Manic Monday: Chunky knit and coated denim


I've never tried Vigoss before, but I keep hearing good things about the brand, so I decided to take a leap and buy this pair of coated denim. I gotta say - the fit is great - there are truly only a handful of brands that fit me well. I know this won't be my last pair.

It's funny how fashion tastes go in cycles, and for the longest time, I was over chunky knits.  Somehow my love for chunky knits has been rejuvenated and my collection has started to grow again over the last couple of years. Topshop is the best for affordable, quality-made, easy-fitting sweaters.

Sunnies: Vince Camuto | Scarf: Express (option) | Bag: Stella and Dot (striped option here, love this option) | Sweater: Topshop (option, option)  | Watch: Kate Spade (option) | Bracelet: Nadri (option) | Bottoms: Vigoss | Booties: Vince Camuto (option, option) 

I have one more work trip tomorrow - the last for the year, and I'm kind of dreading it. I keep telling myself that it's just a day and a half, and I can push through it!! Last week was so nice with no travel - I got to catch up on life a bit! Hopefully this week will still be productive despite my trip. We are celebrating Christmas with the husband's family this weekend and then, I get to spend next week in SoCal squishing my 3-month old nephew!! What are your plans for the holidays? Anyone traveling to some place fun?

    I'm loving chunky oversized sweaters these days. Love the extra shoulder detailing on this one and love the color combo. Cute hair style! Have a great trip and hope you get to enjoy the rest of the week after you get back. ~Cynthia

    I love this chunky knit. It looks so cozy. I wish I could get away with the chunky knit here..gah I would need a few more of those in our weather...but coming to coated denim, I bought one, tried it and returned it, it was from j brand. Somehow I could not wrap my head around how the coating felt on the denim. is this one waxy or more smooth like a regular denim? I am so torn because I would like one, but havent gotten a chance to find the right one... sigh.

    Oh hey! I recognize this outfit from the instagram #flatlay! I loved it flat on the floor, and I love it even more on you! I agree about Vigoss jeans, too. The one pair I have is nice and fits correctly (also rare for me) and I'll probably get more at some point. Sorry you have to travel again this week! I'll miss you when you're "gone" and can't WAIT for next week!

    So cute! It is funny how our styles kind of evolve. A few years ago I was all about dainty necklaces and was not into statement jewelry at all. Then for the past two years I've been obsessed with it, but lately all I've wanted is dainty pieces... weird!

    Love the detail on your sweater! This look is so perfect and chic for this season. My girlfriend travels a ton for work and I know how stressful that can be. At least its one more time for the year and then its holiday and party time! Sometime to look forward to! Safe travels!

    Ahh look gorgeous!! Yay for last work trip of the year :) I have to say I am a little jealous--my job has me stuck at a desk all day and my partner is on maternity leave so I don't even get to leave for lunch ha! Time out of the office sounds amazing hehe

    A favorite color combo of mine. I have heard of Vigoss and never tried them either. Might have to give them a try.

    Love Vigoss, have a couple pair of jeans from them and the fit is very flattering. You look so comfy, cozy and chic in your jean outfit and I love the hair too. <3 Hope you have a wonderful new week pretty. XOXO, Elif

    I find chunky knits hard to wear because over-sized doesn't often look too flattering on me - but I love this sweater on you...I'm definitely going to give chunky knits another try :-)
