Bow Neck Sweater.

Maybe I’ve been inspired by all the gift wrapping that I’ve been doing lately but this bow neck sweater from J. Crew has been one of my favorite pieces to wear over the past few weeks (and was at the top of my packing list for the holidays!). I love how the simple black bow at the neck adds a really fun touch to an otherwise simple gray sweater and it’s so soft and works really well worn on its own or layered with an oxford.

Velvet seems to be making a serious comeback right now and I couldn’t help but grab a pair of Madewell’s high-rise skinny jeans in a black velvet – they feel dressy enough for holiday parties but still fit as well as their denim and have just the right amount of stretch to ’em. Paired with my all-time favorite M. Gemi patent pumps and a pop of red with a pair of BaubleBar tassel earrings and the look says holiday season without being too over the top.
