and the colours in your one are some of my favourites. I’ve never seen embroidered boots but they certainly add a touch of style. This is definitely an outfit I would wear. Have a beautiful week and thanks for sharing #weekendtrafficjamreboot

It’s fairly simple in essence, jeans, boots, sweater, scarf but each fit well with some fun special details. Thanks, Sue!

So sweet of that guy! The pearls are a really cute detail and you’re so right about the piece being more verastile because the embellishment isn’t at the neck. I have a few tops with stuff at the neck but it definitely hinders how much I wear them for that reason. Those boots are so cute!!
Miles of smiles,

Yes, that makes sense with where the embellishments are.
