I recently bought this sweater after having my eye on it for months and I love the pretty pointelle detail. It’s lightweight so it can be worn on it’s own in spring and summer or layered for fall and winter and the wavy stripes remind me of the ocean. I also like that the colors are bold yet still classic which adds to the seasonless and timeless feel to the sweater.

I brought it with me on our trip to Stonington, CT, because I thought it would be perfect for the waterfront location and also because layering pieces are key when traveling! I layered this turtleneck underneath and it really did keep me warm. I can see this sweater with chambray or linen shorts and strappy sandals on a summer night, too! Add a warm brown tote with a colorful silk scarf tied around it, these chinos in light blue or these in navy, and mules (any color would work but I’m picturing gray or white) for a laid back spring look.

I also wore these rain boots for almost our entire trip. They’re extremely comfortable, wearable, and they work with almost everything! I love this pink color but they come in 4 other colors and the toffee and the stone are my next favorites!

Happy Friday! It’s beautiful here today but Amelia woke up with a fever this morning so we didn’t really get to take full advantage of the weather. Thankfully, she seems to be doing much better now so I’m hoping that was the end of that. We have a ton of housework to do this weekend so I think that will be where we spend most of our time. I have to finish painting Amelia’s room and then start the cleaning process (it’s still covered in dust) and we have to seed the backyard. I also want to paint Joseph’s room… and maybe ours, so there’s a lot of painting in my future for the next couple of weeks! I just want everything to be done at the same time so when we move back in I can sit back and enjoy it for a while. We’ll probably always be doing some sort of project because we enjoy it and also because it’s an old house, but I’m ready for a little break and some more free time!
