opposites attract -- sequins and sweaters.


COVETING: J. Crew Boyfriend Fatigue Jacket
www.jcrew.com; $168
This charming little jacket is just what I'm craving right now.  The perfect juxtaposition to a flirty chiffon dress or a paired with denim for a casual look, I love the rugged fabric and easy shape of this jacket.  Although it would be the perfect light topper for spring, I can already imagine layering it under winter coats for a little extra warmth.


I've always loved the interplay between pieces that are paired unexpectedly.  Chunky sweaters and leather leggings.  Boyfriend jeans and strappy heels.  And, my current favorite inspiration, cozy oversized sweaters paired with glamorous sequined mini skirts.  Like my friend Erika, I'm totally enamored with this combination for winter.  Perfect with a pair of opaque tights and booties or bare legs if you live in a warmer climate, this look is chic for going out but incredibly comfortable and cozy for a date night in.

What a pretty contrast! I love sequins paired with casual pieces, and sweaters are the perfect way to dress them down a bit.
