I’ve had this cardigan for about five years now, and it’s still one of my favorites. I thought it was a little over the top when I first bought it, but I’ve since come to believe it’s really just an outspoken classic. The bold pattern is still pretty simple, and the black and white keeps it from being too crazy.

I’m all about a good pair of sunglasses, and these bad boys from Spy Optic are some new favorites. These are the Neptune shades, and I love the tortoishell take on a typical wayfarer pair of shades. Oversized frames work well on my face, and I like that these are still a bit oversized without looking cartoonish. They balance that line of wanting to do something different, without being too crazy.

The jeans are a looser fit pair of Levis that have replaced my previous skinny jeans. I guess I’m getting older because I’m more about comfort, and I’m really into the relaxed fit on these that are still streamlined. Also, the fact that I literally wore out the last pair is part of the reason I’ve had to move on.
