Fairer Isles

Fair Isle printed sweaters seem to be pretty big this year. I've seen them at many stores and I'm glad I was able to pick this one up on clearance at TJMaxx at the end of last winter.

While I only wore it a couple of times before things warmed up, I was not all too pleased with the outfits. I feel like this one is finally a success... Now I just need some inspiration on how to style it next.

  1. That's the worst: having an awesome piece and just kinda styling it up wrong and ending up with dud outfits. It happens to the best of us, so I am glad you shared your success outfit!

  2. I tried on the fair isle sweater from Old Navy, but it just didn't fit right! Hopefully I can find something similar to this soon. :)

  3. I seriously think that sweater is so cute on you - and it looks perfect paired with those dark jeans.

  6. The colors in your fair isle are much easier to style than mine. I ended up giving mine away. It was an odd combination. Maybe layer it over some neutral buffalo plaid? Like a navy and cream check? I'm trying to think of skirts you've worn too because it would look great with a pencil skirt that maybe has a little special detail.

  10. Pretty sweater, I only have one fair isle sweater which I've worn a handful of times. Your sweater is a neutral color so you could pair it with a bright colored skirt maybe a coral/orange color or a light gray fit and flare mini skirt and tall boots. I actually think the latter would look great on you!

  11. I like fair isle patterns and I really like the colors in your sweater. Maybe you could style again belted over a dress?

  16. That's so hard when you have such a wonderful piece and there's no idea how to style. I hope inspiration will come to you, because it's truly a wonderful cardigan and timeless.

  17. I really like this navy cardigan and how you have styled it here - very pretty! I have seen quite a few of these around this season, but wasn't sure about how I would style one. Now I may reconsider. :)

  20. While I really like the look of fair isle on others, particularly around Christmas - I'm a sucker, I can't help it! - I've always felt like I'd really struggle with how to style. I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds is tricky - but then again, you nailed it so completely with this look, pretty much all I'd have to do is copy it exactly and I'd be good to go :) I have to say, in all seriousness, you are one of only two people who ever makes me think it might be a good idea to try flared jeans again. You just wear this pair so well every time!

  22. It doesn't get more classic than this, a fair isle and a bootcut pant. You look gorgeous!

  23. You did a great job styling it Lydia. Hmm i see the white and think it would be great with a white coat as well.

  26. I like the way you pair it with denim maybe a skirt or jacket next time would look good.

  28. I like the details that's also on the sleeve - so pretty. I have 1 fair isle sweater that I hope is coming out to play soon. It's a heavier sweater so I have to wait till it really does get colder.
