One Sweater, Two Ways

When I first saw this sweater, I was immediately drawn to the color block. When it arrived, I second-guessed it a bit and debated sending it back for a solid. I was worried that it wouldn't be as versatile. But I'm so happy I kept the bold color, I've gotten so many compliments and have worn it multiple times (in multiple ways) over the past few weeks!

 

 

Aside from the bold color, the other great thing about this sweater is it's not even the least bit scratchy. I love chunky sweaters, but I have a tendency to break out in red splotches if anything scratches by neck or chest. So it's hard to wear wool or wool blends unless I layer up with crew neck t-shirts underneath. I wore this sweater to work the other day with not even a tank underneath and went itch-free! 

I love the way it pairs with jeans, black slouchy pants, leggings (for snuggling on the couch) and my current favorite boots/skirt combination. If the color block isn't your thing, it also comes in some really pretty solid fall colors. Take a peek through the link below! (Also, see my last post for another great Free People sweater; more options linked at the bottom of this post. I'm obsessing over FP sweaters this season!)
