Back in late 2009, before I started posting outfit photos on this here blog, I found myself in great need of warm, cozy sweaters. Coincidentally, this was right around my birthday and come October 20th Kyle presented me with two amazing gifts; a record player, and this sweater.

I fell in love with it immediately, but I always seem to have a hard time styling it. The giant cowl-neck makes it look very 70’s, and its thickness makes it impossible to tuck into anything without creating awkward lumps. So throwing it over a light summer dress it is, I win.

Also, didn’t Kyle take some great outfit photos this time around? He didn’t cut-out my feet, stand at an angle, making me look like I have a giant head, or zoom-in on the giant bags under my eyes. I think he likes me, I should marry him or something...

    Beautiful pics, I love the way all your grays are highlighted by the wood. That's a great sweater, not very 70s at all (trust me, I had actual cowl necks in the 70s). I'm also diggin' those boot socks.

    Yes, marry the photographer! lol

    Sara, your head is not big. I have a HUGE head! hahaha What a great gift! I love your sweater and it looks awesome on you. Cowl neck is always in :) It's the perfect weight and not too chunky, plus the color is fab. LOOKS charming with your summer wear :) I think it would look great with trouser pants too. Nice styling!

    Yes, Kyle did a grand job with these photos! You look lovely in the grey sweater. It is good that Kyle buys things for you for your birthday. My husband has never been a gift buying person at all, which is terrible. . .so I got nothing from him for my birthday last Saturday, but that is okay. He shows he loves me very very much in all the other ways. I hope you use your record player lots and lts that you got for that birthday! Your skirt is so cute with the sweater!

    My hubby always takes good pictures of me, I wish I had more time to let him do so!

    I LOVE everything about this outfit, the sweater, the skirt, the socks, the boots. Love times a million. I may have to try to copy it somehow.

    It rained the whole day yesterday and it's drizzling now. A bit hard to take outfit photos and I feel a bit bad selling my sweaters.

    These are really great photos. I wish Dominic were as good of a photographer. He can do it, he just doesn't seem to care.
