Baby Blue Hues

Being an East Coast gal, I know the importance of having an arsenal of chunky knits for this time of the year.

It’s prime-time sweater weather here in New York City.

The leaves are at their colorful peak, there’s a slight chill in the air and I practically refuse to leave the apartment without a hot drink in-hand.

It was particularly gorgeous out in Connecticut, where I spent much of Saturday brunching and catching up with a few friends. The air just smells different out there, you know? What a welcome — albeit brief — change of pace. (There’s a few photos from our road trip on Instagram.)

Over the weekend and even today, I’ve been a total repeat offender. This sweater is to blame.

You’ve seen me in it before (when I styled it over my favorite maxi skirt), so it should come as no surprise to know that it’s my favorite fall knit. I actually have it in a few colors — and it’s on sale at the moment!

For today, I wanted to liven up the soft silhouette, so I paired it with a flared skirt and my favorite booties. I needed a daytime-approved look that’ll work well into the evening hours.

It’s gearing up to be one of those weeks where you leave the house (apartment) very early — when it’s dark — and you don’t get home until late — aaand it’s dark.

Oh, Daylight Saving’s time… I f—ing hate you.
