I didn’t have a post planned for today.
Until yesterday at about 2:00.
I was trying on pieces yesterday afternoon to see if there was anything I was going to want to add to my highlights for Friday Favorites this week, but after I put this outfit together, my wheels started turning.
It took me about 2 minutes to decide I was going to throw together a post for today.
I styled the outfit below, AND I LOVED IT.
Like I loved it so much that I just couldn’t wait to share it.
I COULDN’T NOT SHARE IT.
I was powerless.
Here’s the sweater that made me alter my plans.
And here’s the theme for today’s post: GET. THIS. SWEATER.
This was one of my favorite sweaters EVER last year. I had it in rust, and although it sold out quickly, I wore the absolute heck out of it. Well, it’s back baby!

I immediately ordered it in “khaki ” last week when I saw it was available again. Now, please be advised it’s not actually “khaki”.
It’s definitely more of a “cream”, but I still love it.
This sweater is soooooooooooooooo incredibly soft. It’s a super relaxed fit and even has a bit of a bat wing design, but it’s still very flattering! I’m wearing the small here and it’s still very roomy. It comes in 12 total colors.
I had a lot of people asking me about the fabric content last week since we couldn’t find it listed on the site. I didn’t know then, but I’ve since found an interior tag with the following info: 50% Viscose, 30% Nylon, 20% PBT. Good to know. If I had to guess, I would have guessed clouds and unicorn wings.
And just fyi, when I posted the rust colored one last week, I had tons of readers comment that they have 2 of these sweaters. And quite a bit even commented that they have 3. So clearly, I’m not the only one that loves this sweater. UPDATE: I’ve received some questions about laundering over on Facebook, and I have never hand washed this sweater. I wash and dry it like normal, I just don’t throw it in with towels or anything. I’ll sometimes pop it in the dryer for 10 minutes or so, then gently tug on it to stretch it out a bit and then hang it to dry the rest of the way.

And y’all.
How fabulous is this clutch.

It has total Clare V. vibes, but it’s a fraction of the price. The cognac is a beautiful color, and the red and navy stripe is bold and so much fun! The “leather” is very soft, and it looks much more expensive than it is. I think I will most often carry it like a clutch, but it does come with a gold chain for the option of wearing it cross body.
I mean, the theme for today is GET. THE. SWEATER.
But the clutch is so good too.
As a reminder, here’s the sweater in rust. The rust has a bit of delayed ship time right now, but there are so many colors to choose from. And as you can see, I’m pretty smitten with the large monogrammed disc necklace and the gold party bangles. They’re in both outfits in today’s post.

So, that’s it for today!
A quick little post BECAUSE I JUST COULDN’T WAIT.
Next week I already have plans to show you several more ways to style the sweater.
Here’s what I’m thinking right off the top of my head:
- super casual with my favorite Amazon 7/8 leggings and my new neutral Adidas Edge Luxe sneakers (in clear brown/nude/white)
- styled with my raw hem ankle jeans, my leopard spot sneakers, and my black and cream bag strap
- styled with a 1/2 tuck with my itty bitty boot cut jeans and neutral booties
- dressed up a bit with some new plaid leggings (from Loft) and some tall cognac boots (these are gorgeous and ON SALE)
That’s all for today, y’all!
SHORT AND SWEET.
And bossy.

