I recently picked up this great ruffle sweater from Target's new line, A New Day. If you haven't checked out that line yet, you must! They have really fun and trendy styles.
I was instantly drawn to this sweater, but a little unsure of how I'd style it. Ruffles in bright pink tend to look childish, and with my baby face I have to be mindful of that!
I had a fun "play dress up in my own closet" session to play around with this sweater.
Style 1
The ruffles and hot pink need a little chic to balance them out. I first paired the sweater with a polished pair of flares, leopard flats, and statement earrings.
A half tuck accents the waist.
Style 2
The sweater felt really sassy and feminine paired with a patterned pencil skirt and black pumps. Pearls add a professional vibe.
Style 3
The sweater is such a statement on it's own that it pairs wonderfully with dark wash skinnies. Pointed flats add that needed dose of chic.
How else would you style this sweater? I know I will definitely be wearing it for one of my Christmas gatherings coming up these next few weeks!
Since Daniel and I leave for New Zealand December 20th, all of our festivities are early this year. Our family has been so gracious planning around us. It's the opportunity of a lifetime and I can't believe I'll be on my first international flight 19 days from now!
Thanks for stopping by :)

I love that line at Target! I think I saw this sweater in black and thought about getting it. Love the styles you have here - especially with the pencil skirt. Cute! I was thinking of pairing it with a flirty holiday skirt and sparkly bling and heels for a party, but ended up going a totally different direction. Now I want to go back and get the sweater! :)
ReplyDeleteOh that would be gorgeous with sparkly bling and heels! I didn't know they had it in black, that would be gorgeous and so versatile.
ReplyDeleteI like the leopard flats too. I hope you have an amazing time in New Zealand!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the pencil skirt - thanks for reminding me to take a look at the latest Target sweaters!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute - Love it with the skirt!
ReplyDeleteWow, this just reminded me of a few tops I have with which I have to be very careful about which pants I pair it with, or else I lose my entire frame! Nice to see someone else have the dilemma with ruffles, which also make me look like a tween. I think your hair and pencil skirt compliment you the best!
ReplyDeleteI really like the look with the skirt and the skinny jeans. Very cute!
ReplyDeleteI like sweaters like this with some interest so they're cute without too much accessorizing!
ReplyDeleteKelsey, this sweater is darling! I really like all three ways that you have styled it. And I am also thinking how adorable it would be with a fuller skirt (like a skater style skirt or even a nice poofy tulle skirt), patterned tights and velvet booties...it would be super festive for holiday events! Thanks so much for linking up with me! I look forward to seeing how else you style your new sweater during the holiday season.
