What I'm Wearing: Chunky Knits + Fall layering!

This is one of my favorite Fall RTW pieces that I've purchased this season.  
It's a chunky knit belted cocoon cardigan from BCBG Max Azria.  It's warm enough to wear as a coat on moderately cool days.
I layered my cardigan over my Butterick 5526 white shirt that I made last Fall.  And my recently sewn McCall's 6404 black skinny pants/leggings that I can't get enough of!  Seriously, I need to make another version (or 2) of those pants.  
 And I added in a pair of gray Guess boots that were gifted to me from my son last year.  It was a beautiful day to be outside enjoying the gorgeous weather!

  3. love that sweater! I'm working on knitting a cacoon sweater/shrug for myself. It's taking forever, but I'll get there eventually!

    And those skinnies are very nice too. :)

  4. I'm the world's slowest knitter. It would have taken me until Spring to finish a sweater like this. And the fact that I'm ADD doesn't help. Thanks Maggie B.!

  5. Lovely! You are so talented with your sewing. I have not sewn clothes for myself in awhile. You are inspiring me to do so. Soon I hope. I have fabric and patterns waiting for me to use. I just have to get to it!

  9. I need to make another white shirt. I just realized I don't have a "plain" white one. Yes, the boots were a great gift from a great young man!

    Thanks Bri!

  13. I feel sad now, I had a grey belted cardigan that I loved and last year I accidentally put it in the drier and it came out doll sized! Must find a replacement!

  18. Great outfit! Thanks for sharing these looks...maybe it will motivate me to work a little harder when getting dressed for work. :-)

  19. I figure you have to get dressed anyway. Might as well put a little extra thought into it! ;-) Thanks!

  20. Fantastic!
    I have a few blouses that I'd like to sew...but I keep putting it off because for some reason I'm stuck in the "must sew something fast" rut...and by fast I mean very fast...so button holes and hand sewing are not an option. When did I get so lazy?

  21. I too am in a sew something fast mood. I figure it's going to be cold and ugly outside soon enough. I'll hibernate and do slow sewing then. Thanks!
