Casual Friday

Embellished Cardigan: Vintage; Striped Tee: Mari's; Jeggings: F21;
Loafers: Cole Haan Outlet; Lincoln/Penny Bracelet: Gift from Kathryn; Necklace: Thrifted

I have tons of items in my wardrobe that I can't bear to part with, but also seldom wear - and one of my  fall goals is to reevaluate the things in my closet.

THE CARDIGAN: I bought this cardigan at an antique mall in Michigan and knew that I couldn't live without it, but after owning it for more than a year, I realized I never wear it. It is pretty loud, thus hard to style, and before I removed the lining it felt too boxy and didn't really slink on my shoulders the right way. I'm really working to style this cardi without it over-powering my look, and I'm pretty happy with the outcome. Any comments or ideas for how else to style this cardigan?

THE BRACELET: This bracelet was a gift from Kathryn and I was really touched by just how thoughtful it was. Growing up in The Land of Lincoln, and longing for my Lincoln-loving alma mater, this bracelet adorned with Lincoln's penny profile is a constant reminder of how much I love Illinois regardless of my location. I usually shy away from bracelets since I'm doing things with my hands most of the day, but I have really been into wearing this one lately. Thank you Kathryn!
