the sezane barry cardigan

thankful.

howdy friends! gosh it has been a while and i can barely believe we’re here. Thanksgiving week already!!!! it’s so shocking. this year flew by a little too quickly - maybe a sign of age 👵side ramblings after the jump.

i’m thrilled to continue my partnership with Sézane! here i’m kicking off sweater weather (feels so good and normal to wear these now!) with the barry cardigan. while i own the iconic gaspard cardigan, i picked out the sister style; the barry cardigan in this beautiful lilac color. sometimes lilac can be tricky but the tone (not too cool) on this one is perfect for my fair skintone. the only difference between the gaspard and the barry is the neckline, the barry has a v-neck button front — which can also be worn backwards as well for a subtle sexy v-back look. i did try it and while no photos, i can ensure you that it’s a good look to try! i opted to pair this with some navy wide leg pants (looks black in the photos though) and really love the contrast of the colors together — def give this color combo a go sometime! if you’re feeling bold, i’d style it with green or light pink pants as well! as always, picking the one color in this cardigan was H A R D. because there are so many pretty ones for all the seasons! #lifedecisions ya know?

lately i’ve been going for tops over dresses at Sézane for some reason! i’m a total dress gal. but i’ve been gravitating towards their sweaters, shirts, and jackets lately. some others i picked out include, c/o Sézane:

  • betty cardigan (in black/ecru, size S) — HELLO CLASSY LADY. that’s what this cardigan screams! i also have this cardigan in rosewood… so that tells you something 😁

  • will jacket (in khaki, size XS) — this is such a unique and versatile jacket (with DEEP pockets which i LOVE). i wore it out this weekend with white jeans + white graphic tee, and i can see it draped over an athleisure outfit or even belted over a skirt or dress (will be trying this soon!). it comes in all sorts of textures, colors, and patterns. so again, good luck choosing! i did size down to an XS on this one though :)

  • tomboy shirt (in ecru/camel stripes, size 4) — one of the Sézane reps wore this when they were in Austin this summer and i loved it on her. it’s such a classic button down that i’ll be styling with white jeans!

#blackfriday: alright alright alright. here we go with some black friday sales. i think i’ll continue to update this section as the week goes on but lots of sales have already started, much earlier this year if feels like?! i’m keeping it pretty slim this year, there’s not a ton i really want (or need; but that’s a fine line right?!) so here are some that top my list:

the puff sleeve sweater & black friday 2020

the only thing puffy we like are puffy sleeves. oh, and puffy tacos.

here we are, the week of Thanksgiving! crazy to think how this year has flown by but yet also stood still. i’ve been on a kick lately to buy tops. mainly because… WFH situation LOL. i’ve always been a dress kinda gal but feel way too dressed up WFH in it. this casual crewneck was perfect since it has a little puff sleeve detail and you know ya gal is all about the puff sleeve! i sized down to an XS since it’s ribbed (stretches) and maybe could’ve gone S if i wanted it longer. puff sleeves always adds a fun, feminine touch and sometimes dramatic enough to make a statement. i also added a pearl headband my blogger bestie convinced me to try! glad i did. it goes perfectly with the sweater and makes a great casual holiday look and for family photos too! lastly, the denim — i’ve had these for a while and they’re a good option when you’re looking for a hybrid of straight and skinny jeans. and they’re a button fly so i’m down! something about the button fly that always looks better than zippers.

side ramblings: i finished @schittscreek and it was AMAZING. i was on the fence about it but thank goodness my BFF told me to keep watching until the end of season two. i cried, i laughed, and fell in love with all the characters. to me, it was a show about acceptance, growing up, and navigating trying times. so it was perfect for 2020. i wish they’d make more seasons, but gotta quit while you’re ahead! i started watching @thegoodplace since it’s by the same people as @brooklyn99 and it’s interesting so far. looks like #blackfriday is starting early this year?! confused but okay with it 😄 i rounded up some deals & picks after the jump and may update it as the week progresses! xx
