Slouchy Knits

Although my busy schedule has me running around, I always make time to look presentable. It takes the same amount of time to put on a nice outfit as it does to put on a crummy outfit. When I'm pressed for time, I gravitate towards pieces that are easy and casual, like this slouchy top from the Gap that I'm wearing. I paired it with this a-line skirt from Loft. I had been stalking this skirt, debating whether or not to purchase it, and I'm so glad that I did. My favorite part about this skirt is the soft, stretchy knit material. It's too bad that the store ran out of my size though.

Do you have a go to piece for the days when you're in a time crunch?

I have always preferred wearing knits over chunky wool sweaters. There's something about the bulkiness, the weight, the heat trapping material that has always made me uncomfortable, so I'd say that sweater cardigans are a compromise. This one from Gap is soft and cozy, and since it's a cardigan, I don't have to worry about getting too hot since it's open.

This picture makes me think of TLC's song "Creep."

Crochet Sweater and Floral Shorts

I wore this a few weeks ago when it was still warm enough to wear shorts and too hot to wear a sweater. I almost forgot I had these shorts. I found them in the back of my closet, and figured the bright floral print would compliment my crocheted sweater, and GH Bass oxfords.

I'm in love with this sweater and pair of pants. They're super comfortable. I wore a bright pink shirt under the sweater to brighten up the outfit. And as much as I love a good statement necklace, sometimes I opt not to wear one to keep it simple. What do you think? Does this outfit look better with the necklace or without as shown in the picture below?
