Imagine my surprise when I found a Chloe sweater dress at a local Crossroads while I was selling some clothes. It was love at first sight, and luckily the amount I paid was covered by what I earned selling clothes I was tired of or did not fit me properly. In the past, I would buy clothes that were either just too trendy or a couple sizes too big, or a size too small, think I could make it work or alter it somehow. I would like to say I have purged most of my closet to things I actually wear, but sometimes I do hold on to things for sentimental reasons.
A big part of the reason clothing won’t be my exact size is because I end up going to thrift stores and finding great pieces that I want to be able to wear. I was lucky enough to find this Chloe tunic, and it is not only my first piece from this brand, but also a first in me buying a sweater dress/tunic. I typically don’t buy winter knits out of sheer stubbornness because I never feel knits look good on me. However, I received a ton of compliments on this dress, and I already have some other outfit ideas that I know would work well in the spring when it is warm. Slouchy tan boots would go well with this tunic with a low slung belt in a neutral color, and natural necklace would also make this more bohemian. I also envision it worn with a faux fur vest over it in a neutral color. Today’s look is slightly bohemian with my feather earrings and leggings too. I wanted to braid my hair, but realize I am not skilled in that department. My hair is always down and curly because I know that works for me. Baby steps.
