Shopping My Closet: 1 Sweater x 5 Ways

I’ve been working onย a projectย post for my friend Brie over at Cotton & Cane.ย  She asked me to take one article of clothing from my closet and come up with a few different outfits using it.ย  What I love about this is that I do this all the time.ย  Don’t we all?ย  I love shopping my closet and finding new ways to wear items.ย  Well today I’m going to share the top that I decided not to use for her post.ย  It’s the Puff Sleeve Sweaterย by Free People and it’s very lightweight for spring.ย  I absolutely adore it.ย  It’s available in a few colors.ย  I {so far} have it in grey.

Since I’m using pieces from my closet these collages won’t be as pretty as the polyvore arrangements, just keeping it real.ย  Oh, and I tried to stay basic or this project would have taken more time than I had.ย  So keep in mind they need the funย extras, like jewelry, bags, jackets, scarves, hosiery…

LOOK #1๏ปฟ
{Paired with a Free People Floral Scrunch Skirt, J.Crew metallic beltย and J.Crew heels.}
This sweater is very thin so it tucks nicely.ย  Love it paired with the bright floral print.๏ปฟ

LOOK #2๏ปฟ
{Worn over a striped tee from Urban Outfitters, scallopedย hem shorts from Yes Style, and Sam Edelman Gigi flat sandals.}
The sweater is perfect for layering over or under things, skys the limit.ย  I chose a simple striped tee.ย  It would look great over a collared button down untucked too.ย  Love it with the scallop hem๏ปฟmed shorts.

LOOK #3๏ปฟ
{Tied in a side knot and paired with a bright, knee length, round skit from Banana Republic and J.Crew flower heels.}
This sweater looks awesome tied up in a side knot.ย ย Such an easy way to switch things up.
LOOK #4๏ปฟ
{Paired with Paperbag Trousersย from Urban Outfitters and J.Crew heels.}
This is one of my favorite looks.ย  It looks great untucked too for a more relaxed look.๏ปฟ

LOOK #5๏ปฟ
{Paired with a J.Crew sequin mini skirt, American Apparel twist scarfย worn as a belt, and J.Crew heels.}
I throw almost anything over this sequin skirt.ย  LOVE it.ย  And I really recommend getting one of those twist scarves.ย  You can wear them in your hair, as a necktie, as a belt… ๏ปฟ
A few ending thoughts:ย  Remember these need final touches.ย  Don’t forget accessories and more layers if you wish ๐Ÿ˜‰ย  And, wow, apparently I shop a lotย at J.Crew…
Want your own puff sleeve sweater?ย  You can get yours here.
Hey Brie, when do you want me to send over my post??๏ปฟ๏ปฟ

    Not surprisingly I love every look. I’m pretty sure I need to go buy that shirt asap. The only one I’m not cool enough to wear is look #4. I’m terrified of how I’d look in those fun pants.

    Great post idea Chassity. I adore every look and I think you may have been wearing this sweater Monday and I loved it with the black necklace you had on then too! My favorite looks are one and Five. Now when can I come over and borrow that sequined skirt:)

    Wow… I would pretty much LOVE to go shopping in your closet. I am LOVING the paperbag trousers… I have got to get a pair of those! I have the banana republic round skirt in blue and green, so comfy and the texture of the fabric on that skirt is amazing! All the Jcrew heels are amazing- thanks for sharing! This post just goes to show what ONE great piece can accomplish in your closet!

    Oh wow, I wish you could have a go at my closet! I love every single look, but I think the last might be my favorite (sequins AND J Crew? Sigh).

    Mind if I come shop your closet??!! Oh MY goodness!! those heels!! ahhhhh
    Especially the tan and pink ones…and the sandals with the fuchsia strap!!
    I’ve been looking for a floral skirt like the first one and can’t find one long enough like that…I always see the mini skirts that just don’t exactly go on my body type…its always a little shorter in the back, longer in the front if you know what i mean…

    Hope you have a lovely Tuesday, Chassity!!

    Brilliant post, my darling, I am *loving* that puff sleeve sweater…nothing like a new staple for the ol’ wardrobe! I’m a casual girl myself and the first two looks are definitely my favorites…especially the shorts…big puffy pink heart *love*

    Very cool. You managed to get 5 completely different looks from one piece. I usually end up wearing my things the same way every time. Maybe it’s time for me to look at my wardrobe with a new set of eyes~

    LOVE.THIS.POST. and I LOVE shopping my closet … almost as much as I love ACTUALLY shopping!

    I’ve been thinking about getting a sequin skirt, but I’m nervous the sequins will fall off if you wear it too much?

    I really may need that puff sleeve sweater too! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Ok, I actually bookmarked this because I am a fashion idiot at times! I tend to always wear the same shirt the same way. So I’m going to try to mix it up more. Love it.

    dude — get out of my head! I was totally thinking of doing this theme with my new jcrew dresses! (well, probably not 5 ways)

    LOVE shopping my closet and pairing things in unexpected ways…your amazing design taste clearly spills over in to fashion savvy too! love these!

    and can we talk about your jcrew shoe collection? tell you what — you share those, and i’ll take you to paris with me! (7.5 by chance?)
