Fall Style: The Cardigan









Nordstrom Cardigan (NOW ON SALE FOR $28!) || Abercrombie & Fitch Plaid Button Down (similar plaid shirt ~ now on sale!) || Ann Taylor Skinny Jeans || Cole Haan Boots || Target Hat || Coach Tote || Ray Ban Aviator Sunglasses

Life has been just a bit more than crazy as of late.  With work, the blog and our volunteer work, it seems Shawn and I have little time to do anything in between except sleep (and we're not even doing much of that until close to midnight).  As a result, Shawn booked us a weekend getaway just north of the city in Lake Geneva.  It has become one of our favorite spots to escape life and get ourselves grounded again.  We had such an incredible time together.  I'm so glad to spend quality alone time with him.  #ILoveMyMan :) 

As a side note, the weather officially became scary cold Saturday.  If you can believe it, there were even talks of "light flurries." Yikes, y'all!  To layer and keep cozy in the cold temperatures, I've been investing in more and more open sweaters this fall.  I love this one from Nordstrom.  It's super cozy and comfy - a combination I simply cannot turn away.  It paired perfectly with flannel, fedora and casual booties.  

What items are you investing in this fall/winter to keep warm and stylish?

<<GIVEAWAY ALERT!>> We're hosting a $100 Nordstrom gift card giveaway today on Instagram! Check it out to shop your favorite fall trends! 

XOXO,
Anna

    1. It's crazy, right? I can't even talk about it! It's so depressing. Let's hope that is not a sign of things to come! :) The sweater is so great! I have been searching for a great chunky open cardigan for the last few weeks, but Shopbop, were too expensive or overly big for my short frame. I was so glad to find this one at Nordstrom for such a great price. :)

    1. Sarah, I think you will love it! It's really soft and definitely cozy. I think it will look great belted, too. I had been searching for the last several weeks for one also, but most of the ones I loved were so expensive. I was so happy to run across this one at Nordstrom. I hope you had a great weekend! XO

  19. I'm all about big cozy sweaters and scarves. It got really cold here on Saturday too, only because it was the first cold day, I loved it, but soon I'll be screaming for warm weather! Love your outfit as always!
