Figuring out how to put together a weekend outfit that is both comfortable and chic is not always an easy task. While velour sweats may be okay for lounging around the house, when I’m out and about I prefer to look a bit more put together.


Blouse: AB Studio (via Kohls)
Cardigan: Minimalist handknit by me
Shawl Pin: Nicholas and Felice
Bracelet: Crazy 4 Jewels
Jeans: Lucky Brand
Shoes: Aldo
The key to the chicness (and comfy-ness) of this outfit comes in two parts: one, the faux collar on the blouse (which makes it look a little more dressy but is comfier than layer two separate blouses), two, the handknit cashmere blend goodness that is my Minimalist. Whenever you want to be comfy and well-dressed, cashmere is always a good bet.
What a gorgeous shawl pin. And I agree – cashmere is ideal for both comfort and chic.
Very nice. I love that pattern and have been meaning to do it. The shawl pin gives it just the right touch of elegance and solves the closure problem on an otherwise buttonless/zipperless/closureless cardi. Great job on the entire outfit
Simple and elegant! I like it very much!
