Last month I posted about the fact that every closet needs a great black sweater and a great cream sweater. They are basics that are the building blocks of so many different outfits and they can both be styled in so many different ways.  Click HERE to see those sweaters and read all my thoughts.

But you know what else we need?  COLOR.

Yep, we all need some bright, vivid, and gorgeous COLORS in our closets too.  And good news, I’ve got 3 colorful sweaters for you today!

Lavender Sweater

Officially, this sweater is called “pink gale”, but I think it’s much more of a lavender.

This sweater is sooooooooooooo soft and it’s a very relaxed fit, which I love.  It’s got ribbed details at the neckline, cuffs, and hem. For size reference, I’m wearing a small and still have plenty of room.

These chunky huggie earrings are fabulous. I talk on the phone in them (without being poked), and I even sleep in them.  When I find a pair of huggies I love, I’ll wear them for weeks at a time without ever taking them out.

I do find that most huggies are dainty, so I love that these are chunky!  These are a brushed gold, and I really like that they aren’t super shiny.

My heart necklace is so dainty and pretty (and would make an excellent gift) and the beaded necklace is fun and adds some lovely color.

I continue to be obsessed with these jagged hem slim jeans, and y’all agree!  I’m getting so much great feedback from y’all, which thrills me.  Here’s just 1 message I received….

Hi, Sheaffer! I’m 3 months postpartum, I’ve never tried Wit and Wisdom jeans before, but I’m now a true believer. I feel amazing in these jeans. I love how they hold me in and smooth everything out, but they are still so comfortable. And you are right, they are so flattering. And the hem on this pair is so fun! I’ve been reading your blog for 5 years or so, so I’m not sure why it took me this long to try this brand, but you are absolutely right! Thanks for another great recommendation! – Emily

Thanks for the feedback, Emily! I TOTALLY agree and I’m so pumped that you are now a believer in this brand.

These jagged hem slim jeans are from Wit and Wisdom, which means they boast our beloved Ab-Solution technology. They are super stretchy, they suck you in in all the right places, and they are crazy flattering.  I’m wearing my regular size 4, but most people size down in Wit and Wisdom jeans because of the stretch.

My exact booties are sold out (I got them in the Anniversary Sale), but this pair is super similar and under $70!

These bracelets are simple and classic.

I think the color of this sweater is beautiful.  It makes me happy.

Kelly Green Sweater

Since as long as I can remember, one of my favorite colors has been Kelly green.  Sadly, it seems to be a really elusive color, and it’s quite hard to find clothes that are this perfect shade of green.

Well, this sweater is a perfect Kelly green.  I LOVE IT.

But if green isn’t your thing, it comes in 8 colors, including a vibrant red which will be great for the holiday season!

The body is ribbed and look how fun the bobble stitched sleeves are!  Oh, also of importance, it’s sooooooooooooo soft.  For some reason, I was worried that this sweater was going to be a little scratchy, but it’s not at all.  For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

I’ve had these sunglasses for several years now, and they remain my favorite pair. First of all, they are an incredible value at just $55. They look much more expensive than they are, and they are super durable. These are the “torte black/black faded lens”, but I also have them in the “black smoke” and they are a great matte black.

Do you know what one of my favorite pairings is?  Kelly green with leopard.  Yep, leopard was the easy choice here.  My exact mules are no longer available, but I’ve linked a similar option below.

Pink and Orange Striped Sweater

I saved the most colorful and most vibrant sweater for last!  Isn’t it fabulous?

I love the large alternating pink and orange rugby stripes.  It’s a classic crew neck, has a perfectly relaxed fit, and is soooo soft.  For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

AND GET THIS!  IT’S ONLY $39!

If you’ve been following along for awhile, there’s no telling how many times you’ve seen these earrings.  I named them a MUST HAVE probably 5-6 years ago, and they continue to be a favorite.  They are light as a feather and go with everything. They come in silver too.

And I’m wearing the heart necklace again.  It’s beautiful.  If you gift it, it comes in the signature yellow Kendra Scott box which makes for such a lovely presentation.

These raw hem straight legged jeans initially sold out a couple of months ago, so I was thrilled when they got a huge restock.

They’ve got the Ab-Solution technology (praise!), but they are more of a straight legged fit than a skinny fit. They are super on trend.

I love the ankle length and the tiny little split on the side.  At 5’4″, I’m wearing my regular size 4 (although most size down), and they come in petite too.  I wear these with mules, booties, and sneakers.

And the mules!!!! Let’s give a slow clap for these mules.  If they still have your size left, grab them!  I think they are DARLING, they are quite comfy, and I absolutely love the gold chain accent.

So which color is your favorite?

Do you love the orange and pink rugby stripe?  The super soft lavender?  Or the bobble stitch Kelly green?

And don’t forget the classic cream and the basic black from this post.

And just for fun…

With the holidays approaching, I thought I would link some of the festive pajamas they have at Nordstrom for the entire family.  They’ve even included the family dogs! And as much as I’d like to get Buddy and Charlie in some #13s, I’m afraid I’ll have to settle for a couple of cute #12s.  They’ll still be adorable.

And listen, #6 makes my ovaries quiver. Man I sure do miss having a baby in a pair of footie pajamas right after a fresh bath.  It’s one of life’s greatest joys.  And Christmas jammies?  MY GOODNESS.
