Faux Winter

The above sweater is full of contradictions.  It has dressy sparkley with small sequins, yet is paired with jeans. It is a cozy turtle neck, yet has open "cold" shoulders.  It is long as in tunic, looks warm and a winter white/grey color. So is it winter or what? Yesterday's delivery and I love it.

I saw it last week on Deborah's site "Fabulous After 40" on her Leather Pants Styled 3 Ways post. She described the sweater this way:

For this shoot, I’ve paired them with this very pretty cold shoulder turtleneck in a beautiful Grey Heather color. I think this sweater is a really cool idea. They’ve taken a very traditional cable knit sweater and given it a sexy twist by creating a peek-a-boo cut-outs at the shoulders.

This sweater has tiny bits of silver running through, giving it a subtle sparkle, and making it perfect for holiday time.  It glistens, and in white (the other color it comes in), it reminds me of glistening snow. Very pretty.

I purchased it from Nordstom's during there "Friends" promotions last week  and it arrived yesterday. It is beautiful and perfect for the cool Florida nights.  A simulance to something worn for winter but definitely making a statement - Bold.  I tried it on with an older Banana Republic grey leather A-line skirt and they make a great combination. This skirt is actually the same gray as the  purse. A nice flirty look to the whole outfit.  It is a dress up and dress down item.  

The Talbot's Jeans are my every day jeans.  A nice comfortable fit and cut. I wear a size 8 or sometimes 10, petite.   

I am considering ordering the Dooney Bucket Bag simply because of the beautiful grey color it comes in.  it also is on sale this week at the Dooney site (179.00). I will driving past one of their Factory Outlet stores later this week and will check there before ordering.
