Men's wear and pearls

Is it just me or are you all pining for fall already? I sure am. This last Monday my baby brother took his senior portraits (ahh) and while I was hunting for the perfect light weight sweater for him to sport with my mom, I had a flash of, what I'm hoping is, fashion genius. I fell in love with the men's sweaters we were looking at and decided pairing them with fitted jeans or chinos, heels, and pearls would be a wonderful fall outfit. What do you think? I am aware that men's wear for women is no new fashion concept, but its one I've never embraced. But mixing in a slightly bigger, baggier sweater with very feminine pieces is a look that could work for me.

Merino crewneck sweater at J.Crew

Knotty Pearls at J.Crew

Cultured Freshwater Pearls at Macy's

LA Coco pearls at Stella and Dot

I must add that this was all inspired by a H&M sweater and freshwater pearls at Target, both of which I can't find online to share. Sorry :( Anyone else have some great ideas for fall trends or updates? I'm counting down until summer's heat simmers down.

  1. Yes! I love menswear! I think that J. Crew sweater would look especially cute with a belt, skirt, tights, and boots in the fall. Hmm...maybe I can convince Josh to buy some awesome sweaters that I could steal from him :)

  3. I've never owned anything cashmere, but it's always seemed like the height of luxury to me.
