Caro Cropped Lightweight Cashmere … curated on LTK

I’ll admit it: sometimes the quest for high quality can leave me with options that are well made, sure, but staid, frumpy, and just not aspirational. Banana Republic has been really great at delivering quality AND a vibe. Their proportions are current. The colors are relevant. Some pieces that really stand out: 1. The Icon Classic Wide-Leg Jean 2. Luna Cashmere Sweater Top 3. Caro Cropped Lightweight Cashmere Sweater 4. The Perfect Silk Shirt 5. The Boxy Crop Shirt The Luna cashmere sweaters are more dense and thicker than Caro, which are the lightweight sweaters. Within each of these collections, they have different styles, all with the same knit. So if you like one, you’ll probably like the others LTKVideo LTKFindsUnder100 LTKWorkwear

I love these trends because they’re wearable and aspirational at the same time.

I’m wearing:
* Club Monaco Helek Silk Shirt, Blanc De Blanc/Casse, size small
* J.Crew Signature gold-link necklace
* J.Crew Sugar disco hoops, crystal (they are so light and comfortable! But the back feels stuck so I’m using a plastic back from Amazon)

I loved the fit unless otherwise noted:
Ruffled Mini Dress (like Chloé), $179, blush pink, size S
Flared-Sleeve Sequin Top, $179, size S
Flared-Sleeve Sequin Trousers, $179, size 2
Fringed Sequin Top, $219, size 4, was okay but I also could have sized down to 2
Fringed Sequin Midi Skirt, $259, size 2
Asymmetric Cowl-Neck Midi Dress, $139: tried on size 4, and I should have sized down to 2

Pass:
Bias-Cut Satin Midi Dress, $149, 100% acetate

Not in video:
Sequined Mini Shift Dress, $179, size S – love that the zipper is long enough to walk into the dress. No need to pull it on overhead. Great shoulder pads.

My size: 5’7”, usually 26 jeans, 0-4 in US sizes.#dress #classicstyle

🤍 Banana Republic Stretch-Sequin Midi Skirt, size small (size down if between sizes; more of a champagne color IRL than the antique gold you see online)

1. Club Monaco Helek Silk Shirt, Blanc De Blanc/Casse, size small

2. Italic Billie Chunky Oversized Cashmere Cardigan, pebble grey, size small (worn tucked into an elastic belt)

I recommend wearing shapewear shorts so you can tuck the shirts into it and still have a smooth look. I’m wearing a random pair from TJMaxx - probably not close to the most effective option, but it works well enough.

I’m wearing a stretchy belt under my bra, and I tucked the Italic cardigan into it for a cropped look.

Massimo Dutti shoes are 1. great and 2. sized so that US8 is actually European 39. I wear size 38.5, and my order of size 8 fits well. I had to return the 9s - too big. Weird, right?

My size: 5’7”, usually 26 jeans, 0-4 in US sizes. Shoes: 38.5.

My party separates have stayed fresh through a lot of trend cycles - they’re the real basics. But that doesn’t mean you have to spend on museum-quality pieces. They just have to be good at what they do. A little bit undone, a little bit easy - that’s what I’m looking for anyway.

* Mango Sequin jacket with pockets, size small (oversized fit)
* Banana Republic Stretch-Sequin Midi Skirt, size small (size down if between sizes; more of a champagne color IRL than the antique gold you see online)
* Club Monaco Helek Silk Shirt, Blanc De Blanc/Casse, size small
* Italic Billie Chunky Oversized Cashmere Cardigan, pebble grey, size small (worn tucked into an elastic belt)
* J.Crew High-rise sailor denim trouser in 1996 semi-stretch, Dani Beca wash, size 25
* Valentino Garavani 2001 100mm Loafer Pump Heel, color: Nero & Ivory, size 38.5
* Narrator: Luxe Wool-Blend Off-Shoulder Top, size small

I’ve been reluctant to get a black belt because it feels kinda basic, but the croco texture here adds just enough of an interest. And I love the buckle.

My signature gold necklace from J.Crew is now on back order, so I had to find alternatives. I narrowed it down to a few pieces at Etsy - bonus, I found silver, too.

The Hermès necklace is 10mm wide fyi.

The Etsy gold necklace comes in bracelet lengths, too.

