SHOP THE LOOK
Lace Up Sweater: Express // Tank: Topshop (Textured Option)
Jeans: 7 For All Mankind (Under $100)
  Watch: Michael Kors // Lipstick: NARS (Heat Wave)
Sandals: Jessica Simpson
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff // / Bag: ZAC by Zac Posen c/o (Similar here under $50) 


 I bought this sweater at Express during one of their 40% off sales. If you have not noticed, lace-up details in both tops and in shoes are a big trend this spring.  I thought the lace up detail could be worn to the front (as it is intended) layered with my favorite tank underneath, and to the back - for a little more fun look.  This is not the first time I have bought something at Express - and worn it backwards.  A few years ago, I bought a striped top - and liked how it looked worn backwards better.

Also, I got my new sneakers in the mail yesterday - I picked them up during the "Friends" sale at Macy's last week.

  17. I was about to begin my comment, complimenting you on that lovely boatneck sweater when I remembered the word "laced-up" was in the title of your post. Hmm. Where's the laced-up bit? Best read the post, Sheela, get your facts right, and I'm glad I did!! Genius, Lisa, and I must say I prefer it worn backwards GRIN

    Speaking of loveliness, my weekly Friday link-up is live and on the blog now, Lisa, and I would love for you to come and share this gorgeous vision xoxo
