Happy Friday and welcome to one of my favorite Fashoin Fridays of the year! Mark and I just shot this look on Sunday (five days ago) and while I had something else planned for today, I could just not wait to share this look! I recently ordered this sweater and the formal name of the packaging made me laugh “collared balloon sleeve jumper”. First of all, let’s start with balloon sleeve – I guess that is what you can call this style where this is more fabric on the arms and then a tapered wrist, but still a funny name. And I am not sure I would go so far as to say balloon, to me that implies I am drowning in it. And then jumper, that term just makes me smile. It is what the Brits call as sweater and while I would never say the word out aloud when describing a piece of clothing I have been getting used to it as you need to type that in when online shopping if you are looking for sweaters.
Despite the funny description I fell in love with the floral collar and the bow detail plus I love just how feminine the ribbed trims are! I paired the top with white jeans and black boots and realized it needed a pop of color. I added the red lip and then kept going, also grabbing a red handbag. It was actually this bag’s first time out as it was a birthday present from Mark and bought it for me at a small boutique in Italy. The bag does not have a brand name or a style number and I can not link it but I but found the closest alternative and have also linked it below! If you are looking for more of a save option I found this dark red option on Etsy or for a splurge this Givenchy Mini Antigona Croc-Embossed Leather Satchel is similar. And now for the look:

Cute top. Perfect for cooler weather. I love the red bag too. Can’t wait to go to Florida with my boyfriend to see my family next week for Thanksgiving. I have my dress ready for Thanksgiving Dinner.

I like it and how you made the whole outfit… very cute and a different look for you.
Nice pairing of lip color and purse, a real winner Kelly

I love that the British people call it a jumper, it sounds so much more polished but it also sounds like an athletic event, no?
The first time I heard it I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what they were talking about. I didn’t want to seem stupid and ask but really???
Veronica says
Forget the shirt, that red bag is to die for! I see you only linked a similar one though, maybe I will just have to go to Italy and bring back my very own!
Terry says
I can see why you bought this top, if fits you so well!
