Sweater: Nordstrom // Skirt: H&M // Bag: Stella McCartney // Shoes: BC Footwear // Lips: Kylie Cosmetics in "Kristen"

I don't consider myself the biggest trend follower, but I'm open to trying out whatever is in fashion as long as I can stay true to my regular style: for example, I love that turtlenecks are back en vogue, I'm obsessed with all things velvet, and I'm down for a pretty choker or two. There are a few trends that I just won't try out because I know they wouldn't fit into my style (looking at you, perspex boots!) So, should you follow trends? My personal opinion is that if you genuinely like the trend and it fits into your own personal style, then go for it! I love when designers adapt a closet classic to fit the current trends, making something that is still versatile and wearable at all times, but current.

Case in point: this off-the-shoulder sweater I picked up at Nordstrom that walks the line between a dusty blush pink and classic nude. I love the bell sleeves with the slit in the side that allows for range of motion in the arms. I posted a dressing room snap of this to my Instagram story and I got multiple messages asking about the sweater, so I was really excited to publish this outfit. I also picked up this simple black wrap skirt at a score of less than $20- wrap skirts are great for petites because you can adjust the size to your liking. I always have issues with the waists of skirts being loose and needing a belt, so this was perfect and really versatile as well.
