FALL IS NEAR
Ode To A Sweater-And-Skirt Set
I was so excited when I found a camel cotton-blend Button-Front Cardigan, cashmere Crewneck Sweater and cotton-blend Zip-Front Cardigan (sizes now limited) that all match this camel Knife-Pleat Skirt. Having a sweater-and-skirt set makes it so easy to get dressed in the morning. I don’t have to spend valuable time thinking about what to wear, because I know I have a nearly complete outfit; all I need to add is a blouse or tee. What’s more, these sweaters and skirt are all sold separately, so I was able to get my exact size in each.
The camel color and light-weight fabrics make these classic pieces perfect for honoring the Fall season when the temperature is still warm.
Scroll down the page and you will see that I also found another camel Button-Front Cardigan from a different brand that also pairs well with the skirt, along with an ivory Button-Front Cardigan that looks beautiful with the skirt, too (I have worn these together). Simply switch out the tan slingbacks with ivory slingbacks.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog.