I love getting what I love for less, I mean who doesn’t? The sailor jeans + sparkly lady jacket formula feels so right: it’s easygoing, it’s festive, and it’s pieces you can wear in many different ways.

I’m wearing:
J.Crew High-rise sailor denim trouser in 1996 semi-stretch, Dani Beca wash, size 25
Mango sequin jacket with pockets, size small (but I’ve seen the J.Crew mariner jacket with sequins and prefer its neatness)
Valentino Garavani 2001 100mm Loafer Pump Heel, color: Nero & Ivory, size 38.5

My size: 5’7”, usually 26 jeans, 0-4 in US sizes. Size 38.5 shoes.

I love this necklace so much, so I’m hoping it’ll work out for someone else! Here are other recommendations as well. I’ve loved Hermès’ Chain d’Ancre collection, so I am very happy to see these pieces that are also inspired by the marine chain

I am so impressed by J.Crew’s jewelry lately! The gold has a beautiful tone, which is not easy to pull off. Some treasures at Mango as well - now with a 30% off code.

These marine-chain inspired pieces remind me of the Chain d’Ancre range from Hermès, which I have been loving for years. #classicstyle

I am loving the gold tone at J.Crew - it’s gold-plated brass. Gold tones are not easy to execute it well, and I am so happy with my recent J.Crew jewelry purchases.

Of course, The Met brings inspiration from history and gorgeous gold plating as well.

I’m wearing the Massimo Dutti Trench coat with belt in camel, size small, but a medium would fit me better.

Uniqlo’s size S fits me – it’s a slim fit, too.

I’m wearing the Massimo shoes in size 8 - which is really 39 European. You order an 8, and that’s what they send you. I’m a 38.5, so that’s perfect for me.

I love contrasting the plush texture of corduroy with a sleek leather shoe. The loafers are the classic choice, and it’s such a polished, effortless look. I do love the pointy flat - with a sheer black sock to create a sleek line and add allure.

I’m wearing:

Caramel cords: J.Crew Sailor slim-wide pant in stretch corduroy, color: Rich Coffee, size 25

Sweater: Italic Emma Cashmere Relaxed Turtleneck Sweater, ivory, size S

Loafers: 8 by Yoox Polish Leather Penny Loafer, color: black, size 9

Love this combination: a sparkly lady jacket with sailor jeans. I’m partial to my sailor jeans in velvet, but any dark jean would look great.

I saw this J.Crew jacket in person. It’s well done. The trims look good, too. I love that my Mango jacket is soft, so it drapes well. Wear it closed to avoid the warping along the edges.

My outfit:
Mango Sequin jacket with pockets, size small
Citizens of Humanity Loli Velvet High-Rise Wide-Leg Jeans, Burgundy size 26

I’m wearing 100mm Jimmy Choo heels to work with the hem of the jeans.

I love shearling a lot, both as a cozy winter staple and for cooler summer days with a Malibu vibe.

Shearling is the gift of warmth, and we’ve got so many great options on sale. I did my best to narrow them down to the best of the best in terms of quality and value, faux included. #LTKFindaUnder50 #shearling #ugg

It’s so worth it, right? I really enjoy using the LED mask, and consistency is key with it. I’m adding some sheet masks faves here. I think these all work about the same.

The mask i used last night is the retinol serum mask from #OOTD. My faves for the last few years are from JMSolution, so I’m adding them here.

Essentials are too boring as gifts, but we do want people to use what we get them, right? These are all a luxury to use.

Even someone who has a lot of brushes would appreciate this set from Rephr. They’re Japanese brushes that have specialized proportions, and yet now I find them essential. They’re my go-to daily.

The beauty pouch is giving YSL and is also hilarious - the label says QUILTY PLEASURE.

Big overlap between the sweaters I’m enjoying the most and the sweaters most popular with you! I wish I could wear more of them - it’s gonna be 76° today 😭

I’m wearing size small in all the sweaters. The Ralph Lauren cable knit sweater is very fitted - size up for a relaxed fit.

Loving the sailor cut in jeans and corduroys! My J.Crew cords go in and out of stock in rich coffee (my color).

I’m wearing size 25 in both the cords and the jeans. My usual size is 26.

My ivory sweater is the Emma turtleneck from Italic, which is OOS. It’s a size small.

Wearing the perfect silk shirt from banana republic, also size small.

My size: 5’7”, usually 26 jeans, 0-4 in US sizes.
