Why You Need a Sleeveless Sweater

October 26, 2015

Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend. Russ and I have been working on a master bedroom update and did a lot for it this weekend. I also had the opportunity to work with Jami of Photography by Jami Leavitt to shoot a couple blog looks. It’s always such a treat to hang out with her, much less work with her. If you are in the Oklahoma/Utah area, be sure to check her out.

Sleeveless sweaters have really become my fall essential. Today I am wearing my fringe accented sweater over a fun retro inspired blouse (great price) and flares. I’ve worn it alone here. Here’s why you need a sleeveless sweater:

  1. Sleeveless sweaters look good alone – seen here
  2. Sleeveless sweaters look great layered over a blouse – seen here and here
  3. Sleeveless sweaters are easy to layer over a dress – regular vest seen here
  4. Sleeveless sweaters are a good way to add interest to your outfit – seen here
  5. Sleeveless sweaters are perfect with you need extra warmth in the fall but not a coat. They also fit under a coat easily during the winter.

    I’m loving the fringe details on your sweater. It looks great layered over your blouse with the flares. Another perfect fall look Amy Ann!

    Gorgeous outfit! I love this sweater over your blouse, it’s casual yet elegant! Those flare jeans look amazing on you, I never really wear them because I don’t think they would look good on me, but they fit you really well!

    I’ve honestly never thought to wear a sleeveless sweater, but your ideas are pretty convincing! I love the feathering on the shoulders of this one.
