I had a little downtime the other day, so for fun, I decided to play in my closet for a bit to see what combinations I could come up with. I wasn’t particularly inspired by anything until my roommate gave me her snakeskin-printed cardi and asked if I could do anything with it.

I slipped it on and immediately loved how it felt—super soft, slightly roomy and very lightweight. I usually opt for boyfriend cardigans that have  a v-neck, so this was a bit of a challenge to work with, seeing that the design is slightly more traditional than what I usually wear. But, after experimenting with it for a bit, I tucked it in making it more like a blouse/shirt versus cardigan sweater . Also, I solved the neckline issue by camoflauging it with my favorite chunky statement necklace du jour. I must say this outfit makes me feel very sophisticated and demure.

Sending a thank you to my lovely roomie, Ashley, for a brand new addition to my wardrobe! xoxo
