Cardigans and Couture: What I Wore: A Little Lux

Layering is my favorite part about fall. Vests, sweaters, scarves, jewelry, you name it. The added bonus, you get to layer without wearing tights. Every outfit needs a little luxury, whether that's a necklace or a cashmere sweater. For me in this case, it's both!

In Paris I stopped into Uniqlo during a crazy sale! If you aren't familiar with the brand, they're a Japanese casual wear designer and they've got amazing basics. Like this crewneck cashmere sweater, which I got (in grey, navy, and black) for 49 euros. The quality is incredible for the price. Every girl should have a good cashmere sweater in her closet (I bought a medium if you're curious about sizing). If you're in NY, NJ, CA, CT, or PA, you can stop in to shop in person - otherwise, get thee to the interwebs.

But the sweater wasn't enough to give this outfit that little extra je ne sais quoi - it needed a statement necklace. Also a Paris Zara purchase, this is going to be a go-to for work and play. I've already worn it twice since I returned. I can't seem to find it online (you might try in store), but did find several other pieces that give the same effect. Along with the earrings that match the necklace.
