Sweater Weather - Via: Summers in Seersucker

Hope all of you are having a fantastic Saturday! Incase you didn't get a chance to check it out yesterday, today I'm sharing my guest post via Summers in Seersucker! Hope you enjoy...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First off I want to say thank you so much to Megan for letting me guest blog! I love her site and her style, for someone of 16. Don't you? If you haven't yet, be sure to check out her guest post on my blog yesterday! (2 days ago) Anywho...

With pumpkins on every porch and the scent of turkey and Christmas trees gradually wafting our way, there's one particular item that is a "must-add" to your wardrobe... a sweater. It sounds simple, right? Oh no big deal, let me just go to the mall and pick one out. Wrong. Very, very wrong. The daunting task of picking out the perfect sweater this time of year is overwhelming. How can you narrow down your choices with so many amazing options!?

elbow patches or no elbow patches?

stripes or polka dots?

neutral or bright?

crew-neck or v-neck?

graphic print or solid?

long sleeve or fourth sleeve?

cropped or tunic?

cashmere or wool?

The list goes on and on, people! So today I'm going to give you four easy options, just incase you're in a sweater-rut this season. Hopefully one of them will suit your style!

1) J.Crew Camel Sweater - What's the nativity scene without the oh-so-recognizable camel? Not only does it combine neutral tones with a fun graphic print, but it's also extremely versatile! Pair it with some patterned pants any day of the week, and you're J.Crew model status.

2) ASOS Elastic Cross-back Sweater Dress- Just because you're wearing a big cozy sweater doesn't mean you can't look glamorous. This ASOS dress is the perfect way to stay comfortable and chic. Black, backless, and ideal for cooler weather!

3) Nasty Gal Rush Knit Sweater- I've already mentioned in previous posts how much I love plaid for fall. It's pretty much the most "mountainy, jumping-in-leaves, hiking, cocoa-drinking" print around. I love it in almost every color, but red and black is a classic that'll always be number one in my book.

4) Madewell Wafflestitch Colorblock Sweater- One of my favorite looks is the "baseball tee" look. Different color sleeves with a solid body is extremely chic! Don't you know that the baseball fad is in right now? Throw on a Yankees cap and hit the streets!

Which one is your favorite? If you pick one out and feel the urge to order, share a picture with us! We'd love to see it! Be sure to follow my blog at www.TrendyLindy.com! Thank you again, Megan!

This Goes Out To...

Sorry for the lack of posts yesterday and Wednesday. I was traveling and getting a jump start on my birthday weekend!

(Bare with me while I'm sentimental) 

Yesterday, as I sat in the Starbucks at my alma-matter, looking at all the students walking to and from class with their bookbags on their backs and their heads free of worry, not even realizing how fast their four years as a Pirate undergrad will fly by, I couldn't help but think about the little time here that I took for granted.

Don't get me wrong, class is awesome and I think everyone should work hard to get the degree that they want so they can achieve the career of their dreams, but don't take it all too seriously!

Have a good time, live a little, take advantage of your freedom and your friendships while you can. There are going to be times, like the ones I'm experiencing now, as a college grad living in Charlotte, where you're going to miss all of your peers and the free time that you had. After college comes way more responsibility then you could ever imagine. It's not always fun and football games. It's hard, it's challenging and it pushes you! 

99% of the time I try to live life without any regrets. I love all of the people that I met in school and I wouldn't change anything about the moments that I experienced... but one thing I might alter if I could go back in time would be my openness to new ideas and new experiences. Sometimes I felt like I lived in my own little selfish bubble where I just did what I wanted to do and didn't think about what I was missing out on. Don't do that, undergrads. Make yourself happy, but undertake the unknown!

Before you can even blink you'll be walking around campus as an alumni!

Oh and to the new East Carolinian Fashion Columnist... I read your first column and loved it! Glad to pass on my position to a trendy, talented Pirate. Keep up the awesome work!
