It’s not really cool enough here for a sweater (81 degrees today), but I couldn’t wait any longer. How many months in a row can a woman wear a tank top?? So I made a cozy, casual outfit and stayed happy near the air conditioning all day. It’s actually freezing cold in the back room of the thrift store where I volunteer, so I was totally content.
The gorgeous green vee-neck sweater is courtesy of J. Jill. Check them out, they have an abundance of easy knits – tops and bottoms – that feel as good as they look. This sweater is a new favorite, as it’s one of my best colors, as soft as a kitten, and washable. The bib necklace (sim) is thrifted. These boyfriend jeans are my go-to pair, via Old Navy (sim).
The super-comfortable booties are also c/o J. Jill. They are made by Born, a true and long-standing comfort brand. I can wear them with or without hose, and they feel great. In the second picture I added a newly thrifted scarf (sim). I think green and purple are smart together, don’t you?
I love a longer sweater like this one, that hits just below the hips.
A colorful scarf is an indispensable accessory, especially when most of your closet is neutrals.
Stay fabulous, cozy, and casual,

Great look on you. And that scarf.. what a clever find. Purple with green. Of course they match. I knew that. (But forgot along the way).

I love green and purple together! These colours look great on you and I’m glad you found a way to wear your kitteny-soft sweater in comfort. Hahaha. Creative thinking. Happy New Year!!
Thanks Melanie – and glorious new year to you. xo
Green and purple is one of my favourite colour combinations! I think I would miss not being able to wear cozy sweaters for at least part of the year ( a couple of months would be fine with me). Happy New Year Patti!
Happy New Year to you too Shelley – hope to see you in 2016. xo
81 degrees?! Don’t you ever get a chance to stop shaving your legs?
I love green and purple together, and the tones you picked are perfect. Your hair is looking very cool, too!
Shaving legs, is that a thing? : > thanks, Val. xo
I love JJill. They have some great pieces in the current collection. I really like my knit pencil skirts and have worn them often this fall. Your sweater is one of my favorite colors…hope you get to wear it more in the winter months. Happy New Year, Patti!
thanks Pam – I love a knit pencil skirt too. xo
Great color on you! I love pretty scarves and just added a few more during my trip.
