Two babies later and I’m still working up the nerve to try a cutout dress (and to show myself online). This black LNA dress might be the one to make it happen.

15 Spring Sweaters To Update Your Wardrobe

Photo via: Shopbop

When thinking of a sweater, you might be picturing thick, cable knit and cashmere but Spring sweaters are made of breathable, loose fabrics like cotton and merino. The Spring requires a totally new type of layering, one that involves wearing a light jacket in the morning and sliding it off midday to reveal the perfect Spring knitwear. They look best when paired with a printed skirt, high waisted jeans, lightweight trousers or trench coats. In honor of the warmer weather, here are 15 of the best Spring sweaters you can find right now.

Blogger Style: Borrowing From The Boys

We're obsessed with this cool meets sophisticated look we found on Mary's blog. She borrowed a look from the boys with a slouchy grey beanie, grey turtleneck sweater, houndstooth double-breasted mens coat, distressed jeans and nude booties. The trick to wearing men's outerwear? Well, she made sure the coat was a slim fit so that she wouldn't appear boxy and oversized. Genius.

DIY Idea: The Cut-Out Turtleneck

Photo via: Collage Vintage

This street style shot recently caught our eye with its unique circle cut-out turtleneck top and it got us thinking that we just might be able to make one of our own. A tighter style top would be best in a fabric that holds its shape a bit more such as a jersey or stretchier fabric. First, find the spot where you'd like the cut-out to be, outline the shape on the inside of the top with a pencil or other utensil depending on the fabric color and then carefully cut out the piece. Note: we strongly recommend testing this out on an old tee a few times before in order to make sure you get the process right. Lastly, complete the look with a faux fur coat and jeans for a great fall or winter look.

Adding Color to A Minimal Wardrobe

The minimalist's wardrobe is usually built upon neutrals; black, grey, white, creams and the occasional navy blue. After fashion month, a new shade pushed its way into the normcore palette. Blushes and pinks are now considered a neutral in itself. If incorporating a blush tone into your minimal outfit, opt for the lightest shade of pink or a ruddier one. Fashion blogger Jiawa Liu does this perfectly in her blush blazer, denim shorts and statement sandals.
