C3 Collection Cashmere Bow Intarsia Crewneck Sweater

One word:  Cashmere.  Yummmm.  I'm adoring this loose grey sweater because it is effortlessly chic!  The fashion world calls this the "boyfriend fit" because the fabric isn't clinging to every inch of you...yet I call this the "normal fit".  The simple bow detail on front isn't too childish and you can pair this sweater with jeans, slacks, skirts.  And simply put your hair up in a bun and you're ready!

7 For All Mankind Jeans-Skinny Sateen in Sapphire

'Tis the Season for Christmas trees, Christmas lights, and Holiday parties...not looking forward to donning a dress and showing off your pasty white, Oregonian legs?  Have I got the solution for you!  I adore these 7 For All Mankind Jeans-Skinny Sateen in Sapphire, not only because they are PANTS and not the typical how-short-can-you-go-and-still-call-it-"fashion"-dress, but because they are BLUE!  Not only blue, but sapphire.

At first glance they seem to resemble the classic skinny jean but upon closer inspection you will notice that they are a cotton/spandex blend, which is very forgiving while gorging out on holiday treats.  I almost don't want to call them "pants" but trousers because they are that sophisticated.  Pair with an airy blouse or sparkly top and heels, or dress it down by wearing a cute cotton shirt or sweater with kitten heels or flats...I am getting SO excited just writing about these jeans!
