{bright striped sweater}

We're at the point of winter where I'm seriously over bundling up for cold weather and am very ready for spring. I don't want to wear my scarves anymore, I'm not excited for riding boots, and layers make me want to cry. Yep, it's the end of February!

The best (and brightest haha) solution I have for this seasonal remedy? Wearing a fun, but cozy, sweater. Bonus points if it's only $20! I picked this up at the beginning of February and have been wearing it almost every weekend. I get so many compliments on it and it really is super warm while being incredibly soft. I wore it for a little coffee date exploring Georgetown with my friend Katie. We picked up hot chocolates from Cafe Georgetown and then walked around looking at all of the townhouses. Even in the dead of winter Georgetown manages to make me smile!

My athleisure looks would be a normal outfit for a Sunday stroll but I really wanted to put an outfit together with these white sneaks - and not just pair them with leggings and a sweatshirt! I was honestly surprised at how much I loved them with jeans. They go perfectly with any type of sweater and create a "cool, casual girl" look. The trick for the right white shoe (in my opinion) is to keep them lightweight and streamlined - no chunky details or weird shaped soles. Just a simple, straight, all-white look. The best part is that you can wear socks with them and they're incredibly lightweight when you're packing! I'm excited to try styling them with sundresses and jean jackets when the temperatures warm up... dreaming hard over here y'all...

Love Always,
