Sweater Weather: Edging up the Bell Sleeve

Hello friends! I am so excited about today’s look, especially because it’s made up of – you guessed it – 100% Bloomingdale’s exclusives. This retailer continues to be one of my favorites because they always have a fantastic selection of unique pieces that you can’t get anywhere else.

I decided to go with an all-black look this time.  Wearing head to toe black is always chic and in style.  And fall and winter are especially great times to rock this look.

First of all, I found this amazing top. I won’t lie to you guys – I’ve been hesitant about the bell sleeve look, but this one really won me over.  I absolutely love that it’s ribbed cashmere – so comfy and cozy, not to mention flattering! The one-shoulder, asymmetrical look keeps things playful and the gunmetal button detailing really adds that pop of flair. I love the way the sleeve opens up at the bottom – it adds a bit of an edge to the flared sweater.

I picked this pair of jeans because they are simple and of high quality. A good distressed black jean never disappoints, plus everybody raves about this brand! I normally prefer a high-rise fit, but I like the slightly lower rise waist on these because of the way the sweater hits. These are just too comfy and I always love the raw hem look. They hit perfectly above the ankle and pair seamlessly with fall’s favorite accessory: velvet booties.

Velvet adds texture that compliments the cashmere sweater.   The triangle-shaped heel adds a unique touch, while the simple silhouette really dresses up this outfit and adds that classy, timeless feel.  The heel is the perfect height for running around town getting pre-holiday errands done or hitting happy hour with girlfriends later on.

Special thanks to Bloomingdale’s for partnering on this post.
