Neutral Knitwear - Penny Pincher Fashion

One of my personal goals for 2021 is to shop at small businesses more often – if there’s anything that the last year has taught us, it’s that smaller stores need our support now more than ever. So, I’m excited to introduce you today to a new-to-me online shop called Petal + Pup that has a boutique feel & offers a well-curated selection of on-trend styles that I think you will love!

I chose my favorite neutral sweaters from their site & created 3 different outfits with them below. The quality of these pieces blew me away (even my husband commented on them…and he never notices stuff like that!). The best part is that they have graciously offered a discount for all of you too – just use code PPF15 to get 15% off your order through the end of January! Now let’s get into the looks…

This super-soft waffle knit cardigan is basically like wearing a cozy robe – if you live in a milder climate, you can wear this out & about without a coat or you could pair it with a cropped tee, joggers & slippers for a comfy work-from-home look. This has a very generous fit, so I recommend going down at least one size (also comes in black, grey, mint or rust).

I also fell in love with this modern pearl necklace – the toggle & chunky chain give it a modern feel & it’s just the right length to wear with just about any neckline. This looks so much more expensive in person…but you won’t believe the price! They have so many great accessories on their site like this paperclip chain necklace, this croc bag, these chunky hoop earrings (wearing below) & this faux leather scrunchie.

What I’m wearing:
c/o Petal + Pup Cardigan, BP Cami Bodysuit,
Abercrombie & Fitch Jeans, Similar Boots,
Similar Bag, c/o Petal + Pup Necklace,
Similar Hoops, BaubleBar Ring

This ribbed mockneck is basically the perfect camel sweater – the back is slightly longer so there’s enough coverage to wear with leggings & it has an easy swingy shape that you can leave out or front tuck into your favorite jeans. I just love the combo of camel & ivory in the winter, so I opted for this monochrome pairing. Like the cardigan, this has a looser fit to it, so I’d size down unless you like it extra roomy.

What I’m wearing:
Similar Coat (here or here), c/o Petal+ Pup Sweater,
Gap Jeans (similar), Similar Boots (here or here),
c/o Petal + Pup Hoops, BaubleBar Ring
Lips: Maybelline Caramel Collector,
Nails: Essie PR Stunt

This sweater was definitely my favorite of the bunch – it looks exactly like this popular Free People style that’s been everywhere this season…but at a lower price point (don’t forget to use code PPF15 for an extra 15% off!). I think the detail of the knit makes it look so high-end and the voluminous sleeves are just so fun! This is definitely a cropped sweater, so you’ll want to wear it with high-waisted bottoms. This also comes in grey & the prettiest pastel blue (would be so chic with white jeans!).
