These Fall Sweaters Are Anything But Boring

Can a girl have too many sweaters? I think not. If you buy one sweater this year, make sure it makes you smile. We all need the basic black turtleneck, but that's not what this edit is about. These statement sweaters are fun, fabulous, colorful, oversized, haute and happy. Try one on for size.

Michael Kors Embroidered Cashmere Sweater

If this terrific topper doesn't bring you joy, I am not sure what would. The embroidered guitar pick inspired sequins bring some stylish shine. It's from his collection, so it is expensive but now on sale by over 75%. It's a wow!

Wedding Wednesday: Clearly Chic Acrylic Details

Transparent wedding decor details are trending more than ever now, and going into 2022 for modern couples.  The use of lucite or acrylic can be minimalistic, sleek, and clearly chic. The transparency adds space and opens sight lines throughout your ceremony and reception. I love it all, and find these clear details to be elegant and sophisticated. Here's how you can follow the trend.

A clear example that transparent does not mean boring. This invite features bright color surrounding a clearly chic invitation.
