how to wear: accessorize sweater + pant combo

If you feel like you wear sweaters and pants day-in and day-out, and are frustrated with feeling like you’ve lost your style, this post is for you.  A lot of us forget that our accessories can stretch our wardrobes and make them new again.  Here’s two ways to upgrade your sweater + pant combo outfits and inject some fun into your style by simply switching out and using the latest and greatest accessories.

The sweater and pant combo in a pretty red and brown:

• Button cowl-neck sweater (this can be worn shown or buttoned all the way to create a soft cowl)
• High-waisted textured wide-leg pant
  

Outfit #1

Perfect for the working gal on a budget! By belting the sweater, you’ve immediately added polish and an interesting twist to a classic outfit. The bag is a fun color yet still comes across classic due to its structured shape.  Add a brown ankle boot – these are perfect for wearing under pants in the winter months and a nice basic to have in your closet.

• City Style Croc Herringbone Belt, $19.95
• City Style Croc Bag, $17.47
• Lantern earrings, $29.99
• Via Spiga brown ankle boots

Outfit #2

This one is a little more edgy and great for weekend or a more funky work environment. Wear the bolero open and add a long, funky necklace (or scarf) to create balance.  By adding a bold and fun ring and on-trend bootie, you’ve updated the classic sweater/pant combo into something more stylish.

• Charlotte Ronson faux fur bolero
• Modern Vintage bootie
• Kenneth Jay Lane multi-strand necklace
• Faceted glass ring
