See what I bought this January and ways to wear each piece!

I’ve been needing an ivory cable sweater, as the ivory sweater I have is a thin material and it’s been in my closet a few years. I’ve also been looking for a basic white button-up shirt. I ordered one last month, but it fit too snug, so I returned it. A couple of weeks ago I went shopping…and racked up on some deals! I usually stick with my capsule wardrobe, wearing a few trendy pieces. Plus, I don’t buy several pieces at a time, but the deals I found were hard to pass up!

I started my search
for an ivory cable sweater at Nordstrom Rack. I remembered that I needed a pair of dark denim jeans to wear to work. I found these Paige Verdugo Ultra Skinny Jeans. Even though they are “ultra skinny”, they are a jegging material so they stretch! I love wearing skinny jeans because they look great with almost any shoe. While I was a Nordstrom Rack, I spotted this beautiful Melrose and Market white poplin boyfriend shirt. I grabbed it, tried it on and voila, it fit perfectly! I also found this Harlow & Graham Soft Gray Sweater, which is the softest material ever! Of course Nordstrom Rack prices are hard to pass up, so I bought all three pieces.

Next, I went to J. Crew Factory. While I didn’t find the elusive ivory cable sweater, they did have this Pink Gingham Shirt on one of their tables as soon as I walked in the door. It’s a SO soft cotton material. I couldn’t pass it up at 40% off. J. Crew Factory is one of my favorite stores for wardrobe essentials. If you aren’t signed up for their emails, I highly recommend doing so. They have some great sales and they’ll let you know when they have all their sales. I love J. Crew’s clothes too. They are more expensive, but it’s another go-to store for wardrobe staples that last for years.

My final stop was Gap Factory. I found the ivory sweater I was looking for. It’s not a “cable” style, but it’s similar. I found a beautiful cable sweater online, the link is below. It fits perfectly too, just right for layering. While I was there, I found a pair of burgundy jeans and a “Oui Oui” graphic tee. I’ve had my American Eagle burgundy jeans for several years and they were fading from wearing them so much, I replaced them with the Gap Factory burgundy jeans. I couldn’t find them online, so here’s a similar pair. I can’t find the graphic tee online, maybe it’s a Gap Factory exclusive? Check your local Factory store.
