All the Rage // Graphic Cardigans

We're finally starting to call it sweater weather around here and one of the best parts about that is the thought of cozying up in an oversized cardigan. While I just pulled my solid standbys to the front of my closet, I've also had my eye on a couple of these bold graphic cardigans that all the cool kids seem to be wearing. I like the throwback nod to some of the sweaters I still keep that were worn by my parents in the 70s. Concerned these latest patterns might be a little too trendy? Fear not. They can be inexpensively sourced and worn without regret all season long. Something tells me you'll become fast friends and have a hard time parting before Summer anyway.

My picks were found on the cheap right here.  But I also spotted a bunch here, here, here and here.

Check Me Out

Sometimes seasonal trends don't resonate with what I happen to be feeling at the moment. Then there are other times when they really hit the mark. I'm pretty taken with everything in Zara's Fall Collection right now. The edgy designs in plaid, tartan, checked and houndstooth patterns all bring me back to a time in the past when I was naively confident in just about everything I attempted (in the special way only an 16 year old can be), thought I knew exactly what I wanted in life and had big, big plans for my future (as in I'm going to be the next Katie Couric kind of plans).  

I may not be looking for a career in broadcast journalism, but I find that these days, I am really looking to get back to my roots in some respects and recreate the kind of verve (and nerve) I once had. Fall to me is all about renewal and I say that there is no better time to shake it up and pull myself out of a rut.  I'm certainly gonna be sure I'm dressed for the part.

Fall Snack

The air is turning colder and auburn colored maple leaves now blanket the front lawn. Feeling like grabbing my handbag and heading out for a little fall snack...
