cozy and chic
I bought this mossimo sweater last year & had totally forgotten about it until recently. Are you guys guilty of having garments in your closet with the price tags still on them? I hate to admit this, but I am so guilty of this. My husband can’t understand how that is possible. If he buys clothing, it is worn pretty much immediately. I think this is how most men are, no? Anyways, this reminds me of husband and wife cliche convo I hear about from friends pertaining to new things-
boyfriend/husband– ” is that new?-” girlfriend/wife- no it’s old.” (a lie)
l.o.l
Soo, on the day of this photo shoot my husband said, “You look good in that dress. Is it new?”
“No- it’s old” I replied. Two points I would now like to make-
1) Technically that is not a lie because it isn’t new it has been sitting in my closet for over a year~and I did I cut the tags off recently. I guess some would say that is still new, because you never wore it. Hmph. It’s a is the glass of water half empty or half full thing.
2) This is not a dress! It is actually a sweater- in extra large XL! I do that often- I buy shirts or sweaters oversized because they look so effortless as a dress.
The small in this dress would not have been able to have been worn as a dress at all- it fell right below the underwear line. That’s a lot of more fabric from a small to xl. I love how this sweater looks so cozy. Pairing it with these flat gladiator sandals give it a cozy but bold vibe. It’s an outfit you’d wear on a slightly chilly day. Perfect for fall weather or right now! Fall or that 1 month transition from spring to summer- (mid may- mid june) = sweater weather.
black aviators and a couple of investment piece accessories make always make an outfit chic.
Hope you are enjoying this weather as much as I am right now!

thanks lauren! xo!
I sure love a big sweater worn as a dress, and yours looks terrific. I’ve never found one so long though and always have to go with leggings.
Funny about having unworn ‘new/old’ things in your closet! I too am guilty of it, but so is my husband. He says he likes to have something ‘fresh’ to wear when he needs it, so keeps a stash of a few basics.
thanks loulou! xO!
ah what a great idea! how do you get around the width of the sweater though? presumably it sizes up along with the length 🙂 love the assymetric knit lines!
