On our way to Nashville last Friday I threw on this comfy chenille ruffle sleeve sweater with my favorite pair of black high-waisted jeans and slip on boots. This mauve color is my favorite right now. I wanted to be comfortable but ready to hang out in Nashville once we got there without feeling the need to change. It was also FREEZING and this sweater kept me so warm! I find myself a little on the fence most every year when it comes to new trends in the fashion world. But I am 100% backing the chenille sweater/cardigan and bell/ruffle sleeve trends. Not sure I can get on board with white booties… but give me time. The boots that I’m wearing in these photos are . They are $16.97 and I still cannot believe where I found them….

Nate saw me eyeing this cornfield and pulled over without hesitation to snap a few pictures. I had briefly mentioned that I liked my outfit and that it would be dark when we got to Nashville. Thankfully, he’s one of those mind reader husbands. It was getting colder by the second as the sun was dipping behind the trees while we took these. I swear I thought I was smiling in them but in reality my RBF is telling the true tale of how cold I am. HA. This sweater is one of the few new pieces that I’ve added to my closet while trying to revive/remix with some older items I hardly ever wear. I have a post coming soon talking a little bit about how I’m rethinking my closet and making the most of what I already have while maintaining and creating content for a blog with a fashion/style component to it.
What are your thoughts on trends? Do you usually find yourself gravitating toward them or continuing to wear the same style?
