Skull Sweater

February 7th, 2013

Ray-Ban Aviators, 360 Sweater, Dannijo & Vintage Bracelets, Elizabeth and James Skirt, Dries Van Noten Heels, Zara Clutch, Essie “Cute as a Button” Nail Polish

I have a lot of playful items in my closet – sparkly shoes and cheeky prints. But I’m typically pretty traditional, even verging on conservative, when it comes to sweaters. I see this one as a gateway piece – from the front it’s classic: a heather gray, cashmere boatneck. But from the back, the neon skull gives it an edge that really sets it apart.

    This outfit is perfect. Exactly what i would wear in a regular day… (but with tights, Dublin is far too cold at the moment!) Well wear!

    That sweater is beyond divine, and blends with your clutch extremely well. I love how the orange vibe is repeated in your sunglasses!

    Emily, you are adorable! What does the skull represent?? I see them on jewelry and clothing and wonder what it means? Not a fan of the skulls but definitely a fan of Cupcakes and Cashmere!!
