SWEATER WEATHER

SWEATER WEATHER

And with January comes sweater weather. Perhaps the only month in the year when I can truly count on my cozy sweaters getting daily wear. I recently went through a closet edit and clean up and gave every sweater a thorough look over. I donated the ones that no longer fit well and the colors that were no longer flattering. I shaved pills off cashmere and then gave them a fresh wash.

When all was done, sweaters that felt like new were stacked by color. I could see some voids and some heavy repetition. Shades of ivory, cream, ecru, and winter white (I tell myself they are all significantly different) dominated. Knowing I already have a variety, I have to stop myself from the temptation of buying another with a new texture or silhouette.

I don’t spend a fortune on sweaters. Jackets, bags, shoes, yes, but sweaters haven’t tipped in that direction. I feel like I can find the look, quality and feel that I’m after in more price friendly brands. In my stack of cashmere sweaters, I have several from Nordstrom under their Nordstrom Signature label. They’re good. Hefty cashmere in styles that are not too oversized and not too skimpy. Just wearable classics. Perhaps that’s why I have more than a few and continue to purchase cashmere sweaters from Nordstrom.

Three I’ve been wearing lately include the mix stitch cable above, a half-zip wide collar and a ribbed funnel neck. No surprise, they’re all in shades of white.

Thank you Nordstrom for supporting A Note on Style and sponsoring this post.

    Hi Karima. Greetings from Houston, Texas! These are all great looks. I noticed your ‘winter white’ jeans. My friends and I were discussing these. Is there a difference between winter white and regular white jeans? Maybe winter white is more of a warm white? Would love your thoughts and expertise! Thank you.

      Hi Suzanne. Winter white is exactly like you said…a warmer shade of white. Ecru, ivory, and cream all fall under this category and offer a less stark option of bright white. That being said, I wear both hues year round.

    Hi Karima, I love your blog so much. I did a Prolon fast recently thanks to you, and have purchased several great finds through your website.

    I was looking through your packing posts and I couldn’t find what I need, which is what to pack at a beach resort when you’re traveling in winter. If you could point me in that direction I’d be grateful!

      Thank you. I’m actually doing ProLon this week! I have something I was working on for resort packing and will post it soon.

    Love, love, love cozy sweaters!!!

    Thick, cabled or textured with a turtleneck of some sort are my favorite – navy, black, camels, beige / browns, grays with a few intarsia thrown in.

    I have a question regarding your photo & I am hoping it is not too personal:

    What color / brand is nail polish on your fingers & toes?

    I love them both.

    Thank you for your blog; it is a favorite of mine.

      Thank you! I wear Dior polish on my nails…the same color all the time. I wrote about it awhile back in a post you can read here. On my toes is Dior also in 970 Nuit.

    Many thanks for the polish information, Karima!

    Online orders have been placed….

    Have a great day!

Gray is taking a back seat this season in my usual Gray is taking a back seat this season in my usual fall round up. Instead, warm, caramel tones have all of my attention. Mixing various hues results in an interesting look that feels more naturally acquired versus overly styled.

The Row silk scarf looks like something you could easily miss, but it’s the perfect finishing touch to so many looks. It truly goes with everything. Toteme’s travel loafers (in any color) is a must for any travel wardrobe. And I don’t know how this zipped cardigan got past me until now. It’s fantastic and in my cart.

My closet is slowly becoming more Khaite-centric w My closet is slowly becoming more Khaite-centric with every new collection. Each season, I’m finding at least a few pieces from Khaite on the very top of must have list. I like how the styles stand out on their own making a modern statement in a subtle way. Adding a Khaite belt, sweater, or pair of jeans nudges a more current feel on my wardrobe without looking fashion obsessed.

Now, it’s time for a bag. The Lilith specifically caught my eye. Understated chic in a quietly sophisticated way. The slim size would make this ideal for travel when something more than an everyday bag is required. The black and cream leather are beautiful, but the latticework of Swarovski crystals is extra special.

One of the loveliest dresses I’ve tried recently One of the loveliest dresses I’ve tried recently. From @lelarose, a designer whose work I love. The detail and intricacies in each flower is beyond. Scroll through for a close up.

I’m wearing the dress with gold and black suede T-strap @chanelofficial sandals. I added a belt for definition at the waist but think a grosgrain or satin ribbon would do the trick. Although I love the idea of pearls on the belt, I’d prefer a non logo with this dress. Link to dress in today’s story.

Since I received this lovely necklace from Devon W Since I received this lovely necklace from Devon Woodhill, I’ve barely taken it off. And according to Melissa Levy, founder and designer of Devon Woodhill Fine Jewelry, that’s exactly how the collection is intended to be worn. Each treasured piece is a timeless memento for daily and occasion wear.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As I said in an earlier post - jewelry, fashion and interior design are opportunities to tell a story, which is why I adore this necklace. The 18k gold Florentine etched circle is elegant in its simplicity and can be personalized with a monogram, more charms, or worn as is. The beauty is in creating a modern heirloom reflecting your story. #bespoke #jewelry

The fabric in the first black dress from a few day The fabric in the first black dress from a few days ago had a tonal metallic thread that provided sparkle in a subtle way. Beading takes it to another level and perhaps too far for my taste. Both of today's black dresses are pretty - one offers coverage and the other is about shape. But, neither will make the final cut. I ventured out and bought them on @therealreal (I have a couple more on their way).

Newly purchased transferware from a Dallas consignment store with an @astierdevillatte vase and contemporary bowl from @aleph_gallery 🍂

I’m always collecting and repurposing pieces to give them a fresh moment. Brown and white is my current obsession.🍂🤍🍂

Love this @andresotaloraofficial blue and white floral print. Scroll through to see it worn with a sash I added to dress it up. Plus it gives the waistline a little definition and gently breaks up the pattern. Very comfortable and easy to wear. @andresotaloraofficial is a brand very much on my radar. Love the prints and silhouettes 🤍🤍🤍@modaoperandi #dresses #eventdressing
