"Fox"y Lady


Happy Monday! I do love the animal sweater  trend, but I it has taken me a little while to find one that I think it appropriate for my age. By this I mean, I see animal print sweaters for my 10 year old daughter. She has one with a bunny in the middle. So, I like the trend, but was looking for one that a 30 something year old could wear. I loved this Fox Stole Sweater from Nordstroms as seen in the photo below. It gives the illusion of wearing a fox stole on my sweater. The neutral color of this sweater makes it very versatile.

These are the rules I followed for myself when looking for this type of sweater:

1. Make sure the animal print is off center .

2. Most multi-animal print sweaters will work.

3. Make sure the background color of the sweater is a neutral color.


These are a few I like and I have been on the hunt for a while!

  7. Hey, Carrie! I see you completed your quest. I love your fox ...the ONLY way to wear one, I think. Your styling is flawless, and thanks for showing other adorable critters. There's something charming about grownups getting to wear animal prints again.

  10. Okay, can I just say I L-O-V-E that sweater??? Foxes are the new owls. I just got myself a sweater dress from Tar-jay with a fox on it (check out my bloggity ogg next week to see some peeps of it). Love how you styled yours.
