Of all your winter wardrobe favorites, what’s your most, most, and I mean most favorite? I mean the one item you absolutely cannot live without. Is it that one jacket? A worn pair of jeans you just can’t part with? So hard to pick when you get right down to it—not sure if I could even answer that question completely. What I do know is this: it’s really hard to beat a cozy cashmere sweater. Style trends come, and style trends go, but a cashmere sweater is a wardrobe essential.
I’m just going to throw this out there: Everlane knocked it out of the park with their turtleneck cashmere sweater. Cozy? Check. Comfortable? Check. And Stylish? You betcha. Count me in. Anyone who knows me knows I can’t pass up on camel, but this sweater comes in a variety of colors. (I’m kinda loving the Key Lime.) What I love about this sweater is that you can dress it up or down.
Today, I layered it with a blouse from Banana Republic and a pair of high-waisted raw hem denim, which you can easily imagine swapping for a pair of white denim for a sleek look. Accessorize with a bold necklace for added emphasis.

Yes, ma’am, high-waisted jeans are in, and they’re here to stay. I’ve been loving the raw hem look so far this New Year, but if it’s not your thing, look, not to worry. The Gap’s got you covered today: they’re running a (up to) 70% off sale with tons of high-waisted options. You can’t go wrong with their high-rise vintage slim or ace jeans.

Thought I’d try something new today—a pair of boots from Jessica Simpson’s clothing line. Fun fact: she launched the line in 2005, sold it in 2015, and reclaimed it last year. Who knew?

Love the sweater, but was wondering how boxy it is? Because I am short 5’3″, I cannot wear a real boxy style. Overpowers me.
It’s boxy but if you slip a shirt underneath as I did in today’s post that will help with proportions and you won’t feel as if the sweater is overpowering.
Beth, this look is one that I adore, too! I’m always so inspired by the outfits you create. And, this is especially helpful currently because I can shop my closet instead of making new purchases. Very important as my husband and I continue funding our retirement account over the next 17 months. Looking forward to more inspiration in 2022.
nothing better than shopping your closet!
My eye goes right to the white shirt tail and not to your face…and that’s a shame.
The untucked shirttail isn’t for everyone. But isn’t it great that style is always about personal preference?
The younger generation seem to like the Mid-drift length. Is this what the sweater is? Does that mean that the longer look sweaters are headed out? Also, what is your opinion on wearing gold vs silver. Both together? all gold or all silver? Thank you! I so enjoy your site! I love the pin/navy scarf you had on this week. I have spent 2 years looking for that. Any suggestions for a place to obtain one in that color?
cropped sweaters have been trending the past few years to complement the high-waisted pants. But, yes, this is a cropped sweater.
You don’t live in Utah that’s for sure….with the cold, slush, and mud and slogging thru deep snow!!
Nope. Georgia is home.
Love what you did with the shirt underneath, Beth. Yes, it does balance proportion, but also, that little rim of white at the neckline, really brightens your face. I do that with scarves, sometimes, if I like a colour, but it doesn’t return the compliment -lol. This, however is a modern take and probably not as warm as a scarf can be. Brava👏
Great outfit Beth. I’ve worn iterations of this on repeat. I cannot wear cashmere. I have tried a number of different brands but no joy😕 Luckily there are plenty of pretty cotton blend sweaters. Really enjoy your posts!!
it’s such a great style uniform all winter long. thanks for being here!