Rachel says
I’m one of the readers with 3. It truly is the best sweater. Looking forward to seeing your post where you style it several ways next week!
Jessica says
Okay, I got it. You never steer me wrong, and you clearly love this sweater. Seriously considering the clutch and the monogram necklace too.
Sheaffer says
Hey, Jessica! YES! You’ll love it. You might even end up with a 2nd color. 😉 xoxo
Carole says
How is it for warmth? As in, do you get too hot in it? I have been wanting to try it but worried about that since I’m in Arkansas, and we don’t get much colder than you do in Texas.
Sheaffer says
Hi, Carole! I wore it last week to the mall, lunch, and a day full of errands. I was great all day! I think it really helps that the turtleneck isn’t tight at all. Real turtlenecks often keep me too toasty. I really think you should give it a try! Hope this helps. xoxo
Carole says
It does! Thank you!!
texasdev says
What size did you get? I am debating xs or small. Thanks!
Sheaffer says
Hi there! I got a small. If between sizes, I would size down. It should still be roomy! xoxo
Alison Althouse says
The only thing that keeps me from ordering is the batwing sleeves… is this a sweater that needs to stand alone or can it be layered with a coat or vest??
Sheaffer says
Hi, Alison! I wouldn’t put it with a denim jacket or something similar, but you could definitely layer it with a long coat. Probably not a vest. Hope this helps! xoxo
Vivi Mackenzie says
How’s the sizing? Sorry if I missed where you talked about that aready! 🙂
Sheaffer says
Hi, Vivi! That’s okay! I’m in a small and it’s still a very relaxed fit! xoxo
Jill Thomas says
I look at this sweater all the time. The bat wing seems like it could be cool or could be weird. Can you hold an arm out in one of your pics to show the true size of the sweater?
Sheaffer says
Hi, Jill! Are you on instagram? Later this afternoon/evening, I’ll post a video try on that I filmed yesterday. You’ll be able to get a better idea of the overall fit! xoxo
Jenny says
Hello!
Are you wearing the same size in both sweaters? The rust one appears to be much longer? I am asking because I’m tall and debating what size
To order. Thanks for your help.
Sheaffer says
Hi, Jenny! I’m wearing a small in both. I think they are the same length, it might just be that the lengths look different because of a slightly different camera angle? xoxo
Kim S. says
Hi Is is just me or is the rust sweater longer? I was reading the comments on your Instagram post and someone said the style last year was longer. Just wondering if you could wear the new one with leggings. Thanks!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Kim! I will show the cream one with leggings next week! It’s long enough for me, but I guess it depends on leg length, torso length, etc…. xoxo
Gail Wilson says
It’s so cute – that baby couldn’t get in my cart fast enough!! While I’m on Amazon, would you have a link to those grocery totes you showed a couple months ago – the ones you take to the ranch? We’re going to a mountain cabin next month and thought they’d be perfect for lugging all of our goodies!
Thank you!!
Sheaffer says
Hey, Gail! Here’s the link: https://amzn.to/31MuRqE They are awesome!!! xoxo
Tammy K says
I just ordered the rust and I can’t wait! I’ve ordered multiple things that you’ve recommended in the past, and you haven’t steered me wrong yet!
Sheaffer says
That makes me happy, Tammy! xoxo
Shay Shull says
Well, that is ADORABLE!!!!
Julie says
The link goes to a ribbed sweater. It doesn’t appear to be the same one. I love the one you have on!! 🙂
Sheaffer says
It’s definitely the right link, Julie! Mine does have a fine rib to it too. xoxo
Deb Morey says
You’re right as usual! Got it! Love it!
Sheaffer says
Love to hear that! Thank you, Deb! xoxo
Mary Ann Oswald says
I am so confused by the hem! In your pictures it is straight across.
The hem in the Amazon pictures is far more irregular.
I ordered 2 and they both have the “irregular” hem which I am not a fan of.
Is your hem actually straight across?
Sheaffer says
Hi, Mary Ann! This is sometimes an issue with Amazon. I’ve noticed that sometimes pics don’t match up exactly with what you get, and sometimes things are inconsistent between colors. I do think my rust colored one has more of an irregular hem across the front…both of them have a high low hem, being a bit longer in the back. What colors did you get?
Hailey Hanessian says
Okay, okay, okay. I ordered the sweater in Indigo. Not coming until mid November but in Maryland it can be cold until April.
Sheaffer says
Haha! Well, you’ll be THRILLED when it shows up in November. 🙂 xoxo
Erika Slaughter says
How’d I miss this yesterday?? Cute, cute, cute! I think I need this sweater too!
Jean says
Hi!
Where did you get the monogrammed necklace pictured with the sweater? The link isn’t working!
Thanks!!!
Sheaffer says
Hi, Jean! You can go to http://www.goldenthreadshop.com directly. I did hear that links are down and that they are working on it, so you could always check back later to see if the links have been fixed! xoxo
