Anything But Boring!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

My teenage daughter asked me, \u201cWhy a tan sweater? Tan sweaters are so boring!\u201d At some level, I must agree with her because until recently I didn\u2019t see a need for one in my wardrobe. But lately, I have been feeling that this common wardrobe staple is something I wanted. I think it is the resurgence of an array of earth tones and a return to rich brown shoes and boots, tan sweater is a perfect compliment. Or as I mature my style has skewed toward the traditional. Na, that isn’t it. Either way, I decided to pick one up.<\/p>\n

The one I chose is the J.Crew V-Neck Boyfriend Sweater<\/a> in Everyday Cashmere. It definitely beat out the Halogen Cashmere Sweater<\/a> which is also great but not as warm and with a slightly pink undertone to the tan which I didn’t like on me. My goal now was to make this \u201cboring\u201d item seem fresh for the holidays.<\/p>\n

Plaid Shirt and Boots<\/strong><\/h2>\n

First, I paired the sweater with a tartan plaid shirt from Madewell. You can find it here<\/a>. It gives the sweater a pop of color for the holidays. To up the edgy factor (something I always like to do) I paired with my Stuart Weitzman Lowland Over-the-Knee boots<\/a>. This outfit is so comfortable that it is perfect for a day of holiday shopping. A sweater must be able to be layered over other items meaning it can’t be too hot or too heavy individually. I can get hot at a moment\u2019s notice so I need to be able to take the sweater off when my internal thermostat reaches boiling.<\/p>\n

Silky Skirt and Combat Boots<\/strong><\/h2>\n

How about this Treasure & Bond skirt<\/a>? So good, right? The skirt is silky and drapes just right. I love the rich red and the hint of holiday. Maybe my favorite purchase this season are these Nordstrom Signature Combat Boots. I feel like they are the right balance to the feminine skirt. You could easily pair this skirt with slouchy black boots or flats for those warmer winter days.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Classic Pinstripe Shirt and Moto Leggings<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next, I wore the tan sweater with a classic blue pinstripe. You know I think leggings are pants and these Alo Moto Leggings<\/a> are no exception. My husband calls them my \u201cMad Max Beyond Thunder Dome\u201d Leggings, but I remain devoted. I love these leggings. They are supper comfortable and add just the right edge to my way preppy shirt and sweater. Pair with your favorite sneakers and a plaid wrap and you are ready for Christmas caroling or picking out a tree.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Print Pants and Fun Shoes<\/strong>
\nThere is nothing boring about these Scotch & Soda Floral Print pants. They are a viscose-blend with tuxedo striping on the side. They are perfect for the holidays or anytime, really. I also wear them with sneakers and a tee on summer nights.<\/p>\n

A tan sweater is a versatile piece to add to any wardrobe. It is perfect all winter but can easily be worn for the holidays. How do you wear your tan sweaters for the holidays?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
