Change of Heart





I will be completely honest – I wasn’t a big fan of the graphic novelty sweaters/sweatshirts when they first started cropping up.  Though I think they are fun, whimsical & look adorable on others…I didn’t feel that they were really “me”.  Every time I tried one on, I somehow felt that I looked like I’d raided my daughter’s closet.  But, when I found this style at H&M, I fell in love (no pun intended) with the relaxed fit & cozy fabric – it manages to feel girly & modern at the same time.  Needless to say, I think I’ve found my new weekend uniform – you can’t help but smile when wearing a big heart + polka dots.


What I’m wearing:

Forever 21 shirt (similar), H&M sweatshirt (here), Worthington pants (on sale here – runs small), Me Too flats (a few sizes left in pewter here), Forever 21 necklace (here), Mudd glasses (similar), ALDO clutch (on sale here), Lips: Revlon Moon Drops Hot Coral, Nails: Orly Enchanted Forest (similar)

    Personally, I'm not a fan of the graphic print tops either. But it does look good on you, especially the way you styled it! Those pants are SO awesome!!

    Love this!! I totally fell for the J. Crew version of this sweater – I love that I can wear it to work or dress it down for the weekend like you did, as most of the graphic novelty sweaters/shirts can't be worn in dressy situations. Love the polka dot pants!

    Love this! I have totally felt the same about these tops, especially cuties with owls or whatnot, but Adoring this heart and how cozy it looks. Will have to check out. And, yay for necklace twinsies… adore how you styled it.

    How funny I wore my heart sweater today with a denim shirt under for a post. Ill be honest, I was sweatin it until I scrolled down and saw your cute poka dot pants. I do love them with that look:)

    Pants are so cute, and I think that heart on top is such a perfect match. The way you put the necklace and those shoes with it makes it a great overall look.

    Couldn't agree more about this trend-I needed to find something that worked for me and not just make an impulse by because it was becoming popularized. Absolutely love this look-beautiful layering!

    I have also been unconvinced about this trend until seeing you in this post – that's a super cute combination here. I like how you pair it with the glasses (perhaps unintentionally so, I'm blind without my glasses or contacts so it may be more necessity?!) and give it a little playful sophistication too.

    This by far has to be one on my favorite looks you've featured so far! I loooove the cute heart sweatshirt and even more so, I'm obsessed w/ those pants! They're so chic and they look way similar to those Paige Denim jeans I've seen everywhere now but these are soooo much more affordable! <3 !
