Light as a Feather

Hello! A few days ago, I picked up this incredible, feather-y sweater at Ashby. The second that I spotted it in Ashby, I knew that it had to be mine. As you guys probably know, I'm very attracted to texture and the texture of this sweater is superb. Like wow. Wow, wow, wow. It resembles faux fur slightly but it also has a very feather-y texture to it. In reality, it's actually just a knit sweater with lots of airy yarn attached to it. It's unlike any sweater that I've ever seen before. There's a very rich, luxe, boho, free-spirited one-of-a-kind nature to the sweater. Bonus points for how incredibly soft and cozy this sweater is! Even better yet, this sweater only cost about $25. Personally, I feel like this looks like it would cost $100+ so I'm really stoked to have scooped it up at Ashby for just $25. 

For this look, I styled the sweater with a modern lace-up top. The beautiful green color and trendy detailing of this top make it one of my favorite tops in my wardrobe right now. With this outfit, I like the contrast of the very "now", trendy feel of the top with the sort of "old soul" feel of the sweater. I highlighted the color of the top with a cool pair of vintage DKNY dark green chelsea boots as well as a printed pair of lace-trimmed shorts. A swipe of lipstick, bed-head curls and a pretty crystal necklace pulled the look together.

Hello! You guys may already have noticed my golden "Tori" necklace from a few posts back but today, I'm showing it off again and bringing you a chance to win the same necklace with your name instead! Personal Necklace recently sent me this beauty and I've worn it almost everyday since I've had it. It's a classic piece of jewelry that is fun to layer with other necklaces for a bold look. This is the 24K Gold Plated Carrie Necklace and it's currently on sale for $53.95. 

To enter the giveaway to win your own customized name necklace like mine above, all you have to do is follow both me (@ToriRadday) and Personal Necklace (@personalnecklace) on Instagram and leave a comment on my Instagram when done. The giveaway will run for a week and the winner will be contacted through Instagram DM. It's a great giveaway so be sure to enter! 

For this look, I layered my "Tori" necklace with quite a few other golden necklaces. I paired it with a golden bar necklace and a couple golden crystal necklaces. The key to layering necklaces is to make sure that the metal colors match and to pick necklaces of varying lengths. I accessorized with a couple other pieces of golden jewelry including several geometric rings that I received for Christmas. I paired a sophisticated, lace-trimmed romper with the jewelry for a classic look. Gray heeled booties and a pop of red lipstick kicked the look up a notch.
