Outfit of the Week: Shear Sweater Layering

Layering has been a trend since 2011, but has still kept its place in the closet for the catwalks.  It's cute for the summer (especially lace) and is great for those cold days you need to keep a sweater over your shoulders.

Camis and tanks are great for layering.   Now... What about the sweater? All you need to do is find a cute shear sweater to go on top. I wear a tan sweater so I prefer a grey cami under it.  Also, long necklaces are a great accessory to use; you could bump it up and use a bright color, or tone it down and use a neutral color instead.

I like to wear grey sweater boots to go with the whole "sweater-y" look, but almost any boot is fine.  You could even dress up the outfit and wear some heels if you want the theme of the outfit to be less casual. 

Skinny jeans go well with it and give you more shape; this is a good idea if your sweater is very poof-y and doesn't give you much form.  If you don't like skinny jeans or the shape of the sweater, a thick/large belt is good to cinch in your waist a bit more; it works as a nice accessory in case you don't wear or like necklaces.

Bath & Body Works Review: Shea Cashmere & Silk Body Lotion

Not too long ago Bath & Body Works had an amazing New Year's Sale and during that time I bought one of their most luxurious body lotions!  It was a wonderful purchase and I recommend it to all of my friends!

The smell has a very warm and soothing affect; with hints of vanilla, almond, cherry mixed together.  I would say that it lasts about 3-4 hours.  During that time the scent slowly fades away but is still noticeable.  I bought an 8 fl oz. bottle (236 mL); not sure if they make it any bigger.  The sale that they had going on was AMAZING.  The original price was $16.50, but with the sale it was about $7.oo. 


I would really recommend this lotion as a substitute for perfume.  It is a whole lot cheaper and smells just as amazing.  Also, this is great for the winter-time when skin is especially dry and really needs some hydration!

** Bath & Body Works Shea Cashmere & Silk Description **

"The perfect everyday luxury, this ultra-moisturizing body lotion wraps your skin in soothing  cashmere and silk.  It absorbs quickly to nourish skin, leaving it unbelieving soft and lightly fragranced with an irresistible blend of almond blossom, vanilla and creamy sandalwood."
