I am back for the second time with the fabulous ladies of Stylish Monday. Stylish Monday is a monthly series published in collaboration with a group of international fashion and lifestyle bloggers. It is another opportunity to be creative with our personal style as we join together each month with a style prompt or theme.

The style prompt for October was Sweater Edit. Being a writer and taking things literally, I had to consider the word edit before proceeding. Edit means simply to correct or change. So how does that apply to sweaters in October? I guess this is where we get creative. Not only in our sartorial interpretations of personal style, but in our linguistic interpretations of the words presented to us.

I could have re-styled a sweater that I have previously shared here. That would have been a suitable edit. However, I chose instead to take an old favorite sweater that I have worn many times but have never before photographed it…correcting, if you will, my failure to share a dear beloved jumper of mine.

Foxes are my favorite animals. I don’t remember when that began. And I don’t remember ever really having another favorite animal except maybe cats. But cats are more a favorite pet while foxes fit the broader category of favorite animal. Of course, I also have a favorite aquatic animal (octopus), favorite fungi (mushies), and a favorite mythical creature (unicorn). My word, how I digress. This is supposed to be about my sweater…

My foxy sweater! I found this cute piece at JCPenney years ago and I wear it at least once or twice every year. Navy blue and yellow is not my favorite ever combination (those were my school colors all through grade school and you know how that can make you dislike something). But still I could not resist this cute foxy sweater.

I paired it with light washed cropped flare jeans which are also super old. I haven’t worn these jeans in a few years because they were not fitting properly. But I recently shed a few pounds and now they work again! A cute little knit beret is a new acquisition because I need all the hats for winter. I am just too darn cold all the time. The cognac booties are also new to me (recently thrifted) and they are so comfortable and warm (they are lined in sherpa).

I completed my sweater edit with a thrifted moto jacket in brown and by adding my favorite fox head necklace. It is teeny tiny and delicate in rose gold and I just love it. I found it years ago at Kohl’s and couldn’t resist. And that’s all I have for you today.

“A colorblocked pink and fuchsia sweater is perfect for October particularly, because Pink raises awareness for Breast Cancer Month. This happy, bright piece is a new find from Target as are those new leopard pants (wish I had sized down in them, they have a hidden elastic band). Throw in a pumpkin, and I am ready for Fall with all of my sweaters!”

“Ponchos are such a fun and easy way to add a light layer to an outfit. This plaid one has been one of my wardrobe staples for years. I love the plaid pattern and autumnal colors. I can’t wait to pull it out each fall!”

“I won this tunic sweater from Bonmarche in a Christmas giveaway on Instagram a couple of years ago. The length gives me the option of wearing it as a dress with thick tights and long boots as I’ve done here, or over black skinny jeans and ankle boots when it’s colder.”

“Sweater season in Illinois lasts from potentially September through March and sometimes into April. (Last year, we got snow on Halloween!) If you did the math, that’s half a year at the least and possibly a full seven months.  Therefore, this midwest girl loves her sweaters of all colors, styles and of course fun, unique and embellished sweaters are even better in my book! I first saw this sweater on IG and loved how it was styled plus the fact that it says Rock and Love. Hope you take a minute to read my blog and see all the ways it can be worn and styled both in warmer climates as well as when it gets colder.”

“I love sweaters, because I am always cold. The thicker the better! But I don’t like cowls, they don’t look good on me. Which is a pity because they are so much warmer then a v-neck. Ah well, the things you suffer for the sake of fashion!”

“I saw this red cashmere sweater in a consignment store. It was my size, color and the price was right. So I gave it a new home in my closet despite I already had two other red cashmere sweaters. However, they have a turtle and crew neck, respectively. Thus, a V-neck was different enough. And, for my excuse, one can never have too many neutrals, right?”

“Cozy sweaters and cardigans make styling fall outfits so much fun.”

“Out here in California, the weather has her own idea of what fall looks like. With cold mornings to very high afternoon temperatures; our Autumn weather tends to be a bit manic, making my go-to knit something I can throw on and off with ease in the form of a cardigan or sweater vest. Layered over anything from jeans and a t-shirt, to a transitional sundress, either of these California wardrobe staples allows me to enjoy the look of “fall”, despite our Indian Summer weather”.

“I found this cute fox sweater at JCPenney a few years ago and I have never shared it on my blog before. I love the fun geometric graphic of the fox. Foxes are my favorite animal so I added my little rose gold fox necklace, too. This sweater is perfect for the beginning of sweater weather because it is a lighter weight knit and has 3/4 sleeves. I can even comfortably pair this sweater with shorts for a cute transitional look.”
